OTB in Tompkins?

Today's Ithaca Journal looks at the proposition to allow Off-Track Betting in Tompkins County that is on next Tuesday's ballot. They've had two opinion pieces on the subject in the last few weeks. This is the one part of next week's ballot for which I haven't yet made up my mind.

Briefly in Tompkins contains a number of Dryden-related items:

  • Bethel Grove Bible Church will be hosting a Post Abortion Healing Conference on Saturday from 8:30am to 5:00pm.
  • If anyone is taking Route 366 from Dryden to Ithaca, it may be good to know that Pine Tree Road will be closed tomorrow from 7:00am to 3:30pm.
  • Sample ballots are available from the Tompkins County Board of Elections. The Dryden ballot can be viewed online here (46KB PDF).

The Journal's editorial also includes election information. Today is the last day to postmark an application for an absentee or military ballot, though you can apply in person at the Board of Elections until November 1st and can return them to the Board until November 2nd. Mailed absentee ballots must be postmarked by November 2nd and received by November 9th, while military ballots must be postmarked by November 2nd and received by November 15th.
