This was the start of night two of the annual town meeting (ATM) – more residents did show up, but it was still a much smaller crowd than night one. I ballparked the attendance on night one at about 900.

Dear Pete:
Cultural Alliance matching grant is $25k — not $2 million.
Not good for taxes.
I think we are asking too much for the override. May not pass.
Best,
Michael Taylor

Thanks Mike. Bad proofing by me. Already corrected.

How does the voting on override items go? Do we get to vote on each item or only on one huge lump sum? It would make sense to me that we vote on each item.
