April 13, 2021 Preliminary Results

Preliminary results of yesterday’s Town/Village votes:

Reconsideration on merger failed by 26 votes. The numbers were Yes: 4199 to No: 4225. There were 114 blank votes.

The Non-binding Advisory question regarding separation passed with just under 76% of the vote. The numbers were Yes: 2689 to No: 709. There were 149 blank votes.

With much uncertainty about what the future holds for our community, I fully expect some interesting discussions and difficult decisions on the horizon. While emotions and tensions are high, please stay engaged and focused as your Selectboard will need your input on how to move forward.
