Also, The Wednesday, June 14, 2006 edition of The Winchester Star has good coverage of the races.

I must say that I was somewhat surprised that there are only two competitive races on the ballot.

But, all in all the change to a 4-Ward system is good for the City of Winchester. Different areas of the city have different needs and a 4-Ward system will do a better job of representing those areas.
