Anyone who has been following my unsuccessful attempts to initiate meaningful change to the Town Meeting process over the last 17 months, I thank you. This has been an adventure into the curious workings of a process that, I believe, desperately needs improved accountability,...
Dear Editor:
If you were selling your own home, would you limit your marketing efforts to one ad in the Groton Herald and a posting in an obscure website that required prospective buyers to pay a subscription fee in order to view your listing?
Well, that is all that our town leaders have done in...
