Hello Neighbors - Town Meeting Day is six weeks away and ballots will arrive in the mail in early February.
The W4/7 NPA Meeting is scheduled for this Wednesday, January 25th from 7-9 PM. The agenda for this meeting is included here. There are several very significant questions on the Town Meeting Day ballot that deserve your informed attention. In addition to a presentation on the proposed school budget, the W4/7 NPA is hosting two panels to discuss Proposition Zero (a citizen petition for charter changes by direct referendum) and the proposal for a Community Oversight Board for the Police Dept. (also a citizen petition).

You are urged to join this conversation. See you there.
