To everybody saying that a majority of the population voted to defund the library over some gay books (and that WAS the reason for the defunding, as per every news source I could find, including conservative sources and local sources), these were small, local elections with very small turnout. I know we just went through the midterms, but both votes in question were from before then.
On small elections like this it is easy enough to whip up a small group to vote the way you want and even then it was a split. (Again, see the libertarians voting to defund school districts in New Hampshire.)
They were successful, sure. But there's no way you are going to convince me that vote represented the will of the majority of people in Jamestown.
