Dear Editor: The war against men is alive and well in Canton. It’s on full display against John Connolly, the incumbent running for reelection to the Canton Select Board on April 8. The letter-writing campaign is in full swing, maligning one of the most decent, competent, and productive men to have served on the Select […]
Dear Editor: I stand with John Connolly for re-election to the Select Board. John is an experienced, passionate, loyal, and committed citizen of this great town we live in, Canton. He has led and served this town for over 30 years. With his leadership, the town has attracted many significant businesses that have chosen to make Canton their […]
Dear Editor: It’s time for change. We have the right candidate at the right time. Canton’s first three-person Board of Selectmen took office in 1797. The first woman, Sheila Cheimets, was elected to the board in 1972. In 2004, the board expanded from three to five seats. In 1989, the year John Connolly was elected […]
Dear Editor: After watching the replay of the candidates forum, I say thank you to John Connolly for your many years of service, but it’s time for a change on the Canton Select Board and the Canton Police Department. Susan Harrington is a breath of fresh air. Vote for John Connolly and you’re voting for […]

Dear Editor: Our annual town election is Tuesday, April 8. This election is of paramount importance and will shape the future of our community. Your vote and that of every registered Canton voter matters — now more than ever! Regrettably, only 17 to 20 percent of registered voters typically participate in the town election. This […]
Dear Editor: Thanks to over 2,000 residents who signed petitions to Move the Vote, Canton voters will have the opportunity on the April 2025 ballot to indicate whether they want to sync our local election with state and federal elections in November. This one change, often starting on the local level, is cited as the […]
Dear Editor: Approximately half of all Canton votes cast in the November 2024 presidential election were mail-in ballots. Many voters don’t know that if you filed an application for mail-in ballots at any time during 2024, it was only good for elections in 2024! And unlike in 2024, voters will not automatically receive an application […]
Dear Editor: It’s budget season on Beacon Hill again, as Governor Healey rolled out a $62.07 billion FY26 budget proposal, which is an increase of $4.3 billion (7 percent) over the FY25 General Appropriations Act current budget of $59.6 billion. This proposed spending grows significantly over FY25 GAA. Governor Healey’s budget includes free community college […]
Dear Editor: In response to the January 16 column titled “A Tale of 2 Presidents,” I found the information about these two presidents interesting. I learned something new about President Carter.
