Friday is Final Day to Vote in P&S Council Election

As of Tuesday morning just over 300 voters had cast online ballots in the 2008 P&S Council election (about 12 percent of eligible staff). P&S Staff are choosing among 16 candidates to fill 10 seats on the 37-member council. Representation Committee chair Mike Hamilton says the vote is extremely close in several of the races. Voting closes at 5 p.m. Friday, March 21, and winners will be announced at the April 3 Council meeting.
