HALIFAX- A remarkably upbeat Town Meeting greeted voters and other participants and resulted in passage of all 27 articles as written with the exception of one amendment, due to a printing error. 
Rep. John Gannon took the stage prior to the official opening of the meeting to discuss relevant legislative issues.  Regarding education, Gannon explained the importance of “weighting” students, including factors such as poverty and population density in determining the impact on local taxes.
