The Weston Town Election is Saturday, May 8. If you are registered and have not already voted by mail, you can vote in person at Town Hall from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday.
In addition to several elected positions on the ballot, there is a Ballot Question 1: Proposition 2-and-a-half Debt Exclusion, explained here in layperson’s terms. And that, in turn, raises some larger issues about the current relevance of Proposition 2-and-a-half in Weston.
Ballot Question 1 is not really about the specific projects mentioned in the warrant book, but about Weston’s debt and disappearing spending constraints. You can vote “no” on Question 1 and still vote “yes” at Town Meeting to support the three projects.
