The New York primary is Tuesday. Both parties have pretty interesting, very competitive tickets.
So - get out and vote. This is important. This is a chance to participate in democracy in a meaningful way. We're out West, visiting relatives, but we sent in our absentee ballots a while ago. For the first time I can remember, the New York primary will make a big difference.
Important caveat: In Otsego County, we're used to being able to vote from 6AM until 9PM. This will not be true this Tuesday: voting times will be 12 noon until 9PM. I'm not sure why the change has been made - it's the same in nearly all the non-NYC-metro-area counties this time.
So go get that "I voted" sticker and wear it proudly.
I'm Gary Koutnik, the Otsego County Representative from District 11 (Wards 1 and 2 in the City of Oneonta). This blog is an opportunity for me to communicate with the voters in my District, and others who are interested in Otsego County issues. Enjoy!
