Sandwich Voters Ban Pot Shops, Choose Miller and George for Selectmen

SANDWICH – Voters in Sandwich chose Michael Miller and Robert George to fill two available seats on the Board of Selectmen in yesterday’s town election.

Miller, the former police chief in town, and George came out victorious in a crowded six-candidate field. They defeated William Burbank, Shame Hoctor, James Pierce, and Benjamin Westgate.

Incumbents Sean Rausch and James Dever were returned to the school committee on three-year terms. Steven Moynihan defeated Nancy Crossman for a two-year seat vacated by Pierce.

Voters also approved a ban on retail marijuana shops and narrowly rejected additional funding for road repairs.

They also passed a non-binding resolution directing town government to ask Gov. Charlie Baker to support the expedited transfer of spent fuel at the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station to dry cask storage. The ballot question, spearheaded by the Cape Downwinders, also appears in other towns across the region.
