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. Second, there was a citizen petition for a vote of ‘no confidence’ in the SPS school committee that required calling a special town meeting. Third, there was…

I hear you. You disagree with something in relation to that culture/religion/identity. You don’t think the signs should be up, you get upset when you drive by and see them. I get it.
