As a Town Meeting Member (TMM) in Precinct 5, I was surprised to hear that my constituents had never had a TMM share information on what Town Meeting was working on, what effect current warrant articles (legislation) could have on them, how to contact their TMMs to advocate for or against something, and how to access their Town Meeting Members' voting record.
It is very much our job to provide you with this information. When you are not informed, you don't get the opportunity to have a say in things like your taxes, zoning laws, the Town's budget, new laws and regulations, and more. When you don't know how your TMMs have voted, you can't hold us accountable and you won't understand whether or not to re-elect them. It's critically important. Thanks for your interest!
