2. Board Post of the Day: Selectman David Gay submitted a board post regarding next week's special Town Meeting vote on the proposed zoning amendments that would accommodate a slots parlor at 300 Ames Pond Drive. Read an excerpt below (click the link above to read the full post):

Our residents made it overwhelmingly clear that they want their opportunity to vote on important issues that affect their lives and impact the town of Tewksbury.
