Cambridge Beat: Anti-License Wins Village Vote
Cambridge residents vote on liquor licensing in a village election. Anti license candidates win two trustee seats and library directors while the anti license majority tops 55 to 6, though the board remains licensed for a year due to holdover members. The results reflect local sentiment amid regional travel and social notes.
