NH GRAFTON — Grafton's annual town meeting deliberation session sent 20 warrant articles to March 10 voting. The assembly approved $316,758 for highway truck purchase and $100,000 each for paving and equipment capital reserves, redirecting spending away from fire apparatus and library facilities toward highway infrastructure. Road Agent Sam Faulkner advocated for the truck, citing excessive employee hours with single-truck operations.
The assembly debated Article 20, a directive to study potential Mascoma Valley Regional School District withdrawal, with opponents citing an $8 million bond liability and proponents citing high tax rates. The assembly also sent Article 15, changing police chief from elected to appointed, and Article 17, reducing checklist supervisor terms from 6 to 3 years, to the March 10 ballot. ===BRIEF===
