McDONOUGH – McDonough residents will not only be casting their votes for the county, state and national candidates of their choice when they head to the polls tomorrow: They will also be deciding whether to extend the terms of office for three of the town’s elected positions.

Residents will have the chance of voting yes or no on a proposition to appear on the back of the ballot form. The proposition proposes the adoption of Local Law No. 2 for the year 2010, which would extend the terms of office of the town’s supervisor, highway superintendent and clerk from two to four years.

If approved by voters tomorrow, the new law would supersede the existing provisions of Section 24 of town law.

“The first year, you’re just getting organized. The second year, you’re getting priorities in line, and the latter half of the second year, you have to campaign all over again,” said McDonough Town Supervisor Arrington Canor, on the need to amend the town’s current law pertaining to the terms of office for the positions in question.
