[POLL] Should Norton Keep Town Meeting Format?
Questioning of Norton has outgrown current form of government.
In a recent article on Boston.com, Town Moderator Bill Gouveia said that Norton has outgrown the Town Meeting form of governance.
Approximately 100 town residents showed up at May 14 to approve a $45 million budget. Gouveia said that there is only a large turnout when there is something interesting on the warrant, such as June 7, 2011 when over 1,600 voters passed the school building project.
Do you think it's time for a new form of government in town?
