YES OR NO - Vote Nov 3 - 9/28/2009

I am concerned over the debate about incorporation vs. non-incorporation. I hope that the vocal voices of each side, will not ultimately divide this pleasant place.

Maybe some topics will be off the table for awhile, doesn't mean we can't work together to continue to build on "Swannanoa Pride".[read more...]
