The Warrant Committee for the second year dispensed with an all day meeting in favor of a ~2 hour night meeting much to the relief of the vested parties (i.e. town officials and department heads). The all day meeting was a session in which department heads addressed lingering questions regarding their budgets and made last minute pleas for funding of priority items. As it was televised, it also gave residents an opportunity to hear from department heads first hand on their needs and their proposed funding.
