Vote No on Question 4
Vote No on Question 4.
Question 4 seeks to increase what people pay in property taxes so that the town will have money to spend on open space and historic preservation. Canton already has enough open space. And, contrary to what some may like to think, there are no historic sites in Canton to be preserved. If there were a worthwhile historic site, a private non-profit entity would preserve it without the need for tax to be levied on every piece of real property in the town.
The Vote Yes people have sent out a ridiculous post card that suggests that the Plymouth Rubber Factory site could be turned into a water park for children to play in. I would not want any children ever playing at that site. I can't imagine that any clean-up of hazardous materials would ever make that site safe.

As far as I can see, the town website is not providing any guidance about trash collection this week. How will the schedule be affected by the storm?
UPDATE: The town website now says, "Trash pickup will occur on the normal weekly schedule."

Update on events at Norfolk Probate Court:
Summary: Stemberg offered to agree to release the Romney testimony if Globe dropped request to lift gag order on MSS; Globe agreed....
— David S. Bernstein (@dbernstein) October 25, 2012
...MSS objected, but since it's the Globe's motion the judge said she would need to file her own motion...
— David S. Bernstein (@dbernstein) October 25, 2012
...but everyone agreed that MSS can give the Romney testimony to others now, in addition to the Globe...
— David S. Bernstein (@dbernstein) October 25, 2012
...so we'll all soon have the testimony, but MSS won't be able to tell whatever other stories she has about Romney's behavior.
