Election Coming Up!

Care to get involved in government? Now's your chance! The Lake Herman Sanitary District has a three-member board. Right now that's Lawrence Dirks, Charlie Stoneback, and me (Cory Heidelberger). We serve three-year terms. Charlie's term expires this summer. If you're interested in serving in that position (and if you live in the district), you can get a nominating petition from Jerome Lammers at his legal office in downtown Madison (108 North Egan Ave.).

You can circulate your petition starting May 29. I don't know offhand exactly how many signatures you need, but I think when I circulated my petition last year, I needed signatures from just seven registered voters in the district. An hour of door-knocking or just five minutes of handing the clipboard around at a neighborhood barbecue is all it takes!

You can submit your petitions to me here at home (1883 Cottonwood Cove Trail). The deadline is June 18. If more than one person submits, we'll have an election on Tuesday, July 8.
