The referendum vote coming up in North Yarmouth should be rejected. Please vote “no” March 15, and here’s why: Most of the publicity, talk and yard signs are about sprawl, but sprawl is not actually on the ballot! The count of annual permits is on the ballot. Sprawl means “spreading out over a large area in an untidy or irregular way.” Therefore, controlled growth in our plan-defined Village Center is the exact opposite of sprawl. So if your basic instinct is to control or prevent sprawl, then logically, you would vote “no.” ~ John K. Fulton, North Yarmouth
