Betty Fulton Wins Select Board

The big Orange election news last night was Betty Fulton's win over Select Board Chairman Henry Minasian. Betty got 104 votes over Henry's 44.  She also won an uncontested election for Trustee of Trust Funds--a position she'll have to give up for her Select Board post. Congratulations, Betty.

In the only other contested election, Scott Sanborn beat Frank Giner for Road Agent; the vote was 100 to 37.

The other elections were uncontested. Sophie Seace becomes our new Town Clerk. 

Meanwhile, voters rejected a proposed $24 million bond for the Macoma Valley School District's renovation project. The plan required 60% approval, but only 56% voted yes.
