Selectboard member Peg Alden introduced a draft resolution supporting the Brattleboro Memorial Hospital Birthing Center, which faces closure. Alden read the resolution to the board and initially moved to adopt it; no second was offered. Board members debated a clause that urged residents to choose Brattleboro Memorial Hospital in order to subsidize the Birthing Center.
Heather Small requested removing the clause because it may impermissibly suggest that residents can always choose the hospital; after discussion, Peg Alden withdrew her initial motion and moved to approve the resolution with clause 3 removed. Rebecca “Bex” Slattery seconded the amended motion and the Selectboard passed it unanimously.
