Sometimes when I walk into the Newfane Town offices, I am overcome with nostalgic feelings of attending five of my eight years of grade school in that building.
It was in that building in sixth grade that I used to wait for Leo Laitres to hand out the Weekly Reader. Every Tuesday, I had a craving curiosity to find out how people could make positive change all over the world.
That newspaper, as well as that grade school, taught me that every citizen has power. The power of our own vote. One citizen, one vote. Doesn't matter if you're Jane Doe or Joe Blow. We're all equal in that voting booth.
To my fellow citizens, I'm here to ask you to please vote no on the proposed bond that will replace the beautiful historic Town Office with a new building.
