Letters
To the Editor:
This is one of the most important letters I have written to the Groton Herald because the issues are so important to our future as a town. Override proponents want you to believe that Groton-Dunstable students’ test scores are falling, there is falling performance, class sizes...

I will certainly be voting for him again, and I would encourage you to join me!...
