Select Board closes warrant amid bylaw fight

Select Board closes warrant amid police chief fight. Dighton's Select Board closed a 27-article special town meeting warrant after former Selectman Nancy Gula urged members to strip a "strong police chief" article, arguing it cedes the board's executive authority. Town Administrator Ralph said members can still vote article by article, including striking it, at the October 14 meeting.Dighton News
