Forgetting to post the annual Town Meeting warrant is also complicating results from last week's election, when voters approved a new charter that dramatically changes town government. After the error forced selectmen to reschedule the annual Town Meeting last week, they said yesterday they also need the Legislature to give its special approval of the election results.

"This action has to take place in order to rectify this," Trindade said. The special Town Meeting starts at 7 p.m. in the high school, followed by the annual Town Meeting. At their board meeting last night, selectmen repeatedly said their gaffe with the warrant was purely accidental. They and Town Administrator Suzanne K. Kenned ...
