RICHMOND Town voters will recognize all the names on next month’s election ballot. That’s because they’re all current office-holders seeking another term, with no contested races.
RICHMOND â Town voters easily approved the second and final step to finance a new town hall, community center and library off State Road (Route 41). The project, costing up to $6.8 million, is on town-owned land adjoining the Richmond Consolidated School.
The âyesâ vote on a debt-exclusion ballot question at Saturdayâs annual town election was a landslide 260 to 22, said Town Accountant/Town Clerk Angela Garrity. The turnout was nearly 23 percent of Richmondâs 1,245 registered voters.
As was the case in most years, there were no contested races for town positions. Last year, with all candidates unopposed, only 51 registered voters turned out, about 4 percent.
