The township trustee and township fiscal officer positions were at stake as well as a couple of school board positions and a few levies.
There was an interesting candidate for township trustee that I almost voted for and I wish I had now. He was a dish washer at a local restaurant, had no political experience, and only a high school education. I decided to go with one of the better educated, more experienced candidates, but I'm kind of kicking myself now.
Being the tax and spend liberal that I am I voted for all of the levies even though it will result in higher taxes for me if they pass. There was a police levy, a fire department levy, and a human services levy.
I missed the 2006 elections because I was out on the road at the time and I forgot to cast an absentee ballot. I promised myself that I would never let that happen again.
