Democrats were the top vote getters yesterday, by a large margin in every race.
11,768 people voted, 594 by absentee ballot, and 144 using Election Day Registration. In total, 42% of registered voters cast a ballot.
Names in bold will be seated. Note that because of rules that restrict the maximum number of people from one party, Republicans with fewer votes than Democrats will be seated on the Board of Education and the Planning and Zoning Commission.

QUESTION 1
Shall the $5,000,000 appropriation and bond authorization for the acquisition of land and interests therein to preserve open space and farm lands in the City of Middletown, pursuant to the ordinance adopted by the Common Council on August 5, 2019, be approved?
YES 7303
NO 2019
Pretty cool that that the land conservation question passed by a 7 : 2 ratio. What a great town!
ReplyDeleteI wish to give thanks to all of our citizens who worked to pass the open space bond -- those who made signs, passed out flyers, spread the word to friends and neighbors, posted on social media, and most of all to everyone who voted for the issue. Those of us on the Commission on Conservation and Agriculture are committed to using a careful ranking system to assess land for purchase; we do our best to maintain trails wherever possible; and we look forward to preserving land in Middletown for the good of all our citizens. I do agree that this is a great town to live in, with a thriving downtown, with wild areas for recreation, with active farmland, and with many parks. We are fortunate indeed.
