Town Meeting ends in one night – on to the Election!

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Hanover Town Meeting began and finished in one night Monday night, May 7th.
A healthy debate of the $60 million budget was the biggest ticket of the
night, and rousing support for the hard-working Build-the-Boards Committee
ended with a $110,000 appropriation for that venture.

I as your Town Clerk was humbled and thankful for your support of my salary
raise as requested under an amendment to Article 7, and for your “no” vote
on the recommendation to make my position appointed this year. The debate
around that issue as we strive to make our government more effective will
surely continue, and I for one, as a student of government, will welcome
that dialogue. I’ll be delighted to partner with our new Town Manager, Joe
Colangelo, as his first weeks and months in office unfold, towards those
ends.

We bought police cruisers, dump trucks, and generators, amended our
by-laws, and revised the Town Manager Act – all under the expert direction
and skilled management of our Town Moderator, Doug Thomson. It was a busy
and productive evening, and we adjourned until the Annual Town Election on
Saturday, May 12th. The polls will be open from 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.; see
you then!
