Dear Editor: Diogenes can stop his search: We do have honest people in Canton. Despite the purchase of some of our legislature by the lobbyists at the Judge Rotenberg Center, Governor Patrick and Senator Joyce have been instrumental in denying Matthew Israel our taxes in the form of Medicaid funds. You and I are thereby saved from […]
Dear Editor: Governor Patrick has proposed legislation to eliminate 242 local public housing authorities and turn the control over to a state bureaucracy. Thomas J. Connelly, Jr. Executive Director of Mass NAHRO, will file legislation to streamline the delivery of affordable housing services to the commonwealth’s low-income families and senior citizens. This plan, instead of […]
As a fellow citizen of Canton, I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Alice C. Brown for addressing the recent disastrous mishandling of the Knights of Columbus building via town officials. That this building — so sadly languishing and much neglected as it already was — in dire need of numerous improvements […]
Dear Editor: I read with interest some recent letters from Ms. Alice Brown. She is quite articulate, and like many seniors in Canton is upset about the issues surrounding the former Knights of Columbus building at 500 Pleasant Street.

There was probably an inch […]
Dear Editor: On Friday and Saturday, February 1 and 2, the Dean S. Luce fourth and fifth grade presented “Cinderella” as our annual school play. It truly takes a village, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank some people who helped to make the performance special: director Cheryl Myles, who turned our […]
Dear Editor: I waited this past week to see if the disaster at the former Knights of Columbus building would be reported on to the citizens who have paid $425,000 for this “pig in a poke.” Having received from impeccable sources the news that someone turned off the heat there, resulting in the pipes freezing, […]
Dear Canton Citizens for Honest Government: You are right that even a hint of public corruption should be brought to light at the appropriate time. You are right that Canton should have more citizens running for elected office. You are right that the citizens of Canton should turn out to elections and Town Meeting to […]
DID YOU KNOW … John Connolly told MAC that he will be running for reelection as a Canton selectman, and MAC is endorsing him because, for the past 30 years, I have watched him demonstrate a firm and untiring commitment to making Canton a better place to live, to work, and to raise our children.
