Tisbury’s newest select board member is Christina Colarusso, the winner — by just three votes — of Tuesday’s three-way race for select board.
The fate of the regional high school budget and an open seat on the Tisbury select board will be decided today as voters in Aquinnah head to their annual town meeting and Tisbury holds its annual town election.
Voting takes place from noon to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, May 9, at the town’s emergency services facility on Spring street.
Incumbent Abbe Burt is being challenged for the second time this year by Christina Colarusso, with first-time candidate MacAleer Schilcher making it a three-way race.
Abbe Burt and Christina Colarusso will once more compete in the Tisbury select board race, with political newcomer MacAleer Schilcher also filing papers for the seat formerly held by Larry Gomez.
Tisbury voters elected a new select board member and gave a final, resounding stamp of approval to the bill to create a Martha’s Vineyard Housing Bank in a quiet town election Tuesday that saw low turnout. Just 552 of the town’s 3,710 voters cast ballots.
