Reject Article 3.   Accountability is not unimportant — it is essential — but this proposal is so permissive that it would expose every elected official in Sudbury to removal on the basis of nothing more than organized personal grievance.  A small faction who take the notion will be able to overthrow the votes cast…

As Sudbury moves beyond our annual election and fast approaches our next hallowed civic event, Town Meeting (starting Monday May 4th), we are met with a citizen petition (page 74) for a second Town Meeting (Wednesday May 20th). The mechanism for a citizen to request a special Town Meeting is an important feature of…
