Mendon rejects moving budget articles to Australian ballot
Article 2 asked voters whether all budget articles should be adopted by Australian ballot pursuant to 17 V.S.A. §2680(c). Nicole Kesselring moved and Rebecca Claffey seconded; the minutes record the tally as 11 in favor and 20 opposed and the motion failed.

The defeat of Article 2 means the town’s budget articles will be decided at the town meeting floor (voice or show-of-hands methods used at the meeting) rather than by mail or ballot pursuant to the cited statute. The minutes do not record further debate or a roll-call on this item.
