“VOTE NO” Present system isn’t broke As I approached the ”Vote Yes” booth at Warsaw Fest and read its poster I thought it was odd that it made no case for how it would improve education in Richmond County. Not one word! Then I read Mr. Cupp’s Op Ed piece in the October 17 News and he too vigorously reinforced that voting ”Yes” in no way profits our children.
