The Westport Representative Town Meeting (RTM) tonight initially by unanimous vote—and then with one member opposed—approved an appropriation of $150,000 to help clear up a backlog of building permits that led the town to seek a one-year postponement in implementing its controversial 2003 property assessment.

There was no objection to his request by his fellow members, who had to approve a change of vote after the fact. That changed the vote to 31-1 for approval.
Gruss Gott, Helmut.
