Crisis in confidence highlights need for independent group

Dear Editor: Each response and action so far has only made it more clear how big the divide is between the insiders’ perceptions of and the reality of the crisis in confidence plaguing the town’s leaders. It strikes me that there isn’t an obvious reason why an independent group of residents should not form and […]

Select Board’s silence on member’s conduct is deafening

Dear Editor: We appreciate the recent articles as well as the oped about the Karen Read trial. They are well overdue, because this event has rocked the town. However, what is still conspicuously absent in the Canton Citizen is any mention of the Select Board’s silence on fellow board member Chris Albert’s actions. Specifically, Albert […]

‘Random citizen’ offers thoughts on water filtration

Dear Editor: A Select Board member was caught on a hot mic calling someone an “[expletive] random citizen” for raising concerns about oversight and other important matters at a recent public meeting. That’s disappointing. So-called “random citizens” contribute to the community, raise families here and pay their taxes. In other words, the same things everyone […]

Controversial library books give cause for concern

Dear Editor: I read Denise Falbo’s August 24 letter to the editor on behalf of Indivisible Canton in support of the American Library Association (ALA). Indivisible Canton, according to Falbo, comprises 140 members. I submit that if parents, grandparents, and other Canton residents read passages from the books in question and supported by the ALA, there would be a […]

Indivisible Canton backs public library decision

Dear Editor: Indivisible Canton, with more than 140 members, supports the Canton Public Library’s recent decision to decline a request to remove a memoir by a nonbinary, asexual author from the shelves. In this, we are on the same page as the American Library Association, which strongly opposes all forms of censorship. We applaud our […]

Select Board member issues apology

Dear Canton Residents: As some of you know, I have proudly served our community for over 40 years and I am truly honored. I have allowed my emotions to get the better of me recently. I apologize for my actions. I am committed to being accountable to the people of this town. I truly respect […]

A few thoughts on local leadership

Dear Editor: It’s disappointing to learn that the Select Board hasn’t been meeting regularly as police commissioners when they haven’t been meeting as water commissioners either. Who was responsible for ensuring regular, preventative meetings were taking place? Anyway, it may be that it is more practical that independent residents serve as commissioners of police, fire […]

Planned dog park should stay at Revere site

Dear Editor: The Revere Dog Park is apparently being relocated. Why? The dog park should be completed at the Paul Revere Heritage Site as originally planned. What is the critical reason requiring relocation? If it is due to wetland issues, why not fix the problem or relocate it to a different location in the park? […]

Don’t be fooled by JRC messaging

Dear Editor: Last week I opened my Canton Citizen only to be greeted by yet another large, colorful ad for the Judge Rotenberg Center. This time the ad included the statement, “Our reward program is beyond compare.” What they neglect to add is that their punishment program is also beyond compare. In addition to being […]

Canton Food Pantry touched by community support

Dear Editor: On Saturday, May 13, Canton’s postal workers participated in the National Association of Letter Carriers’ annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. More than 2,200 pounds of non-perishable food items were collected for the clients of the Canton Food Pantry. A big thank you to the postal workers who collected and transported the items […]
