This election it was hard for the bottom of the ballot to compete with the glamour at the top. However, voters proved both across the state and here in Allen County that they are ready for their government to join them in 21st century.
Voters in Aboite and St. Joseph townships demonstrated that they were ready for change in the structure of their local government. And while Wayne township was not quite ready, 31 of the remaining 43 townships across Indiana were.
Local results were as follows:
Aboite - Yes 8,494/ No 7,210
St Joe - Yes 14,509/ No 11,553
Wayne - No 14,397/ Yes 12,729
In tough economic times, taxpayers are ready for their government to spend their tax dollars more wisely. Chamber members, stay engaged, there is more to come. There will most certainly be more discussion as we head into the 2009 session to make local government smarter.
Thanks to everyone this election who worked on this important initiative!
