Massachusetts Agencies and Bridgewater Town Council Deal Setback to Claremont Proposal; Significant Victory For The Commons of Southeastern Massachusetts
Another excellent in-depth article sir. MassDEP, EEA & other bureaucratic state agencies, have been hopefully put on notice that they work for us and we pay their salaries. It's a shame that citizens have to go to so much effort just to get these agencies to actually do their jobs and abide & enforce the laws as written. Law's adopted to protect the ever dwindling natural resources of the Commonwealth for the benefit it's citizens, not for developers or other private for profit entities that do not derive their livelihood from these resources.
Thank you, Rosemary! I appreciate your comment, and I very much agree -- we can't have a functioning democracy if citizens are not aware of what is going on in our communities.
Just catching up with the PCO, and so relieved to hear of this latest news from Bridgewater. As always abundant thanks for bringing the news to us in such well distilled form. Many lessons to be taken, but above all--the importance of citizen engagement.
Excellent news. Good job Bridgewater!

Keep up the good work, Dr. Ben. Getting out timely, accurate information on the state of the environment of the Commons is so important.
