Amherst’s progressive reputation on trial at stormy Board of Registrars meeting
Updated May 12, 2021;
AMHERST – The town’s progressive reputation ended up on trial during a stormy Board of Registrars meeting Monday, when board member Demetria Shabazz said she may resign, accusing the municipality of voter “disenfranchisement’ involving more than 100 rejected signatures on a citizens petition related to Jones Library.
Shabazz accused the town’s attorney, Gregg Corbo of KP law of using “scare tactics,” after he spoke against her suggestion that would involve examining the rejected signatures.
Corbo said her idea could lead to litigation.
The May 10 BOR meeting reviewed an open meeting law complaint filed against the board involving an April 21 meeting.

Amherst board delays action on Jone Library petition after lawyer accuse of conflict of interest
Updated May 07, 2021;
AMHERST The Board of Registrars on Friday deferred action on a petition challenging the $36.3 million Jones Library renovation project after its lawyer was accused of a conflict of interest.
The meeting was convened to discuss whether the town clerk’s office improperly rejected signatures on a petition to force a townwide vote on the project. The clerk’s office ruled the petitioners were 22 valid signatures short of the necessary 864. The petitions said they submitted more than 1,000 signatures.
The Town Council approved borrowing for the library project in April. The town charter allows residents to put the issue to a townwide vote if 5% of registered voters sign a petition requesting it.
