Hey John my house is appraised at 950k. 1.4 million and it's all yours. Surely you can get your neighbors to chip in.

No matter which side of the vote you were on....you have to love this town. From the editorial letters to the Sun, to the numerous signs on front lawns, to ANOTHER letter stuck under my mat from ANOTHER advocacy group....to all the conversations and debates this topic elicited...you have to love it here. I didn't grow up in a small town but boy oh boy...do I love living in THIS small town. So no matter how you feel about the Bancroft vote....it sure did elicit alot of excitment for the past few months and alot of passion too!!!!
