BAR HARBOR It took just over an hour to pass all but one article on the warrant for the Tremont annual Town Meeting that was held in the Mount Desert Island High School parking lot on Wednesday night.
Town Clerk Katie Dandurand reported 36 voters of the towns approximately 1,200 checked in to the meeting. Some articles passed with as few as 14 votes cast; almost all of them were a unanimous vote in favor.
Members of the Board of Selectmen and Tremont School Committee were seated inside a tent at the front of the parking lot during the meeting and cast their votes from there.
Lessons learned in a pandemic year January 6, 2021 on News
MOUNT DESERT ISLAND It started out like any other year, but 2020 took a big turn for what some would consider the worst year in recent history.
While a global pandemic slowed our lives to a mere tick tock of the clock, the killing of a Black man in Minneapolis incited protests, and more people turned out to vote than in any other presidential election.
Many watched the world go by from their living rooms or chose to binge watch whatever their favorite streaming platform offered. Others took up hobbies like baking bread or cooking what could no longer be ordered from their favorite restaurant.
