With 10 days to go before nominations close and the 2006 election is set in Mendon no one seems to care. There are only 2 races, selectman and moderator, that have a contest.
We know some people care very much. This blog has been visited 5000 times since November. There is a core group that checks in every day and leaves some very intelligent comments here. Get involved.
It’s been said that we are very hard on elected and appointed officials and people will not run as a result. That is not entirely true. There are many officials we have said nothing about because they do a good job and they are out the on the front lines. We should and will spend more time pointing them out in the future. So far we have been occupied with the glaring failures and shifty under handed dealing that goes on. That’s life in Mendon. Change it.
You can make a difference. All it takes is 20 signatures of registered voters and common sense. Time is running out.

"For those who have interest in serving the town, if you handle your responsibilities based on the issues, are open to others opinions, you will not have a problem. Get involved, without an agenda, but with the purpose of making Mendon better and you can."
Thanks for the comment Jay. You nailed it!

The challenge is out there. Should Dennis Shaheen walk into Ken O'Brien's seat on the board unopposed? That's not the path to any meaningful change in the current direction of the town or any positive progress for the future (though I'm sure we would see proposals regarding the Fino lot, especially selling off estate lots in the back, purportedly to garner immediate revenue from the parcel, but which also happen to abut Mr. Shaheen's property and would open up his back acreage for development).
