Dear Groton Residents, I am writing on behalf of Marlena Gilbert, candidate for Groton School Committee. I have known Marlena for five years. When I first met her, I quickly learned that she is one of the hardest working and most dedicated people I know. Also, she is extremely personable and has a...
Dear Editor: I had the opportunity to observe first hand the "budget debacle" that we as a town and the school district faced when the 2.5+ million dollar school budget short fall "bestowed" its "ugly head" upon us in FY '13 and '14. The School Committee was as shocked as were the rest of the town...
Dear Editor, I would like to clear up some misconceptions about financial short falls in 2014. The data support the notion that the financial short fall was an acute event that occurred in FY13 and bled into FY14. In fact it was the strong E&D position that allowed the district to make it...
Dear Editor,   I would like to let people know that there will be a Candidates Night on Tuesday, 5 May at 7 PM at the Senior Center on West Main Street.  There are contested races for Selectman and for School Committee.  The event will be videotaped for later broadcast, but if people want to ask...

Dear Editor: Jason Kauppi deserves a round of applause for how he conducted the town meeting Monday night. It is not every day that over 350 people gather in one room to deliberate about a potentially volatile topic and conduct themselves in such an orderly and respectful manner. I also want to...
Dear Editor: There were two losers at Tuesday's town meeting:  Mr. Flynn, who managed to rile up the whole town, only to surprise most of the people when he withdrew his motion because the voting procedure didn't go his way AND the residents of Groton who have to continue to put up with the...
Ed. Note: The following letter was sent to Town Moderator Jason Kauppi in reference to events occurring at Monday night's opening session of spring town meeting.] Dear Mr. Kauppi, I am writing to you with regard to what I experienced at town meeting Monday night (4/27/15). I am disturbed by what...
Dear Editor: The first installment of the Spring Town Meeting is over. Mr. Haddad gets to keep his $127,000 a year job. It would be pretty hard to fire him not knowing what he did. The big spenders were back voting for many big ticket items without a whimper. One lady stated, "Many of these small...
