Next Tuesday is municipal election day. Turnout for all elections is low, but especially for local elections. We are all quick to criticize our elected officials but we are not so quick to take the time to be informed citizens and to vote. I think that may be the greatest threat to democracy.
When we fail to exercise our right to participate in the process, we forfeit our power to others.
So please vote Tuesday. I hope you vote for candidates that I support, but I would rather you vote for any candidate rather than none, because our democracy depends on it.
