LWV Supports Five Warrant Articles at Special Town Meeting

The League of Women Voters of Sudbury supports five articles on the Dec. 1 Special Town Meeting warrant, based on local, state and national LWV positions.

The League urges Sudbury voters to attend Town Meeting and participate as citizen legislators. Special Town Meeting starts Monday, Dec. 1, at 7 p.m. in the auditorium at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School. Note the earlier start time, based on a vote at May’s Town Meeting. 

League members voted to support these specific articles at the special Town Meeting: Articles 1 and 2, for roof replacement and repair at Haynes and Nixon elementary schools; and Articles 3, 4, and 5, to install solar energy generating facilities in the parking lots at Curtis Middle School, the police station, and Haskell Field.

The League opposes Article 9, a citizens’ petition to dedicate 1% of property tax revenues for the next 10 years to a fund to build sidewalks. While the Sudbury League strongly supports the construction of walkways in town, it believes that should be done within normal budgeting processes.

The League does not have positions that cover the other warrant articles so cannot take a stand on those articles.

The warrant for Special Town Meeting has been mailed to all households; it is also available here.

Additional information on Town Meeting is available here and on the town website.
