Town meeting reforms urged after costly sewer plan defeat
An editorial argues last week’s special town meeting showed the need for new controls to govern bond issues. It notes $715,000 principal plus interest loomed, voters remained in the dark on financing and streets, and the margin of defeat was narrow. The piece contends the planned system of all day paper ballots and adjourned meetings will force clearer proposals and better public information. It urges planning for future high cost projects and seeks a more informed electorate.
