Winchester Town Meeting

Last Thursday, I got to cover the town meeting in Winchester, MA for the local paper. It was fascinating to see this form of representative democracy in action. It was a great New England scene -- from the town moderator who seemed to know a few hundred people's names to the crowd of meeting members intoning "yay" or "nay" to cast their votes. 

When the evening was over, the town got a new budget, fire engine and ladder truck, and funding for an elementary school renovation. Here's the story.
