Alburgh residents voted by drive-thru on the school budget in order to keep poll workers and voters safe during COVID-19 pandemic.

This week, The Islander staff writer Mike Donoghue spoke with VPR about his recent article covering the recently-passed Alburgh school budget. Voters there cast their ballots via a drive-thru system. Donoghue also discussed several towns' plans for upcoming July Fourth celebrations and their accommodations for COVID-19 social distancing.
