Hits & Misses

HIT: To the wide range of school-board choices Cato-Meridian Central School District voters will get this year.

Seven people are running for three vacant seats, an impressive total for a small district. Of course, the budget troubles in the district over the past year likely motivated some people to run, but that's the way the system should work.

The best elections are ones that give voters a diverse array of choices. This race certainly has the potential to do that, and we urge the candidates in the coming weeks to engage the public in a discussion about this district's future.
