The more of us who vote, the more local officials will pay attention to our issues over the next few years. With this November's ballot ranging from president to local bond issues and light rail, there is no excuse for not voting. Only the murder rate increased from 9 to 16. We think so. If you or a family member or a friend is not registered to vote, please take a moment and fill out and mail the attached voter regis-tration form by midnight on October 7.
More forms are available at any post office.
Early voting begins October 21 and runs through November 3. National and local elections will be held November 7. The last newsletter discussed proposed Smart Growth initiatives. At the September DNA meeting some concerns were raised about both the substantive effects of adopting some of the proposals and about the method of adopting such proposals. The planning committee handling this issue has met again, with input from more neighbors and city staffers.
