Sidney Update: Staying Front and Center
Sidney January 29th. 2007, 10:11amThe Sidney Town Committee met last week to make plans for using the momentum of the last election to make the Democratic Party more visible and more active here in Sidney.
We want to get more of our local registered Democrats involved, so we’ll be using the lists we have from our phone banking to stay in touch. We’re also going to work to fill all the seats on our Town Committee and, we hope, get some younger people involved.
Another thing we talked about was putting together a few public events around the issue of town-owned alternative energy. We hope to have three events: one each to discuss the feasibility of wind, solar and hydro-electric power.
(After last year’s flooding, we’re all agreed that we certainly have enough water with enough power to light all our houses here in Sidney!)
We’ll follow up those events with others that touch on other issues of importance to our neighbors here in Sidney. Our hope is that, as the Committee becomes more active, it will be easier to get folks involved because there will be something for them to be involved with.
We’re also discussing recruiting candidates for upcoming local elections this year. All in all, we haven’t lost a bit of our enthusiasm here in Sidney since November. Onward and upward!
