To the editor:

“Whether we think each other is right or wrong on the issues of the day, we owe each other respect." — Senator John McCain

And respect is what should be included in the FTM. Respect in this yearly matter, as with all matters in regard to the citizens of Barrington, means that everyone who could vote or would vote on the issues involved and discussed at the financial town meeting be assured that they have the opportunity to cast their votes. This has not happened for too many years. Let all those who can and want to cast their votes, vote at the polls on the issues raised at the financial town meeting.

"No man is good enough to govern another man without that other's consent." — Abraham Lincoln        

Respectfully,

Barbara Flanders

Barrington
