Resident Ben Moffatt told the Selectboard he has filed complaints with the Secretary of State's Office and the Town of Williamstown alleging procedural problems with how two major Australian‑ballot articles (the Road Rehab Bond and a requested Forensic Audit) were handled. "He filed a complaint with both the Secretary of States Office and the Town of Williamstown regarding the Town of Williamstown's handling of the two major articles on this year's Australian Ballot," the record states.
Selectboard members said they would consult the appropriate town attorneys, investigate the procedural questions raised, and disclose findings at a future meeting.
