East Machias Voters Act on 43-Article Warrant in 30-Minute Town Meeting
Becomes Latest Town to Adopt Home-Grown Solar Ordinance
By Paul Sylvain
In about the time it takes to brew some coffee and scramble up some eggs and lobster, around 40 East Machias residents met and quickly passed the town’s 43-article annual town meeting warrant June 29.
The meeting moved swiftly toward adjournment some 34 minutes after it started, thanks to consolidating into single votes the bulk of the school, and later town, budgets.
