Ken and Joe, It is very obvious that you and others have put a great deal of effort and time into placing the SIGIMAGE and SIGHPSQL info online, but when I reached the page where I was to vote there was no clear cut way to review the ballot measures before I actually voted. There was a reference to the "SIGIMAGE 2000 Enhancement Ballot" on the web site http://www.csillc.com/sigs/sigimage/EnhproIM00.htm?longdoc=View+Description+ Document, but there was no URL referencing it. Please advise.
