During a four-hour marathon second session of town meeting Tuesday night, six of the total 44 warrant articles were addressed on top of the 11-article consent agenda and three other warrant articles that were voted upon during the first session on Monday. About 300 citizens participated. (See related story).

This left 22 – or half of the total number of warrant articles – still to be addressed on Wednesday night and possibly beyond.

The article calling for removing the town manager from her light plant role is similar in intent to last year’s town meeting-approved article 37 – which is currently in a study committee on Beacon Hill. This year’s Article 40 requested special legislation to amend the town charter to remove the town manager from the operation of the municipal light plant.

The question was called after nearly a 1-1/2-hour discussion, with the article passing on a 236 to 82 vote.

Town meeting continues Wednesday night at 7 p.m. at the high school.
