Another big year for the Amherst Citizens Association voter guide – 82% success on the ballot with one article in a tie vote. We would assume a recount on that one (this is an article for a lease-purchase of a fire truck. We opposed it)
But the big item for the day – the taxpayers of Amherst will get their $390,000 back!
Article 27. – (LUCT Funding for Recreation Land Purchase)
Yes: 912
No: 1164
Also, the conservation giveaway articles both failed:
Article 35 – (Amherst Conservation – expend funds to qualified organizations)
Yes: 905
No: 1128
Article 36 – (Amherst Conservation – expend funds for land outside Amherst)
Yes: 726
No: 1310
Turnout: 25%
