Norton voters say no to island purchase
Approximately 200 voters sat and listened to the sound of the voting machine tallying votes in the Norton Middle School auditorium Thursday night. Would voters agree with the Friends of Pheeny’s Island to purchase Pheeny’s Island and claim the 7-acre property by eminent domain?
Moderator William Gouveia banged his gavel.
“Article 22 fails,” Gouveia said.
The answer was no.
