Town meeting day!

Here in Vermont, the first Tuesday in March is Town meeting Day. Obviously, this year is the Primary as well. All local elections are held on this day, as well as the town budget vote and other town business. It's also a state holiday. Only registered voters of that town may speak or make a motion on an issue. Many towns still vote from the floor, as opposed to a secret ballot. What I find interesting is the fact that this process is largely unchanged since the 1700's! And yes, I voted for Ron Paul.

Vermont Secretary of State -

It's also a sign of Spring somewhere in the distance!
