Holmes objection overruled in $27 million sewer expansion approval

The Town Council approved a 27 million dollar sewer expansion amid Democratic Councilman E Hugh Holmes objections over contracting authority to the Town Administrator. Holmes proposed amending power to the Capital Projects Committee but was defeated by Republicans. Councilman James Sullivan and Town Solicitor Albert Nutini argued the amendment violates the charter and could delay bonds and notes approvals. The vote proceeds despite calls of unfair timing and potential charter changes.
