Past week’s comments
Welcome to the BoxfordDems’ ol’-fashioned, non-social-media, moderated subscriber’s forum!
We encourage our Democratic and Democratic-adjacent subscribers to submit feedback, comments, and suggestions for initiatives that can help promote and preserve democracy.
We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility.
Please limit comments to 150 words or so. Each week’s deadline for comments or letters to the editor is the Friday night of that week.
Anonymous (Aug. 3) on Ballot 1: Public Records Requirements for Legislature and Governor’s Office Initiative
"I am concerned about the privacy of constituents, and the time spent in responding to frivolous records requests. Also, the MA House and Senate recently passed legislation that will put the Governor's office and the Legislature under public records law, with exceptions for constituents privacy. Vote no on this question and keep the Legislature's version."
