When a city is governed by a commission of only five members, the election of a single commissioner is important. That's why it's important for Fargo voters to go to the polls in today's special municipal election. Voters will select a new commissioner from among four candidates.
As recent city elections have demonstrated, the character of city government can change dramatically. In today's election the four candidates bring significantly different visions for Fargo to the ballot. Voters should study their positions critically and determine which of the four would best serve the city's interests.
A large voter turnout is always a good sign for representative government. Take time today to exercise the most important duty of citizenship.
