In their own words, via the Town

Montague does not publish a description of this member on its council pages, or this record has not found one.

This council rarely calls recorded votes, so individual positions are only on the record where one was demanded. Under the Municipal Act that is the council's choice, not an omission in this record.

Substantive motions moved (showing the 40 most recent of 78)
