TWO OR FOUR YEARS The town debates county official terms
Town newspapers discuss lengthening county official terms to four years. If enacted, current two year terms expiring next year could be extended two years without a fall election. An alternative would split fall elections between two and four year terms. County supervisors may adopt biennial elections like Indiana, with two elected each cycle. The Tribune seeks reader input.
