Interesting that the town voters voted against the plan to bring the town in compliance. If it is a matter of established State law why would the town's people even get a vote?

The state mandated the outcome. The town came up with a plan to meet that outcome. The voters should be voting on the plan, not the outcome. Or perhaps the town needed to raise funds by raising property tax. That's something that voters would need to approve.

But some people will try and be indignant and vote no regardless of the plan to try and defy the state.
