Published in the Wakefield Daily Item, March 9, 2023. We’ve all heard the philosophical riddle: “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” Well, I’m no philosopher and I don’t know the answer. But I do know the answer to a similar question: “If someone has an opinion on an issue, perhaps even a strong one, but doesn’t vote, will their opinion make a difference?”
I was able to vote ahead of time at town hall- it was great!
