Well we have learned that if you tell your leaders to fuck off enough, you get to create a brand new country. Worked then.

Unfortunately public participation can be eliminated if the chairman chooses, but it still has to be equally applied to all. As I mentioned in my first reply, you have to apply the rules equally to all so if you don't want certain people to speak then you have to prohibit everyone from being able to speak. But once you open the floor to anyone you have to give an equal opportunity to everything regardless if they want to call you Hitler or say things you don't like.

Hahahaha, "is it the best" then follow up with explaining where it is. Really? Clearly if everyone thought it was the best would you really have to explain where it is? Weird!

Here is the actual ruling...

BOLD emphasis mine...

"Although civility, of course, is to be encouraged, it cannot be required regarding the
content of what may be said in a public comment session of a governmental meeting without violating both provisions of the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights, which provide for a robust protection of public criticism of governmental action and officials. What can be required is that the public comment session be conducted in an "orderly and peaceable" manner, including designating when public comment shall be allowed in the governmental meeting, the time limits for each person speaking, and rules preventing speakers from disrupting others, and removing those speakers if they do. "

There is a full 29 pages there your chairperson should maybe read rather than going by what they think they interpreted from a clickbait headline. Maybe they shouldn't be chairperson if they are unable to look up laws and ruling and simply reading them.

Sounds like you, as well as your municipality, don't understand what was ruled on. It wasn't that people can tie up a meeting for hours reading a book. It was about that in an open forum everyone needs to have the same rules applied to them. So if Mary speaks politely for 5 minutes on her view, then everyone should get at least 5 minutes even if they just say fuck fuck fuck for 5 minutes straight.

All your municipality needs to do it put a time limit per person and they can say whatever they want during that time. Then when everyone has had their say, "Citizen's Time" is over. This isn't difficult.

Probably taken down because it has nothing to do specifically with Massachusetts.

No they said "high end" not "get high in"

A year or two ago I had a sharp pain in my lower leg. I went to the ER (Emerson Hospital) on a weekend told them my symptoms. They did an ultrasound on my leg that day and found I had a small blood clot. I was prescribed blood thinners and had a follow up with my primary doctor and soon after a follow up ultrasound. The clot resolved itself and was no more.

FRICKIN' how did they not order up a simple noninvasive ultrasound for this man?

I actually liked more beers at True West than Rapscallion, although now that my boys aged out of youth hockey and I don't need to go to the Nashoba (Acton Boxboro) rink anymore, I haven't actually been there since before the pandemic + another year or two before that. Perhaps they have gone downhill since? At the time I thought their IPA was their least appealing beer (and I am an IPA drinker). Oddly I thought their brown ale was very good considering I don't normally like browns all that much. And their Belgian Tripel and Dubbel were both good.

I don't recall them every having much of a "bar" for cocktails, to get back on track with this thread. Just a handful of kind of standards I used to see them make a lot of the same things over and over sitting at the bar.

Hope their cocktails are better than their rather pedestrian beer.

Greenland has a population less than Waltham, so do we really want to base our actions on what they do?

>Much much worse are the landlords who tell you a few days before your new lease that your rents going up 🤷. Or conversely the tenants that give landlords very little notice that they aren't renewing their lease.

But in both those cases both parties have at least 30 more days to decide what to do, legally speaking that is.

Get other quotes! If you a couple weeks later you are still interested in Express Roofing then tell them and if they say the quote is expired then tell them to quote it again for that week (they don't need to come out to re-quote a job)

Boston? While I don't have a specific recommendations around Acton/Maynard, you need not drive any further in than Woburn to get to The Baldwin Bar.

Now that the weather is starting to get a little better, I have been considering new places to go to practice my photography. Sounds like a nice place to spend an hour this weekend.

I think it was her face that did her dirty.

Source? Because my reading of the current Title 5 law still talks about numbers of bedrooms because that dictates approximately how many people could be living in the house full time. Doesn't matter if those, for example, 4 people are using 2 bathrooms or 8 bathrooms, the amount of water and waste is going to be 4 people's worth.

Maybe that is the point. He couldn't afford the whole Trans-Am so settled for just a Trans (or in this case a Trans-Ain't)

The answer is very easy to look up. Simply check your town's property card for your property. If your town is describing it as a 3-bedroom and taxing you on a 3-bedroom then your house is a 3-bedroom.

And any building codes tend to be defining NEW construction. If your home was a 3-bedroom when it was built then likely it is still 3 bedroom.

And get a new realtor. They sound like they want you to low ball your house so they can make the quick commission rather than helping you get best value.

>why the registry defaulted me to 1 year vs 2

They can not renew you for more than two years. So you generally get 1 year plus however many month until the plate's month comes up. They can do 1 year and 3 months for example, but they can not do 2 years and 3 months. So you get the shorter one and a little discount off the price.

Well as I asked on your other post, that that you confirmed, and then I explained why, if you TRANSFER a plate to a new car, the month your registration is literally stamped in metal on the plate and can not be changed. So if it is November and your registration expires in March, if you then buy a new car and transfer the registration in Nov. then the expiration still has to be March, so your new expiration date will be 16 months later rather than a full 2 years.

If you want the full two years, then you need to cancel your old plates and get new ones.

OK that is why then. Your registration never changes which month it renews. That is why the month is stamped right on the plate. Also did you know the last number on your license plate corresponds to the month your registration expires? Example "XYZ 123" and "0123 XY" both indicate expiring in March.

So when you transfer plates, it doesn't reset from March to November. It stays March as is literally stamped in metal on your plate. The renewal will be for anywhere from 1 to 2 years later depending on your month of your registration and where you are in the year. Your plates expire in March. Since you transferred them in November the year would move up but you still were stuck on March, so in November your new expiration for the transferred plates would be about 16 month later rather than a full 24 months.

Still the same car? You didn't transfer the plates to another car the last time?
