JACKSON â About 90 citizens turned out for Jacksonâs town meeting last Saturday morning. It was held under a tent behind the Whitney Center, and most doffed their masks.
Moderator Willis Kelley, presided, along with selectmen Dick Bennett (at his last meeting; he chose not to run), Barbara Campbell and John Allen, and town counsel Peter Malia of Hastings Malia of Fryeburg, Maine.
Most of the 11 warrant articles were dealt with quickly. All passed.
Receiving the most discussion was Article 9, petitioned by selectmen to prohibit fireworks without a permit. The most controversial was Article 10, to rename the town for geologist Jackson, was petitioned by Assistant Town Moderator Jerry Dougherty.
