Verona voters went to the polls in greater numbers on Tuesday, sending incumbent Jack McEvoy back to the Town Council for a second term and electing newcomers Dr. Christopher Tamburro and Cynthia Holland.
According to the unofficial vote count, 2,508 of Verona’s 11,731 registered voters cast a ballot, a 21.4% turnout overall. The count in any election is unofficial until certified by the Essex County Clerk. Only 19.9% of Verona’s registered voters voted in the last Council election in 2019. In 2017, some 24.5% of registered voters cast ballots in that year’s Council election. The turnout this year was highest in District #6, which votes at Forest Avenue School, and lowest at District #9, which votes at Verona High School. Between 2% and 5% of voters in each district opted to vote by mail.

I fully agree with the editorial High Time to Change the Way Boys are Brought Up in SA (DD May 12).
There is not much a government can do to control the behaviour of boys and men in their violent minds, killing anyone for that matter. The mind boggles to think that anyone can ever have such gruesome thoughts, let alone commit these heinous crimes.
Life sentences are handed down in our courts every day for murder and rape perpetrators, yet it does not seem to deter others.
