Dear Editor: I’m writing to voice my support for Congressman Stephen Lynch in the upcoming special election to fill John Kerry’s seat. I’ve been following this election closely but didn’t know who I would support until I heard Stephen Lynch talking about his efforts to protect Social Security. Congressman Lynch calls Social Security a “sacred promise from […]
Dear Editor: Stoughton and Sharon have gorgeous community centers, primarily filled with us seniors. Their lectures, yoga and aerobics classes are things of joy. We in Canton also need a new spacious community center, which the town would vote for willingly if we did not limit it to seniors. A few years ago $800,000 was […]

Dear Editor: Emotions are running high concerning the purchase of the K of C property for a future senior center. Alice Brown and Mary Ann Kinnealey are strongly questioning the condition of the building as well as why the townspeople were not told the full story about its condition and what the final cost to taxpayers might be.

Dear Editor: Diogenes can stop his search: We do have honest people in Canton. Despite the purchase of some of our legislature by the lobbyists at the Judge Rotenberg Center, Governor Patrick and Senator Joyce have been instrumental in denying Matthew Israel our taxes in the form of Medicaid funds. You and I are thereby saved from […]
