Weston votes for hunting deer

The May 15 annual town meeting (ATM) warrant article to ban hunting in Weston failed by a resounding vote of about 75% to 25%.

Great report last night from Chris Kaldy of the Lyme Disease Study Committee to the Board of Selectmen.  Selectmen voted to change their mission to include deer management for purposes of improving public safety (we are averaging 46 deer/vehicle collisions a year), reducing the ecological damage to the forests caused by the current over grazing by deer, as well as reducing Lyme disease.
