Mystery Ballot Box Opened!


Shortly after Kathie DeNobriga became mayor of Pine Lake, she found this locked ballot box in a storeroom..



No one seemed to know how old the box was, or why it was locked, or how it had come to be there.

On Monday night, just before the City Council convened for a meeting, Kathie had the lock cut. City employee Matt Wells wielded the implement of destruction.


What was inside? Materials from a 1993 election.



Before the council meeting started, Kathie announced the start of a season of remembrances in celebration of Pine Lake's 75th anniversary. That's right; we're 75 years old!

So...what exactly was in the box?

Forms from that 1993 election. There were no filled-out ballots. That would have been exciting.
