COUNTY SUPERVISORS DISCUSS REDUCING POLLING PLACES

A WOODBURY COUNTY SUPERVISOR IS EXPRESSING CONCERN ABOUT A PROPOSAL TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF VOTING PRECINCTS FOR MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

GEORGE BOYKIN SAYS HE'S WORRIED THAT SOME PEOPLE WON'T BE ABLE TO VOTE IF THEIR LOCAL PRECINCTS ARE CLOSED FOR SOME ELECTIONS:



BOYKIN'S COMMENTS SPURRED A DISCUSSION WITH COUNTY AUDITOR PAT GILL AT THE SUPERVISORS TUESDAY MEETING.

GILL IS LOOKING AT REDUCING THE NUMBER OF PRECINCTS TO AS FEW AS FOUR FOR MUNICIPAL, SCHOOL AND SPECIAL ELECTIONS IN THE COUNTY TO SAVE MONEY AND FOR OTHER REASONS:



SUPERVISOR DAVID TRIPP SUPPORTS GILL'S EFFORTS:



BOYKIN SAYS HE WILL NEVER COMPLAIN ABOUT THE COST OF ELECTIONS AND FEELS EVERY DOLLAR SPENT ON THEM IS MONEY WELL SPENT.
