Cape Elizabeth voters re-elected incumbent town councilors Mary Ann Lynch and Paul McKenney Tuesday.

Incumbent Rebecca Millett will also return to her seat on the school board, along with newcomer John Kenneally.

Lynch garnered the most votes in Tuesday’s town council election with 1,670, followed by McKenney with 1,541. Challenger Greg Altznauer received 719.

Millett received the most votes in the school board race with 1,377, followed by Kenneally with 1,348. Newcomer Michael Foley received 1,134 votes.

Cape Elizabeth residents voted against allowing a Washington County racino by a resounding margin, 1,518-949.

Candidates from Cape Elizabeth lined up to greet voters Tuesday morning at one end of the high school hallway, while fundraisers and petitioners sat at tables on the other end.

After making a decision in the voting booth about allowing a racino in Washington County, residents were asked to start thinking about next year’s potential gambling debate.

Harry Hamner, of Evergreen Mountain Enterprises, sat by a petition to bring a casino to Oxford County. He said he supported the cause because of the breaks it would bring to taxpayers.

“I traveled two hours to go to this today,” said Hamner, who came from Rumford.

Cape resident Tom Knight said he voted in support of the racino in Washington County, not because he believes it should be there, but because he believes it should be up to the locals to decide.

“If the people there want it, they should have it,” he said.

Knight said he voted against the research and development bond and the community college bond.

“There are some things that need to get done,” he said, but he thought there were too many requests grouped together.

“It’s way too comprehensive,” he said.

Though Knight acknowledged that he could be more informed about town council and school board candidates, he said he tends to vote for people who try to make government smaller.

Mark Pendarvis said he votes for people he knows and likes for the local races, like Paul McKenney, the current chairman of the town council, who is running for another term. Pendarvis called him “a solid guy” who is balanced and level-headed.

As far as spending money at the state level, Pendarvis said, he’s happy to open his wallet, “if it’s a worthy cause.”

He said he is more skeptical about spending on construction projects. He said he believes costs can always be lowered and more effective work can be done. But, he admitted, “you need to upgrade stuff.”

Stephen Murphy said there was no one issue that was more important than another for him, but he tries to stay informed.

“I just think it’s important to vote,” said Murphy.

Knight agreed. “Otherwise, somebody else will make your decisions for you,” he said.
