Greetings!
If you are feeling tired and a bit on the fuzzy side this morning, then you were probably at Town Meeting last night!
As of this writing, we do not have any official results on any of the ballot voting from yesterday's polls. Perhaps next year Town Meeting will be over earlier, and we'll be better able to report results in a more timely fashion. Anyone with the official results is urged to email this publication, and the news will be placed in a Special Edition.
Thank you to the many, many residents who turned out for last night's Town Meeting. Thank you for your time, your interest, your to-the-point questions on various issues, and mostly, thank you for remaining for as long as you did! It's not every year that Town Meeting ends early the next day!
