The Briarcliff Times: Election Update

The Peoples Caucus made the following announcement today: " Larisa Wayne-Paulmeno has notified us that she also has decided to seek the Caucus Nomination for the Board of Trustees, in addition to previously announced residents Mark Pohar and Cesare J. Derose, Jr."
The language of the notice above is interesting as it clearly points out that this THIRD candidate (for two open spots) "has informed" the Caucus of their intention to enter the race. In other words, the new candidate was not part of the secretive selection process where the Caucus pre-selects candidates and runs them unopposed. This candidate is inserting themselves into the process. Sigh...now there will be an election and a debate. But everyone is running on the same party line. While this certainly makes things more interesting, I continue to call for a candidate (or candidates) to run as OPPOSITION candidates to the Peoples Caucus candidates. Here in the United States, we have a multi-party democracy.
