Share article

GREENSBORO – Voters at Greensboro’s special town meeting, Tuesday evening, June 30 rejected the petitioned articles to move financial and public questions to Australian balloting.

With a paper ballot vote of 101 to 77, voters said no to Article 1: Shall the Town of Greensboro adopt all budget articles by Australian ballot?

Quite a few voters had left before voting on the second question began by paper ballot. That vote was 85 against and 59 in favor. Even fewer returned to their seats to hear the result of the vote on Article 2: Shall the Town of Greensboro vote on all public questions by Australian ballot? 

The meeting quickly adjourned after that, near 9:30 p.m.

Town Health Officer Karl Stein announced Highland Center for the Arts will be open Wednesday and Thursday this week as a cooling shelter.

Further details from the meeting will be available in next week’s issue of The Hardwick Gazette.
