Crabtree says Town Counsel John Vasapolli has advised the Board of Selectmen not to close the Warrant yet. That means residents who are interested in submitting Articles to be included on the Warrant for this year’s Annual Town Meeting have additional time. And to make things easier and safer during these times where communities are observing the practice of social distancing, Crabtree says anybody who is going to submit Articles doesn’t need to collect signatures. “Just put them in the box,” Crabtree said, referring to the box near the steps of Town Hall where residents are also able to submit envelopes containing payment for taxes.
