Dear Editor: I am not sure everyone in Canton understands just what an outstanding history teacher Coach Paul Therrien was.

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.
