The costs and complexity of planning for long term care for ourselves or a loved one is a challenge that will impact nearly every member of our community. I am grateful to community volunteers Bob May, Walter Burke, and Bob Lieberman, who identified and filled a critical need for information by creating this helpful series…

We talk a lot about transparency and accountability in local government, as we should. If you serve in elected or appointed office, people get to question you, disagree with you and criticize your decisions. Eventually, you have to say aye or nay and own that vote. There isn't a middle vote. The vote, though, is…

Thank you to the September 11th Memorial Garden Committee and to the Town of Sudbury for the time, care, and dedication you put into this year’s commemoration. Your work ensures that we continue to remember the lives lost, honor the courage and sacrifice of so many, and preserve the memory of September 11 for future…

Earlier this year there were three issues that came before the town.  First, in March there was a write-in campaign for a seat on the SPS School Committee.

We have many volunteer boards and committees who, day in and day out, are contributing to the complex work of running our town. They have many other responsibilities in their lives including paid work and family responsibilities, and yet they choose to give of their limited time and energy to support and sustain our community.…

In June, we published an opinion piece on the continued controversy over the Sudbury Housing Authority's plan to demolish four affordable single-family homes in Pine Lakes. Since then, residents have watched closely. Here is what two months have — and haven't — produced. Start with the silence. In May, Town Meeting passed Article…

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Vivian Zeng, Sudbury’s Director of Health and Community Services, for all the work that she and her team did last year when we were dealing with a noise issue. Our community of townhouses on Farmstead Lane back up to the Chiswick Park industrial park, and, unfortunately, last…
