About a dozen residents Wednesday protested selectmen’s decision to delay town meeting and election to May. The rest of the Governor Wentworth Regional School District’s towns – Brookfield, New Durham, Ossipee, Tuftonboro and Wolfeboro – are voting in March, as in past years.
The protesters, led by Leanne Leonard, a mother of three children in the school district, stood outside the town offices starting at 5 p.m. while Selectmen Michael Cahalane (chair), Chuck Fuller and Tom Hart met to host a Zoom public hearing to explain their decision.
