Hull Select Board approves transmittal of Article 40 home-rule petition with split votes on accompanying support letter. Chair Brian S. McCarthy oversaw votes to authorize Town Counsel to transmit the citizens' petition, approved 4-1, followed by a 3-2 vote to prepare a separate letter and a second 3-2 vote declaring the Board's support for the measure.
