Since the bond votes failed, what next?
March 19, 2008 Press Release: The Waitsfield Selectboard will be convening a new citizen task force to explore the basis of the negative votes, consider alternatives, and make recommendations to the Selectboard. “Some people may have voted no because they felt they needed more information,” said Kate Williams, one of the two new members elected to the Selectboard. Others who attended the Selectboard’s meeting on March 17 offered additional reasons that were heard to be behind the negative votes. Although almost 400 people voted in favor of the water project, 442 voted against–a difference of 44 votes. Phase 1 of the wastewater project received 336 positive votes; however, 484 voted in the negative, failing by 148 votes. Phase 2 of the wastewater project actually passed with 297 voting in favor and 254 voting against. “The numbers show there is reasonable support for the projects, but we need to better understand why people voted no before we decide what to do next,” said Charles Hosfo
