Margaret, I know there has been mention of adding a “I don’t like any of these options” to the ballot. I would urge you to consider making it a completely separate question.
The first should be to choose your favorite or even rank the current choices. The second question should be about supporting these options with a yes vote at the March Town meeting or voting no. I fear if the “no” is included in the options, as it was on the last ballot, it will split the vote of anyone who doesn’t love any of the current options or who don’t support the HCA rezoning at all.
