459.0. "May 2, 1994 Town Election" by 7361::RUZICH (Realtime Software Engineering) Tue Mar 15 1994 11:19

Here's the score card for the Monday, May 2 town election:

	Moderator:		Dick Gerroir (incumbent)
	
	Library Trustee:	Phil Bohunicky (incumbent)
				Anne Lesniak-Betley
	
	Selectman (2 seats):	Frank Ignachuck (incumbent)
				Dick Downey (incumbent)
				John Barilone
				Timothy Lawton
	
	School Comm. (2 seats):	Betsy Griffin (incumbent)
				Cindy Ruzich (incumbent)
	
	Housing Authority:	John Arnold
				Eulas Cole

All open positions have a three year term, except the moderator, which is
one year.  On the Housing Authority, I didn't mark an incumbent, because I 
don't know the people.

It's been several years since there was a contested election for the Board
of Library Trustees, where longtime incumbent Phil Bohunicky is challenged
by Anne Lesniak-Betley.  I believe Ms. Lesniak-Betley is active in the
Friends of the Library.

The selectmen's race is particularly interesting, with two seats open and
four people running.  John Barilone was on the old DPW board, before the
new charter deleted the board, and moved the responsibilities to the Board
of Selectmen.  

The School Committee has only uncontested seats, which hasn't happened
since 1989.

	Congratulations, Frank. >Frank Ignachuck was quoted as saying: "The real winners in this race >were Murphy and Snyder." Sorry, not sure I get it. Did they print the ballots? Jim
459.5	not the ballots...the campaign signs...	CTHQ::SNOW		`Tue May 03 1994 16:15`	7
	Nope...they printed all those signs you see stuck in yards around town! Congrats, Frank! Lin Snow

	Congratulations to Maynard for having a real election with more than one candidate for each position. I think every candidate in Acton's most recent election ran unopposed.
