Pre-Town Meeting and Candidates Night June 3
Truro has no contested races in this year’s town election. Still, the slate of new officials joining prominent boards and committees include John Dundas, who will replace Jan Worthington on the select board. Two school committee candidates, Vita Rose Richter and Edwige Yingling, will take the two seats now filled by long-time school committee members Michelle Jarusiewicz and Dennis Clark.
Ellery Althaus, who grew up in Truro and co-owns the Salty Market, will replace Peter Herridge on the planning board. Herridge was censured by the select board last year for making disparaging and false comments about town staff and the developer of the Cloverleaf affordable housing project.
Provincetown native Mara Glatzel will replace Carl Brotman on the housing authority.
On June 3 at 5:30 p.m., the select board and finance committee members will go over the town meeting warrant, with a total of 44 articles. The town meeting itself will be held outdoors at the Truro Central School ballfield on Saturday, June 26, beginning at 10 a.m. To shorten what is expected to be a long meeting, voters are encouraged to learn as much as possible about the articles before meeting day.
Meet the candidates and listen to officials explain the articles on June 3. The meeting is virtual. Go to truro-ma.gov and click on the link “Select Board with Finance Committee and Charter Review Committee Public Hearing.”
The town election is June 29, with the polls open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Truro Community Center. You can also vote by mail. Applications for mail-in voting are available on the town’s website, truro-ma.gov. Click on the town clerk/treasurer/collector page. —K.C. Myers
