Legal costs to defend library petition count pile up for town

Legal costs to defend library petition count pile up for town >Published: 7/6/2021 7:58:46 PM AMHERST Amherst spent more than $11,000 on legal expenses in April to protect the process of verifying signatures on a failed petition to have the Jones Library expansion and renovation project brought to a townwide referendum vote, according to those leading the petition effort. Supporters of the voter-veto petition, which fell 22 signatures short of getting the necessary 5% of registered voters for reconsideration of the $36.3 million project, learned of the legal fees charged by KP Law of Boston through a public records request, and argue that town money is being spent to suppress voters’ rights.
