On May 5, 2010, we had a roll call vote for Article 23, commonly known as the Police Station Article. From when I first became a Town Meeting member in 2001, then as Moderator in 2004, I do not remember any roll call votes being taken. Now we have had two in two years. As this just-completed Town Meeting showed unequivocally, our Town Meeting is very engaged in the process of self-government, and while challenging at times, it was a pleasure for me to moderate the 2010 Spring Annual Town Meeting. I will post a further post mortem in the near future.
The point of this post is as follows. In our town meeting, there are several familial relationships within the membership, which I think is great. The roll call votes the other night brought it to my attention again. So, without naming names, I can identify the following relationships:
5 Married Couples
3 sets of Siblings
3 sets of Father-Son
1 set of mother-daughter
There may be others of which I am unaware, and I didn't immediately recognize out in further degrees of kinship, but I thought this was pretty interesting.
