Disputed Corinth vote spurs town meeting
Bangor Daily News, May 1, 2007

(excerpts) Controversy over a vote at this year's annual town meeting has caused the Board of Selectmen to call a special town meeting later this month to reconsider the previous vote.

At last month's annual meeting, residents voted 66-40 in favor of the town buying the former Corinth Products Co. Inc. building and associated land at 10 Exeter Road for $225,000.

A group of residents recently presented the town with a petition to reconsider the previous annual town meeting vote.

"Some of them would just like to have another vote," Town Manager Donald Strout said Monday. He added that there is concern that there wasn't enough research done, and that some residents who go south for the winter weren't at the annual meeting.
