Dave Atkins' points, and overall perspective on Article 21 are spot on!
People’s natural tendency to resist change is unfounded; far, far more often than not. Dave doesn’t go back as far as the opposition to Westwood Station, but the list of adverse impacts to schools, traffic, crime, culture, community were numerous. None have come to pass.
I hope many will come to Town Meeting to support Article 21 and others.

Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 59 and low of 47 degrees. Overcast for the morning, cloudy in the afternoon, partly cloudy during the evening, overcast overnight.
Of course it must happen, this whole process should have been orchestrated 9 years ago.
Instead, the past and current administration in this Town decided to build a $95M school that wasn't needed!
They put a school before a public safety building.
Of course we need a new fire station now.
And the Town spent $25K to a PR firm to push this through? Of my money? This should either be a conflict of interest or an ethics violation here. Or both. This is outrageous if true!
