How did Campaign 2003 end up?

Disclaimer:
The Weston LWV does not claim that this Internet page is anything more than a "get acquainted" forum, providing unofficial notes on the campaign as it progresses--leading up to the publication of our VOTERS GUIDE in the Weston FORUM shortly before election day, November 4.  Photographs have been either supplied by the candidates or taken from our files.  In all cases, these photos have been either on-line previously or the Weston LWV is using them with the candidates' permission.


Who won?  For 2003-2005...the Board of Selectmen in Weston, CT is:

the same crew as 2001-2003!  Richard Miller (D.), Selectmen, Woody Bliss (R.) First Selectman and W. Glenn Major (R.), Selectman.


So what did we do Election Day 2003?  We stayed dry!  Charter questions slowed pace of voting...

LWV members chipped in volunteering at the polls as checkers; mid-day crowd (l.) and after 8pm set (r.) try to make a decision on Questions (click for vote totals).


At Weston Center last weekend, Campaign '03 - reading is big here!  After sunny weekend, Tuesday dawned cold and damp.
