A couple of weeks ago I had moderated the town of Royalton's candidate debates at the town hall. All in all it was a good evening of civics, representing democratic values in a republic style of government. A full house (well over 100 people) stuck around for three hours of Q&A with the candidates running for town supervisor (2), highway superintendent (3), and the town council (5). These folks turned out in droves because the town is at a crossroads in its history: this year we saw a major tax increase and the town leadership received a somewhat damning report from the NYS Comptroller's office.
