Final Score... Recount results [UPDATED]
Gilford's version of "hangin' chads" is now over. After several long hours of vote counting and discerning voter intent, the final tally is
Dale Dormody 879
Terry Stewart 871
The six people counting ballots worked very hard. The process was filmed and observed. While the possibility of human error can never be ruled out, this election is now over. Dale has won the seat, replacing Sean Murphy. [Congratulations, Dale!] The Budget Committee therefore is the same as last year's, essentially, but with one other change:
The Gunstock Acres Water District, per the Municipal Budget Act, gets to appoint a representative to the Budget Committee, which they have done. At a meeting of the Board, it was unanimously decided to
appoint Terry Stewart to the Budget Committee
And thus, Gilford embarks on a new year of politics, budgets, and excitement. All citizens of Gilford should be proud today, as the body politic is alive and well!
Let the games begin!
[UPDATE 1] After the recount, the Bean Property easement has now passed. We have not obtained exact numbers, except that it is reported as having passed by .04%.
