The 311 on the override

In a 3-1-1 vote late Monday evening, the Falmouth Board of Selectmen voted to put the $18.8 million high school override on the ballot. I use 3-1-1 because three of the selectmen (Murphy, Murphy & Mustafa) voted in favor of the move, one (Bumpus) voted no, and one (Flynn) abstained.

News of this has been reported in the Falmouth Bulletin, the Enterprise and Troy Clarkson's blog, so I'll not repeat what's already been written.

However, the Enterprise article was the only one to mention the request I made earlier in the evening, about which I've previously posted.

After saying that the people want "transparency" from town government, Chairman Murphy - ironically - said that our request for an interim audit and full review of the project will delay things and cost too much.
