If absentee voting is indicator, interest is high for school issue

By Ed Waggener

If the number of voters casting absentee ballots in the office of Adair County Court Clerk Sheila Blair, in the Adair Annex Building, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY, is any indicator, the interest in the vote on the Special School tax is very high.

A check at 4:10pmCT, Monday evening, December 14, 2009, showed that 79 voters had cast votes by machine, and, on the way out of the building, a friend announced that his purpose was to vote, which would make 80 by machine.

The number is almost twice the 43 votes cast in 2005 when the measure was defeated. This year, a far more intensive battle for modern schools has been waged by the Community Working for Children. Most observers still are ready to make a prediction that the measure, considered THE critical issue for Adair County progress in the next decade and beyond, will pass this time, but their hopes are high today.

The polls are now open across Adair County and will remain open from 6amCT until 6pmCT.
