RIVERHEAD, N.Y. (AP) - Cheers? Yes. Jeers? Not so much.
Officials in the New York town of Riverhead, in eastern Long Island, have adopted a code of public behavior for town hall meetings that bans booing.
Newsday reports the Riverhead Town Board voted 4-1 to approve the proposal earlier this week. Councilman James Wooten was the lone dissenter.
The town council deleted a measure that also would have banned applause.
There are no penalties for violators.
