You know you're in Orange County when ...
Williamstown Town Moderator Winston Chambers kicked off town meeting by informing residents that there were two special boxes - one for an exit poll on the school budget and the other for the "Bob Doyle poll."
With the school budget and all other school-related requests with financial implications being voted by Australian ballot for the first time this year, school directors had an easy time of it this morning.
It took less than 20 minutes to breeze through the school portion of town meeting and most of that time was spent listening to Town Clerk Debbie Palmer read the warning and school directors field questions about the shift to the day-long voting system that has long been used to settle local elections.
Talk turned to municipal matters at 10:20 a.m.
It took barely 13 minutes for Williamstown voters to approve more than $1.5 million in municipal spending during their open town meeting today.
Voters easily approved a $761,559 general fund budget and overwhelmingly rejected an attempt to trim $76,592 from the $776,592 highway fund budget.
