The first half of the recall elections for 4 selectmen in the Town of Paris was completed tonight.
444 people voted today; 276 votes were cast by absentee ballot before today. Total votes cast for this part of the election = 720 votes.
The ballots, and the results:
*Shall Selectman David Ivey be recalled? 651 Yes 69 No
*Shall Selectman Lloyd "Skip" Herrick be recalled? 116 Yes 600 No (4" no vote")
One half of the job done. Paris voters made the effort, made their own decisions, and voted accordingly.
Now there is Friday.
Friday February 5, another recall election, another $1000 from the taxpayers' pockets for the cost of a second 8 AM to 8 PM election. It did not need to come to this.
But, since it did, Paris voters, we need to finish the job. The polls will open Friday at 8 AM., and it will cost another $1000. So get your money's worth, bearing in mind who takes care of this town and who takes care of himself.
On the ballot: Selectman Ray Glover; and Selectman Troy Ripley. Come and vote.
