We, the undersigned legal voters of the Town of Essex, hereby call on the Selectboard to:

1) Study current representation imbalances that are inherent in some school and municipal frames;

2) Acknowledge instances of inequitable representation;

3) Work to reform archaic, incomplete and / or inadequate government structures in order to provide, for example, Town-outside-the-Village voters an independent voice in school and municipal matters on par with their Town-inside-the-Village counterparts; and

4) Make this a priority.
