If you are a Cabot resident and agree that all the town's voters should be able to vote on the proposed ATV ordinance, you can sign an on-line petition to have the question decided by ballot on or before Town Meeting, 2013. The following was received by us this morning and will explain:  (I just clicked on the link provided and completed the petition.  It is very easy to use.)

 Hello,

I'm helping to circulate a petition to put before the Cabot Selectboard by August 1. The request is that the Selectboard put any final decision on an ATV ordinance to a vote on or before Town Meeting Day 2013. Its important that you know I'm not advancing a position for or against the matter; simply that 1) the process has been so fast, and 2) the proposed ordinance will have such broad impact, that more townspeople should have an opportunity to weigh in.

If you are unfamiliar with the draft ordinance, I urge you to read it before signing this petition. I've reproduced the text of the ordinance as at it appeared for discussion at the July 19 Selectboard meeting:

I'm trying to collect a minimum of 200 signatures, and I could really use your help.

If you support a town vote on the matter, please sign the petition and share it with other Cabot residents that you know.
