1000-0

It wasn't really a question as to whether or not the high school project would pass Town Meeting...it was a matter of by how much. Close to 1,000 people showed up tonight to vote on the lone warrant article and within 15 minutes, it was over. There were so many people that many of us had to be moved to the music classroom where they piped in the audio.

School Committee Chair Matthew Sheehan, Superintendent Stacy Scott, Friends of a New Dracut High School member Joe Wilkie, and State Rep. Colleen Garry (trough a prepared statement) spoke in favor of the project. Scott was especially good and was very funny as well. Garry's statement was excellent as well (she was at the State House and couldn't be there).

In the end, Moderator Gary McCarthy called for the vote and then, after the yeas, jokingly asked if anyone wanted to vote no. No one did and that was that. The place erupted.

Now we're off to Monday's election...it ain't over yet.

Well done Dracut.
