Measure to Pay for Turbine Removal Fails

Nearly 41 percent of registered voters turned out for Tuesday’s election, according to the Cape Cod Times.

Question number 2 would have approved a proposition two and a half override to pay for removing the turbines, repaying grants received to build them and other costs related to halting turbine operation.

The Cape Cod Times reports that 6,001 residents cast votes against Question 2 and 2,940 residents voted in favor of funding turbine removal.

Incumbent Mary Pat Flynn and Rebecca Moffitt won the two available seats on the Board of Selectmen beating out Sheryl Kozens-Long, Marc Finneran and David Moriarty.

Judith Fenwick, Samuel Patterson Jr. and Leah Palmer won the three open seats on the school committee.
