The Fourth of July Committee’s proposal to bring the annual carnival this year back to the Town Common area failed this week following a 3-1 vote by the Board of Appeals. The board voted 3-1 with one abstention killing any plans for bringing the annual event back to where it all began. The three members to vote yes were Charles Boyle, Anthony Barletta and Thomas Siracusa. Board of Appeals member Daniel Veerman voted in the no, while Ed Loud abstained due to a conflict of interest.
