Farmers led the way in persuading Town Meeting voters in Hadley to reject a nonbinding resolution declaring a climate emergency.
The nonbinding resolution called on town government departments, businesses, civic groups, and residents "to commit to a climate mobilization effort to bring town-wide carbon emissions to net zero by the year 2050."
Ballots that incorrectly call the Democratic nominee for state representative the incumbent can be counted, a judge from the Massachusetts Appeals Court has ruled.
The Republican nominee, Tracy Post, had asked for an injunction to stop town election officials in Dennis from counting as many as about 2,600 ballots in the First Barnstable District that say inaccurately that Democratic nominee Christopher Flanagan is the current holder of the office, according to The Cape Cod Times.
