‘Voter veto’ maneuver launched to challenge Jones Library approval Jones Library in Amherst STAFF FILE PHOTO/KEN HEIDEL Published: 4/9/2021 5:12:44 PM AMHERST A campaign to use the “voter veto” provision of the town charter to force the Town Council to reconsider its support for the Jones Library expansion and renovation project which could culminate in a townwide referendum is underway. Vincent O’Connor of Summer Street picked up forms Tuesday at the town clerk’s office at Town Hall, a day after the Town Council voted 10-2, with one abstention, to borrow $15.75 million to support the $36.3 million project. The council also approved a memorandum of agreement related to the project between Town Manager Paul Bockelman and the elected library trustees, and agreed to use $1 million from the town’s Community Preservation Act account for the library’s special collections room.
