TOWN MEETING 2008

Map | About the project | Help

With help from many people we assembled a sampling of some of the items on the warrant this March. We hope you find this list helpful and we hope you will use this page to post a comment on specific items. Three big points:

  • If you post a comment, keep your subject to just one warrant article. You can post as many separate comments as you like; our goal is to keep the online discussion organized in the same way that a town meeting goes through warrant articles one at a time.
  • You can comment on any warrant article whether it is on this short list or not. The goal of this list is just to get the conversation started but you are free to draw attention to any item that you think is important.
  • If you post a comment, please give your full name at the bottom, just as you'd have to state your name at town meeting.
