At Webster’s town meeting, residents will vote on whether the town should seek the return of two parcels illegally sold around the Walker Pond.

The parcels were purchased by former selectman and town treasurer Bruce Johnson in October 2019 for $7,000 without open competitive bidding, violating both state law and town policy.

Budget: This year’s operating budget is set at $1.82 million, reflecting an 11.4% increase from the previous year.

Noteworthy articles: On the warrant is also the allocation of nearly $47,000 for the purchase of a new police cruiser to replace the old 2016 model the department is currently using

When and where: The town meeting will be held on March 16 at the Grange Hall at 10 a.m.
