Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Hanover’s Special Town Meeting opened and closed without fanfare this
evening, but the Annual Town Meeting was another story. With 1,028
residents checked in at 9:00 p.m. at Hanover’s Annual Town Meeting, and
another 333 non-voting residents watching on-line, Town Meeting began the
debate on Article 9, the override budget. After spirited debate and two
attempts to amend the budget, the meeting voted by a clear majority to pass
the override budget as presented by the Advisory Committee. This was in
addition to passing the base budget as recommended by the Advisory
Committee under Article 8.
I am delighted to acknowledge the fact that this was the largest Hanover
Town Meeting attendance since the +/- 1,000 people voted to approve the new
high school in 2008. Congratulations, Hanover voters! A motion to adjourn
the 2024 meeting until Tuesday night, May 7th at 7:00 p.m. was made and
approved when we closed up shop just after 11:00 p.m. on Monday.
Just a reminder that a motion to reconsider any vote on any of the previous
articles may be made on Tuesday night at any time, or any other night if
Town Meeting extends beyond Tuesday. In an effort to avoid the lines at
check-in on Tuesday, residents are reminded that check-in begins at 6:00
p.m. on Tuesday, even though Town Meeting does not begin until 7. Come
early and re-hash the fun we had this evening before settling in for
another night of Annual Town Meeting debate!
