Letter: Right to Farm bylaw vote should be by written ballot
To the editor:
Open Letter to Steven Fors, Westport Town Moderator …
Please have in place a means to submit a written ballot, rather than a show of hands, on the Right to Farm bylaw expansion article at Special Town Meeting. This will be the only way to assure a fair and accurate representation of voter preference.
The highly fraught environment surrounding this issue has made the act of raising one’s hand either for or against Article 3 a very intimidating prospect. In fact, some residents may choose not to attend the meeting rather than to put themselves in that situation.
Thank you.
