I wonder what would happen if the Annual Town Meetings were held on a Saturday. Many work out of town and are too late/tired to attend a week night meeting. And some have to get up early to leave for work the next day and can't comfortably stay until Midnight or even later. Wouldn't this eliminate those late night votes by minority factions that pass items that are on their agenda?
My guess is that the Tuesday night meeting in March or thereabouts is mandated by some State law. What would it take to change or amend that law to allow for better representation at Annual Town Meetings?
