Following up the discussion topic aired here recently on whether and when people should sign pulbicly distributed political statements, Pauline Barnes and Adrian Basora asked that I post the following. CCB
"With regard to recent discussions about anonymity, we would
like to publicly identify ourselves as among the senders of a
mailing Walpole residents just received. The mailing urged a yes
vote on warrant articles 6 and 7 (described as amendments 5 and
6) and a no vote on Article 2 (amendment 1)."
"We were responding to the sudden news of a commercial landowner protest petition and, in our haste, we did not add our names. We regret that. We are not an organization but among a group of several concerned citizens reacting to a legal maneuver that hands developers an extraordinary advantage at the expense of the ordinary citizen: the requirement for a two-thirds majority vote."
