Earlier today, I called Selectman Mary Pat Flynn and asked her to vote to put the high school renovation override on the May 20 ballot so the taxpayers can have a say.
Readers may recall that after town meeting voted to put this on the ballot it was revealed that a supermajority - 4 of the 5 selectmen - were needed to put it on the ballot; the original 3-1-1 vote was not enough.
When I asked if I could pin her down on how she'd vote tomorrow, she willingly shared her thoughts about how she'll vote and the logic behind her decision.
I wish I could tell you how she'll vote, but in all honestly, I don't know; I simply do not have enough confidence in what I heard to tell you.
I can tell you this: If I were a selectman, things would be different.
And there would be no doubt about how I would vote in this situation.
