Dear Editor: Elizabeth Warren came to Canton recently to speak in the Route 138 area. Not one member of our Democratic Town Committee was there to help us greet her. Why? Disgusted by Scott Brown’s mischaracterization of himself as a good ol’ boy voting for the common man, when he has consistently voted against their […]
Dear Editor: This past Sunday, the First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church in Canton welcomed longtime activist William Baird, of Eisenstadt v. Baird Supreme Court decision fame.
