Is Maginn the right choice

I am posting this letter written by Kevin Macomber about the new republican party chairman in Massachusetts, Robert Maginn. It seems he donated to Deval Patrick's campaign and has donated to the likes of Chuck Schumer.

Ball fields, wood turtles and government control

Don't ever underestimate the power of a wood turtle, although with all apologies to those who like wood turtles, I am not sure it was the wood turtle who made the difference. Last night at the special town meeting in Sturbridge, Article 48 was defeated by ten votes.

Update on Article 52

I am going to share some link related to Article 52 sent to me by Linda Cocalis from the Sturbridge Board of health. Even though I am still not happy about the bag fees for the landfill, I guess I can forgive her now.

Criteria 3 includes schools and must be applied to regioanl schools as well

Article 52: Vote No

I have been receiving more information on Article 52 on the special town meeting warrant for tomorrow night (December 5, 2011, 7:00 PM at Tantasqua High School). I wish I had know about this earlier so we could mobilize the forces, heck if the four Sturbridge residents who read this blog vote "No" we might win. All kidding aside...

Sturbridge Voters: Be very, very afraid

Yesterday I wrote a post about Article 48 on the warrant for Monday's special town meeting. Mr. or Mrs. Anonymous commented on it (thank you) and mentioned another, even more scary article that is also on the warrant, Article 52. What is Article 52 and why is it scary?

Sturbridge and article 48

The best part about reading the local paper (although if you only read it online is it still called reading the paper?) is reading the "Letters to the Editor" section. In my opinion, this is the still the best place to go to get what people really think about local issues. Why it was a letter to the editor which I worte which made me a legend in the tea party movement. Okay, for the record I am only a legend in my own mind but it sounded good.
