49 articles, 1 night = Town Meeting in Marblehead
Spending was approved, peace, diversity, and snow shoveling were denied under the big top
Wicked Local
Marblehead Town Meeting cleared 49 articles in three hours flat Monday, passing a $103 million budget with no discussion and voting down staggered elections, peace and quiet and, once again, a ban on gas-powered leaf blowers.
Here are the highlights:
Article 15 generated the first serious discussion. Town Meeting approved spending $314,000 on storm-drainage construction but former Waldron Street resident Toby Reiley warned residents that “if not this year then next year” they need to up the ante. He pointed to an abandoned storm drain in his old neighborhood that causes flooding issues. He said the town needs to start fully funding its infrastructure issues.

First Selectman Timothy Griswold said he believes the resolution declaring racism a public health crisis is written in a way that implies Old Lyme is inherently racist.Josh LaBella / Hearst Connecticut Media
OLD LYME Almost a year has passed since the death of George Floyd unleashed a new wave of racial unrest on the nation and, with more recent police shootings, the conversation about racial equity has continued in all levels of society.
In Old Lyme, though, there is some reticence to have that conversation as a town government. Since August, Selectwoman Mary Jo Nosal, a Democrat, has been trying to put a resolution on the Board of Selectmen’s agenda that would declare racism a public health crisis.
