Exactly! 
This reminds me of the town meeting I attended Monday night. Out of 11,000 registered voters, only 61 people showed up to vote on how to spend the taxpayer's money.
From The Webster Times:
“At the meeting’s conclusion, Kennan came forward, saying that since it was his last town meeting as acting Town Administrator, he wished to thank the town employees and voters, but warned if the town wanted their form of government to “survive,” more action and participation was needed from the public.
Kennan said out of Webster’s 11,000 registered voters, only 61 were present at the meeting.
“Sixty-one people should not be deciding [a multi-million dollar] budget,” Kennan said.
“I wish you all well.” Kennan closed.
His remarks roused thunderous applause before the
meeting was adjourned.

One last word of farewell, Dear Master and Mistress.
Whenever you visit my grave,
say to yourselves with regret
but also with happiness in your hearts
at the remembrance of my long happy life with you:
"Here lies one who loved us and whom we loved."
No matter how deep my sleep I shall hear you,
and not all the power of death
can keep my spirit
from wagging a grateful tail.
