Discussion was abbreviated at this meeting that was over around 10 p.m. In a nutshell: the amendment to the town manager’s act passed on a ballot vote, 223 Yes to 141 No. Crazy Paws and other dog-related businesses are now legal thanks to a more definitive bylaw that designates the difference between Veterinarian Hospital and [...]
