Law prohibits voting by proxy

Editor, the Gazette:
Loren Close, where did you get your information (letter, July 28)?

State Statute 30.30 (2)(b) states that no absentee ballots or proxies are permitted.

The majority I wrote about voted while in attendance at the Rock Koshkonong Lake District's annual meetings. Every year since 1999, the majority has spoken with their attendance and voted to seek a more reasonable water level so all recreational users can benefit from this resource instead of a few who happen to disagree with the majority.

The issue is similar to voting for a new school. Everyone has an opinion, but as you know the majority wins-as it should be-or nothing would improve or change.

You insinuate that the board's equation is money. What a joke. There are five board members and thousands of voters.
