School Committee recount scheduled

Apr 21, 2010

The School Committee will find out who its newest member is on Saturday, April 24. A recount of votes is scheduled for 9 a.m.

Candidate Lynne Burroughs requested a recount of all precincts after Rhonda Veugen won the seat by just ten votes in the April 6 election. Burroughs returned all necessary petitions last week, and the date for the recount was set on Tuesday.

The ballots will be hand-counted in each individual precinct, Town Clerk Mary Ann Silva said.

Burroughs and Veugen are vying for the seat vacated by Robert Brousseau, who did not seek re-election.
