To the editor: As outgoing Selectman Eckhouse so eloquently noted, our open Town Meeting, marked by civil debates and a search for consensus, is in stark contrast to what is happening in some quarters of the national political arena. He noted that the final votes—the outcome our collective investment of time and thought this past Saturday—proved the value…
To the editor: Stan Solomon, my friend and neighbor here at The Commons, is a candidate for Bemis Trustee. Stan has a long history of active public service during his many years as a Lexington resident. Please consider voting for Stan on March 28.

To the editor: I am running for re-election to the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional School Committee. My wife and I have been in Sudbury for nearly 19 years. I am forever grateful for the excellent education my children received in Sudbury and LSRHS. In 2013, I advocated for fiscal stability for L-S; we witnessed budget and personnel…

To the editor: Article 34 at Town Meeting on Saturday is a replay of last year’s failed effort by the Planning Board to limit the choice of light fixtures and bulbs used outside homes and businesses. It should be defeated for these reasons: It limits the selection of outdoor fixtures to those that do not…
To the editor: While a bit belated, I would like to thank the Lincoln PTO for organizing and hosting the recent “Meet the Candidates” forum. The forum provided a great opportunity for all of the candidates (myself included) seeking positions on various town boards and committees to introduce ourselves to those in attendance and to…
To the editor: Good morning. I am the “outside” candidate for Bemis Trustee, Stan(ley J.) Solomon. My wife is Susan Solomon. We have lived at The Commons for approaching five years. Before that we lived in Lexington for over 50 years, where I spent my spare time with Boy Scout Troop 119 while Susan was a Town…
To the editor: The lack of uniform gun laws means that all of us are subject to a flood of weaponry purchased in the least restrictive states, in many cases without background checks on the buyers.
