To the Editor:

I was happy to see that we will have two opportunities to see, hear and ask questions of the candidates for the Tuesday, April 6 vote for Town Board seats.

The traditional League of Women Voters (LWV) candidate forum is set for Thursday, March 18, 7:00-9:00 p.m., Town Hall Board Room. I understand it is to be covered by EPTV Channel 8 for those unable to attend.

Then, following that, and giving due deference to the LWV, the Association for Responsible Development (ARD) has scheduled a second candidate forum for: Wednesday, March 24, 7:00-10:00 p.m., also in the Town Hall Board Room. I understand this will also be covered by EPTV Channel 8.

This is good stuff. At a time of increased public interest in the political process, a second informative go ’round before we vote is just what the doctor ordered: “Take two forums and vote better in the morning.” As a town resident, I thank ARD and the LWV and plan to attend both sessions before I make up my mind.
