HAPPY PASSOVER AND EASTER, and for Conway residents, happy post-town meeting elections, which this past Tuesday left us amazed with the first tie that anyone can remember, on the controversial public restrooms article, which proved that every vote counts, with the tally ending deadlocked at 581-581. So far no one has requested a recount, though Mt. Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Janice Crawford is expected to do so. She has until next Tuesday (seven days after the vote), according to state law.
Sun Publisher Mark Guerringue hosted a reasoned discussion on his new “On the Mark” program on Valley Vision on Friday, April 8, which featured Janice as a proponent of the restroom article, debating Mark Hounsell as an opponent.
