LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Turnout appalling in mayor’s race

The recent mayoral election in Florence serves as a poignant reminder that every vote matters.
It is appalling that the turnout was so small relative to the number of eligible registered voters.
As Plato said, “The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.”
A time of change is upon us, don’t let someone else make the choices for you.

That is an awesome quote by Plato. I think it fits because as I understand way more people voted in this mayoral primary than previous ones. So, at least many recognized Mayor Willis’ tendencies and voted him out of office.
Good job pointing that out Mr. Listek.
