Nearly 150 Jonesporters gathered in their high school gym on March 11 and, in under three hours, kept their budget under $1 million, approved a comprehensive plan, dedicated a future marine site to working waterfront, returned their top selectman to office, and voted two new faces onto the town and CSD school boards. In addition to the usual motions and votes, the session exhibited a bit of campaigning, fears of sanctuary city status, and opinions on a future fish farm. There were no changes to suggested money items in the municipal budget.
