WINCHESTER - At a special meeting last week, the Winchester Town Board decided officially not to have a referendum on the ballot that would have asked voters in Winchester their opinion on allowing ATVs and UTVs to operate on town and county roads in the area. The reason the referendum won’t be on the ballots is that a change in state law went into effect last year, stated that an advisory referendum is no longer allowed for something like that issue. The short notice on the special meeting was due to a deadline of the 26th to have something places on a referendum ballot at the state level. Town Supervisor John Grimmer said the board has gotten feedback from a number of sources and there will be further discussion on the matter.
