The first Tuesday of March is Town Meeting Day here in Vermont. Citizens throughout Vermont get together and elect local officers and vote on budgets. While it doesn’t get as much attention as some of the bigger elections, it’s still an important day in local politics. This year’s Town Meeting Day will be on March 3rd, 2009.
