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