Thank you to the voters who came to Town Meeting last night! We had an amazing turnout with 97 voters casting ballots for a race for Selectboard. I think moving the meeting to 6pm instead of 7 has had the intended effect of better turnout.
The highlights for those unable to attend:
All articles passed as presented
Both budgets passed as presented
Dee McDowell retains her seat with 54 votes to Ben Morley's strong showing of 37. We appreciate so much having multiple candidates to choose from!
See you all next year!
