Looks like I'll be sticking around on the Sciota Township Board of Supervisors. It was a tight election with the stealth write-in campaign going on. One of the things that bugs me about the other candidates is that they were A) not at the annual township meeting last night and B) I've never sen them at an annual township meeting. I've only missed one since moving here, and that was the part-2 of a meeting; I missed it as I was traveling to see my Mom in Oregon for her birthday. Kind of figured that was more important.

It also looks like we got a dose of what the motivation for replacing me is: there may be a push by one of the locals to allow dewatering as part of agregate mining operations. I don't have a clear understanding of what it entails, but it does not sound good. I'll be doing some research into this so as to get a good understanding of what it means and its impact on water tables and water quality for rural residential wells.
