Bristol Town Council debate seals Murphy endorsement request
The Bristol town council received and placed on file Murphy’s request for endorsement of a taxpayer backed solution from the March 13 town meeting. The vote occurred with Paul Millemaggi absent due to illness, while Norman Benard’s amendment promised “clear sailing” for Murphy’s position. Council members challenged Murphy’s meaning of “true Bristol fashion,” and the meeting proceeded quickly. Also authorized was discussion with Bristol County Water Company lawyers to settle contract disputes out of court over installation responsibility in the compact portion of Bristol.
