The challenge now facing Burlington officials is what to ask residents about the future of the Echo Lake Dam in a November advisory referendum.
Will it be a simple yes or no question, or something more complicated that asks voters to chose particular plans? Will there be more than one question on the ballot?
These questions must be answered within the following month to qualify for the November ballot.
That challenge and the latest plans for the dam and adjacent Echo Park are the top stories in this week’s Standard Press.
The newspaper will be available at local retail outlets on Friday this week and subscribers will receive their copies with Friday’s mail.
