State Aid in Sudbury
Sudbury Weekly recently covered the release of a Town of Sudbury Financial Report and Reference Guide that provides a detailed analysis of Sudbury’s financial position, including comparisons to similar communities. Sudbury Weekly then published a follow-up on school spending, and will continue to cover some of the insights brought forward by the report. This week, we’re looking at Sudbury’s…
Lincoln-Sudbury Students Take Up the Mantle
Sudbury's 2025 Annual Town Meeting has been slow moving, particularly considering the outcomes of the votes haven't been very close. Yet one article, Article 34, inspired an urgency that was absent in most of the other articles. Article 34 would provide additional funds for repairs to the Atkinson Pool. When the article came…
25 Years of Citizen Petitions
Sudbury has three Citizen Petitions on the Annual Town Meeting Warrant this year. It's fairly typical for there to be at least one Citizen Petition on the warrant. Upon review, there have only been five Annual Town Meetings without a Citizen Petition on the warrant since 2000. To conduct the analysis, Sudbury Weekly…

Analyzing School Spending in Sudbury
A recent report issued by the Town of Sudbury presented school spending in a manner that many residents don’t typically think of school spending. While “per pupil cost” is a common method of analyzing school spending, and the report included that (page 83), the report also laid out Sudbury’s “net school spending.” The Massachusetts…

April Showers
Sudbury weather for April lived up to the theme of April Showers. The area received rain on 17 days for the month. But, no big rain storms were embedded in the monthly rainfall numbers. Hence we continue to run somewhat sub par on our precipitation values. And yes a little snow was thrown in but…
Creature Comfort
“I used to rescue bugs outside at recess,” laughs Ashley Makridakis. “Everyone else was playing tag and I was taking care of my own little ant farm. My sisters would see a spider and they’d be screaming,’Kill it!’ and I would be running over with my cup to save it and bring it outside.” …

The Spitfire Grill is a Surefire Hit
It’s no secret that one of the best theaters in Boston is in Concord—at The Umbrella. So, it was surprising to see the theater not quite half full during The Spitfire Grill’s preview weekend on Saturday night. That should change: this production is firing on all pistons, especially its lead character, Percy Talbott, played by…

Town of Sudbury Releases Long-Term Financial Report and Reference Guide
According to the Open Government Partnership, “transparency occurs when ‘government-held information (including on activities and decisions) is open, comprehensive, timely, freely available to the public, and meets basic open data standards…’” Based on that standard, the Town of Sudbury took a significant step to increase transparency on Friday, April 25, when it published nearly 200…
Why Not In My Backyard?
There’s nothing easy about farming. Weather. Pests. Deer. Raccoons. Rabbits. There are vast numbers of things completely out of one’s control which threaten to make even a seasoned veteran of the fields raise the white flag of surrender. Yet there is truly nothing like a warm, vine-ripe tomato picked just before making a BLT…
A Tradition That Surpasses Muster
“I’m kind of like a little kid.” This is how John Neuhauser, a fixture in Sudbury since he was indeed a little kid, describes this coming Saturday, April 19th. Some folks know John as Kim’s husband, or as Kaleigh’s and Brennan’s dad, or even as the coach that once taught their sons and daughters…
