Dear Editor:
I am truly baffled with The Groton Herald editorial asking us to support our town. Flip flopping on issues that will have a negative affect on our town is something I can't support. This 18,750 sf central fire station at the estimated cost of $7.5 million is not about need; it's about...
Dear Editor:
I count myself among the couple dozen Groton families who directly or indirectly abut the Rocky Hill Wildlife Sanctuary from all points on the compass. Like they, I marvel at the natural beauty of the flora and fauna that present themselves at our doorsteps. What wonderful acts of...
Dear Editor:
I am writing in support of environmental Articles 5, 6, 7, 9, 17 and 18 because I believe that their passage will benefit present and future townspeople. Articles 5, 6 and 7 support the sewering of the Lost Lake Area; Article 9 supports the Conservation Commission's request for funds...

Dear Editor:
Saturday I took a friend horseback riding. We started at my house on Long Hill Rd. and meandered up Indian Hill behind John Crow Farm. As we went higher and higher the mountains came into view. What a picturesque sight before me. I felt as though I was riding in the Rockies. A sense of...
Dear Editor,
Mitt Romney said that 47 percent of the American people pay no income tax. This is true. Our progressive tax rate structure is so skewed that a large number of lower-income working people do not pay any income tax. Yes, they may pay Social Security and Medicare tax, but that ostensibly...
Dear Editor:
I have been asked to comment by the Tax Payers Alliance on several money articles at the Oct. 15 town meeting. The Alliance forms its opinions based on facts, much as a jury would do (using TV and newspaper articles as factual sources.) The Alliance is surprised to see the Lost Lake...

Cooperative Elder Services, Inc, an Adult Day Health and Alzheimer's Day Program located at 8 West Main St. in Groton, would like to thank Middlesex Savings Bank for their recent charitable donation. Their generous contribution will benefit our Hot Meals Program, which provides...
