A judge in Orleans Superior Court has ruled on a court case that stems from a controversial town meeting in Lowell in 2012. At that meeting, an item on the warning asked voters to express opposition to the wind energy project in town. How that item was treated at the floor meeting and later by the Select board became the subject of the lawsuit.
Frank Bryan is an author of several books on town meeting and a professor emeritus at UVM. He spoke with Vermont Edition about the heart of the issue in this case and how it affects the spirit and process of Town meetings to come.
