Special thank you to town meeting boards

Dear Editor:

I wanted to take a moment to recognize the commitment that the town officials of Canton have to the well being of the town. As many of you know, town meeting can be a very contentious time as boards work hard to present their views of our best course of action as a community. Often, in preparation and on town meeting floor, we disagree on the best route. This can sometimes lead to hard feelings and worse, a lack of future communication. This year’s warrant didn’t necessarily have some of the hot button issues of the past, but the number of articles was a massive undertaking for many hardworking volunteers.

In a continued display of solidarity, members of the School Committee, Finance Committee, Board of Selectmen, Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals, Community Preservation Committee, and Capital Planning Committee (as well as some great town employees that help us do our jobs) met at the Turnpike Café on Monday night for the eighth annual Town Meeting After-Party. We came together, laughed and toasted to a successful town meeting. To everyone who attended: Thank you and I look forward to working together to keep Canton a wonderful place to live!

Sincerely,

Mark J. Porter

Vice Chair, Board of Selectmen
