Readers -

You will get this issue and the next before we move to the paid platform. PLEASE let me know of any difficulties you have opening either the one- or two-column format. Or any other problems or comments.

No one's threatened me with a lawsuit, so far (that happened with the prior publication). The several comments thus far have been positive.

Rumors, tips, scathing criticism - all welcome!

HIGHLIGHTS

Tree Task Force and Central Core Working Group are each aiming for the new Town Council's initial working meetings in December. CCWG wants to eliminate Color Overlay District and shrink the Design Review District. TTF wants to require much more vigilance about maintaining and expanding our tree canopy. That month should also see the inauguration of a new town manager, and might see the purchase of 22 Main Street.
