Considering that it’s one of the smaller towns in the state, why does it seem lately that so much weird news comes out of Richmond?
Voting is usually a multiple-choice experience, but several spots on Richmond ballots were a fill-in-the-blank test, and in Charlestown a former Town Council president who wasn’t running for anything this year was surprised to learn she had won a seat on the Chariho School Committee.
Deborah A. Carney, who served from 2002 to 2006 on the Charlestown council, some as president, got unofficial word yesterday that about 13 voters had written her name where there were no names on the ballot for Chariho School Committee Town of Charlestown.
