The Walpole Board of Selectmen have appointed an ad hoc committee of Cindy Westover, Chair, Dale Hubbard, Tara Sad and Chuck Bingaman to review
Walpole Town Meeting procedures and plans and to make suggestions for making them more effective. The committee is particularly interested in looking at ways to get more citizens actively interested in the Town Meeting and to get more citizens to attend the meeting and participate directly. Ending the in-person Town Meeting altogether and simply deciding all issues by paper ballot, as some towns have done, is an alternative that the committee may also discuss. Walpolean readers are invited to send ideas, concerns, and suggestions for the committee to consider to Cindy at 756-3661 or westovr@verizon.net by December 8. Chuck Bingaman, Editor.
