THE PRICE OF YOUR VOTE

I have come up with something to say consistently between now and the general election in November for the mayoral election.

I am very serious.

If you are a registered voter in New Haven, your personal voting stock has never been higher in the history of New Haven.

The price of your vote has never been worth more.

The energy and  cost to secure your vote will break records.

It is as if the cure to cancer has been found and Yale New Haven Hospital has announced that the next mayor will receive 5% on every pill dispensed given the number of people who want to be mayor.

It is as if every student coming to Yale will have to pay the next mayor 10% of their salary earned for LIFE.

I believe in the law of economics, you have multiple entities seeking a finite commodity.

Every voter can ask him or herself in the voting booth, which candidate  deserves his or her very pricey vote.

The margins separating the top tier candidates will be very thin in Sept.

If they want to win, you the voter will have to be  wined and dined and persuaded and courted like never before.

Your vote is the platinum ticket to someone's success.

 Do not be bought off.

In fact on the contrary make the candidates pay up !
