Why should you vote?

 

Just knowing the names and faces of those behind local decisions positions you as a more informed Shavano Park citizen, which allows you to understand your needs as well as the needs of your community. It also means you can vote more frequently, due to the nature of state and local elections, as well as fill out all sections of the ballot every time a presidential election rolls around, instead of staring at them blankly. Don’t be that guy.

Start attending town hall meetings.  These meetings are outrageously under-attended, but they also happen to be a chance to speak directly to your local government and even the Mayor himself. These meetings are free of cost and held at Shavano Park City Hall.  They typically begin with a short speech from an “elected official” and then an open Q&A, where attendees can ask questions about a piece of legislation or a specific issue they feel should be addressed.
