With the quadrennial elections of Greentown Town Council and Clerk-Treasurer scheduled for November 1995, there exists a possibility that there may be no election after all. As of press deadline, the following candidates had filed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court: $ Ward 1 - James A. Harris (D) 3 Ward 2 - Roger L. Wolfe (R) & Ward 4 - Robert Armstrong (D) Ward 5 - Don Flook (D) 5 Clerk-Treasurer - Carolyn Sue Johnson No one had filed from Ward 3. The current representative, Shirley Harper, has decided not to run for re-election. Asked about her decision, Shirley states that family situations have changed over her tenure (two terms) and that "sometime choices need to be made." She has enjoyed her time of service to the town and says that serving The east entrance to the new six-room addition to Eastern Elementary School on the Town Council helps you get acquainted with Photo by R. Jenkins what is involved in town government. Of late, her other commitments have not allowed her to spend the time for the Council that she would like to and she feels it is time to let someone else serve. If no one runs for Ward 3 representative, Shirley must retain the position or resign. If she resigns, the position will be filled by her party, Republican. If no offices are opposed, there will be no need for an election. The Town will save the cost of holding an election, but the citizens will be denied the opportunity of selection by ballot. The cost of the 1991 election was $527.00. The ballots cost $217, food $160, and election officials $150.
