Attendance record of TM members corrected by League

AMHERST - The Town Meeting attendance record of several members was reported incorrectly in material prepared by the League of Women Voters of Amherst and published in this week's Amherst Bulletin.

The record is two numbers. The first indicates the number of Town Meeting sessions a member attended from April 2002 until the present. The second number is the total of Town Meeting sessions they were eligible to attend during that time period.

The corrected attendance records, as provided by the League, is as follows:

Precinct 5, Franklin Wells, 26/32;
Precinct 7, Jane Price, 25/32;

Precinct 8, Pamela Crotty, 21/25,
Precinct 8, Mary Streeter, 25/25.
