Wareham plastic-bag reduction article 'passed pretty overwhelmingly,' announced at Good Shepherd service
Summary
A presenter at Good Shepherd church told the congregation on Sunday that a 'plastic bag reduction' article at the recent Wareham Town Meeting "passed pretty overwhelmingly," but the announcement did not include a vote tally or the ordinance text.
A presenter at Good Shepherd church announced on Sunday that a "plastic bag reduction" article at the recent Wareham Town Meeting "passed pretty overwhelmingly," but provided no formal vote totals or ordinance text.
The presenter thanked those who attended the Wareham Town Meeting on Monday night and said, "The plastic bag reduction article actually passed pretty overwhelmingly." The church announcement also invited parishioners to sign a "Good and Green" pledge and noted 24 donated glass mugs for coffee hour.
The brief announcement did not include the motion language, the name of the motion's mover or seconder, or a vote tally. The transcript of the service contains only the presenter’s summary; it does not quote minutes or provide a link to the town's official records. The article therefore records the outcome as reported in the service but notes that the exact vote count and the ordinance text were not specified.
For verification of the final text, vote tally and any effective date, consult the official Wareham Town Meeting minutes or the town clerk’s records.
