Westerly council decides not to rush new bonding proposals onto March 2 state ballot


WESTERLY — Saying they needed more information before they could ask voters to support borrowing for sewer-system upgrades, school repairs, and road work, the Town Council has quashed plans to include the projects on the ballot for the upcoming March 2 statewide election.
On Monday, the Town Council considered adding questions on borrowing up to $26 million for the local projects to the ballot, which will ask state voters to approve seven bond issues totaling $400 million for projects ranging from higher education, state beaches, recreational facilities, transportation, early childhood care and industrial infrastructure. Gov. Gina Raimondo certified seven bond issues when she signed the 2021 fiscal year budget on Dec. 18.
