Bill > S20

This bill allows the city known as the town of Greenfield to hold a special election on Tuesday, April 14, 2015, to decide whether to create a municipal telecommunications system, which is a local government-owned network for providing communication services like internet or phone. The bill specifies that polling places must be open from 7:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. and that public notice of the election must be posted and published in a local newspaper at least 14 days beforehand, while all other election timelines remain in effect. The town clerk will be responsible for printing the question "Shall the city known as the town of Greenfield establish a municipal telecommunications system?" on the ballot, followed by a summary prepared by the town counsel, and if a majority of voters approve, the town will be authorized to establish this system.
