A letter to the editor from newly-elected Selectman Mike Runyan.
To The Editor, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the voters of Burlington for their confidence and trust that I will represent the community in a fair and equitable manner. The office of Selectmen comes with many responsibilities, none more important than the ability to listen. I promise to do just that. So many people to thank for their hard work and support but perhaps the most important person is my wife Lisa who has been my encouragement for three years, despite knowing the nature and commitment of a campaign. To my children and family members; thank you for being there for me again. I am very proud to be your father, brother, uncle, son in law and brother in law. I would be remiss not to acknowledge Don Flaherty (Manager…

The Burlington Town Clerks Office held a vote for underage residents at the polls this Saturday.
It was just registered voters casting their votes on Saturday at the Burlington Town Elections. Along with the ballots for voters, the town provided ballots for residents under the voting age to teach youngsters about the democratic process. Town Clerk Amy Warfield said this was the 15th year the town had allowed children to cast a vote for their selection for town leaders. Dr. Edward Weiner of the Burlington Board of Health was running the children poll when Patch checked in on Saturday during the election. He explained the program is a great way to inform youngsters about the voting process and get them interested in democracy. "This is a great way to get children to learn how to vote and get them excited about voting," he said. "When …
