Where are voters hiding?

We need to see new faces.

In the past few months, the committee promoting the Clyde-Green Springs School building package and the related 1-percent, earned income tax have held a variety of local events.

Our newspaper has attended both community forums, thus far plus the school tour held Saturday to see the new Seneca East School near Attica.

The local core committee is reaching out and contacting people in the community, but when it comes to these public events many of the same 100- 200 faces keep turning up.

Often we have seen school employees, committee volunteers and their immediate families in attendance.

There has been a visible lack of senior citizens and the blue-collar families. Without those two groups, this project has no chance.

School superintendent Todd Helms and other volunteers have taken their message on the road to clubs, churches and even Green Springs Village Council.

This is a key project for the Clyde and Green Springs communities, we are a bit disappointed that more local voters are not out getting first-hand details on the tax proposal and the Ohio School Facilities Commission project proposed for our community.
