BOW — An overflow crowd of voters flooded the Bow High School auditorium Thursday night and rejected the town’s proposed $6.8 million proposal for a new public safety building.
The 425-257 no vote to Article 3 on the town warrant came one year after a $7.7 million proposal for the same building fell 48 votes short of a two-thirds majority at the 2013 Bow Town Meeting.
One resident who voted against the article was Van Mosher, who said Bow offered one of the lowest tax rates in the state when he moved to town in 1986. The town is now among the highest in New Hampshire, he added.
