Poll: Do you Vote?
Voting is a right not everyone always exercises. Tell us if you vote — why or why not?
Voter turnout is never 100 percent. So, we want to know why some people decide not to vote. In Stow's last election, which was a special election in August, only 6,660 went to the booth. Granted, Issue 2, a 6.57-mill operating levy was the only item on the ballot in Stow, but it's still a low turnout. With several heated races on the ballot, voter turnout is expected to be much greater. But, we still want to know why non-voters chose to avoid the polls. So, take our poll and then comment about why you don't vote or what reasons you'd give to non-voters about the importance of casting a ballot. Important Nov. 8 links:

Donny, it sounds to me like it is more of the same, pass this and then we will read it to find out what is really in it. Any of you people out there that think passing this levy is going to "improve" or help to keep this district in the "excellent with distinction" category are being fooled by the current School Board. Look back to passing the operating levy a year ago. The first thing that … more ›

We do not need a mayor that wants to be everybody's friend. We need a leader. Leaders do not have that personality disorder where they become depressed if everybody doesn't like them. Leaders are decisive and make decisions based on what's best in the long-term. Leaders do not micro-manage. Leaders have enemies because they stand for something. Politicians have very few enemies because they tell … more ›
