We could get number 50, but I'm afraid it would require declaring war with them.
Meh, too far away... screw it.

This from an anti-vaccine election denier. You're worried about the children?

How is town meeting not a public meeting? My town is small enough that we do not have representatives or whatever. Individuals vote by show of hands (raised index cards). We do have a section for non voting speakers/ visitors to sit.

People have been changing their names for a long time. Why is this specifically a trans issue and not a reform on credit companies, barring the obvious - she can’t reform them at her station. Still, I’d imagine this affects anyone who’s changed their name.

Can someone tell me how Connecticut and Rhode Island are ranking high in unintentional injuries? Is it just Woonsocket?

This is actually one time when we want to be last, another way to look at it is Massachusetts is 2nd place in states where you're likely to live the longest.

Thanks for the kind words, though I'm a bit more modest about smarts, mostly I have had the opportunity to attend various state municipal org meetings where experienced town officials and lawyers discuss exactly this kind of stuff. I've been in various town functions for quite a few years, it is mostly fun, met some good people, and hopefully did & still do some good.

I've emailed the board citing the ruling and asking if the legality of time limits changes the board's feelings on the matter.
I'd like to at least start with the benefit of the doubt that this was a misunderstanding, and some panic.

> Town Meeting
Minor nit/explanation: a Town Meeting technically isn't a public meeting; it is a semi-closed meeting of a town legislature that just happens to have a lot of legislators. They don't even have to let non-voter general public in. I have seen some debate (from attorneys and moderators) about how much this ruling will effect Town Meetings (short summary: no one knows for sure), as opposed to all the regular board meeting in a town which are definitely covered by it.

To be perfectly honest, they’ve probably wanted to drop citizen comments for a long time and now they think they have a life raft to do so. Sink that raft.

The worst part is each one is different. One says one thing is ok and the other rejects it.
Popmuzik412 t1_jef4b26 wrote
Is it financed or leased? Two different things as far as the RMV is concerned. You also don’t own the car, your mom does or leases it.

I always suggest this option. If you, a friend or family member have a decent sized yard you can rent a giant tent for a day. A lot easier than dealing with venues.

You need to call your old insurance company.
You don't have to call the rmv, just update it next time u renew your registration. but if the car is under loan with a bank, you should Definitly call the bank and let them know you have switched insurance, because the old company can send them a letter saying undropped coverage and the bank will repo the car.
It won't be a problem if u get pulled over, just keep your new policy in the glove box.

Three of the five are New England, which is shocking. I’d expect it to be western states with lots of wide, high speed roads or ones with lots of heavy industry.
