To the Editor: Tonight, I will attend my last meeting as a proud member of the Canton School Committee. To that end, I give my heart-felt thanks to all the citizens of Canton who saw fit to first elect me to the committee in 2002, and for the many terms and years that have followed. […]
A few weeks ago, I came across a particularly annoying click-bait pop-up ad from a well-known online lender. “Do the math (the banks wish you wouldn’t do),” their ad said. In Australia, where free speech laws are less absolute than they are here in the United States, it is illegal for a business to “make […]
Dear Editor: Our entire family was quite heated with the attack on CHS Principal Derek Folan in the paper last week, about his alleged political motives behind the planned student walkout. This reader clearly does not have teenage children! We are Second Amendment supporters and student supporters! Yes, you can be both! Thank you to the school […]

MAC is still on vacation in Florida playing softball, so this is a reprint of one of his very interesting columns from last year. Did you know … Cantonites see the “Seal of Canton” on the stationery of all town boards, all documents that are mailed out, and on all town vehicles, including but not limited […]
Dear Editor: The students of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School are the latest victims in what seems an unending string of school shootings. Because they were able to document events on their phones, we all had a small taste of the bone-chilling terror they experienced. I think if I had lived through that, I’d […]
This month’s Smart About Money is featured in the Canton Citizen’s annual Financial Fitness Guide, included with the March 1 edition. That was the headline of an article in The Washington Post in January. Considering that millions and millions of homeowners have home equity lines and loans (and love them), it was pretty alarmist. “Did […]
