2. Reader Comment of the Day: "I agreement with "Comment", the largest venue in town barely fit the 2,500 people that went to the meeting, forget trying to fit all the town residents in somewhere. And town meetings are not convenient for most people in town, obviously. Voting for something this important should be made easier on the town's population not more difficult and time consuming," reader Julie commenting on the article, Selectmen Vote to Cancel Special Election on Slots Parlor.
