Letter To The Editor: What Is The Town Becoming?

READING, MA — The following letter to the editor was submitted by longtime Town Meeting member Nancy Graham.

To Fellow Reading residents:

Just a quick letter to inform readers what’s going on in our "little town." I have lived in Reading for my entire life, raised two children here and now I am lucky enough to be in the lives of six grandchildren all here in Reading.

On Saturday I was holding a political sign on the common as I’ve done many times before; only to discover that other sign holders weren’t always Reading folks. UNION REPRESENTATIVES from the gas company were here holding signs discouraging the recall. What has Reading become? First we make the evening news because of our refusal to appoint a Police Chief and now union members holding signs!

As a Town Meeting Member for 51 years I find this intolerable! What is the town becoming? What do you want it to become?

Please cast your vote for the future of READING.

Nancy Graham
