I frequently receive telephone calls from people who say that they are calling from the Canton Lions Club. Their number shows up as "private" on caller ID. Their calls are unwelcome to me. Tonight, September 24, 2008, people called at 7:18 p.m. and again at 7:31 p.m. I regard the repeated calls as annoying and harassing phone calls.

A student at Canton High School has to pay fees for participation in athletics and band, and also has to pay $180 per year for parking at the school, says an article in the Patriot Ledger, the implication being that there would be no parking fees for students if the override passes. I see no reason at all why I should have to pay higher taxes, if the override passes, so that a high-school student with a car doesn't have to pay his own parking fee.
