Council members face backlash over electric vehicle grant rejection
During a recent government meeting, significant discussions emerged regarding the rejection of a $100,000 grant aimed at studying the viability of high-speed electric vehicle charging in the community. One council member expressed disappointment over the decision, labeling it \"shameful\" and criticizing the three council members who voted against the proposal. The grant, which would not have required any financial contribution from the town, was seen as a potential benefit for both travelers and local residents, particularly those living in apartment buildings or commuting from nearby areas.

In addition to the grant discussion, council members addressed the need for a meeting to clarify misinformation circulating within the community. Councilman Bridal emphasized the importance of addressing these misconceptions to foster a more informed public dialogue.

The meeting also included the approval of a consent agenda and the appointment of Srianne No as a youth commissioner to the Community Services Advisory Commission, which received unanimous support from the council members present. The council expressed gratitude for her willingness to serve and acknowledged the committee's recommendation for her appointment.
