The petitioners indicated that the purpose of the Article was to bring the Mashpee Water District and the Town <br /> elections together so as to maximize participation in the elections and minimize voter inconvenience. The Mashpee i <br /> Water District Board of Water Commissioners supports these goals. t' <br /> However,the manner in which Article 21 was worded creates a great number of problems,financial and otherwise,for the <br /> Town and the Water District. Several legal opinions have been rendered by regular Counsel, Special Counsel, and Bond <br /> Counsel to the Board of Selectmen and the Mashpee Water District on these issues. <br /> The Mashpee Water District is seeking legislation to change its election dates in order to achieve the goal of streamlining <br /> the elections. However,in order to prevent the many issues and financial problems associated with Article 21,this article <br /> would rescind that vote,and express the Town's support of the Mashpee Water District's efforts to change the election <br /> date. <br /> Print Name Legibly' Signature Print Street Address <br /> - )7 Q LIZ <br /> 3 �Z /26 (Zh/ as wig c�,' <br /> b �?/ � �,p <br /> ✓ r�. s-ypr g.?
