Regarding Auburn’s proposal for a single polling place — I applaud the effort to save tax dollars, but to do so at the expense of possibly limiting citizen participation in government was absurd, and almost heretical in my opinion. It would be the epitome of “penny-wise and pound-foolish.”

Thanks to all who attended the council meeting and voiced the many clear reasons to maintain Auburn’s present polling locations, and to the councilors for voting to do so.

Sanity prevailed, that is a good sign.
