What follows is a timeline that is, to the best of our ability and knowledge, a comprehensive representation of Bourne’s voting history regarding marijuana and related policies.
The Bourne Board of Selectmen has approved the creation of an Interim Director of Police Services position in an effort to keep current director of police services Paul J. Shastany
Praise and accolades have come in the wake of the news that former Bourne selectwoman Linda M. Zuern has died. Friends and colleagues have been quick to note the many contributions in public service Ms. Zuern gave to her adopted town as well as the overall Cape Cod community.
Ms. Zuern had been hospitalized in Boston after she contracted the COVID-19 coronavirus. She was placed in a medically induced coma but did not recover from complications of the illness. She was pronounced dead last Friday, July 16.
Bourne Board of Selectmen chairman Peter J. Meier was a colleague of Ms. Zuernâs on the board. Mr. Meier noted Ms. Zuernâs care for the Town of Bourne and the entire Cape Cod region. He said she was âvery active in her church, too, so faith was very important to her.â
