Some Residents Oppose a Plan to Build a New Power Plant in Hopkinton

By David Darman on Friday, February 29, 2008.

The owners of the BioEnergy Wood burning plant in Hopkinton want to tear it down, and build a new one.

They propose burning pure wood chips, rather than the construction and demolition debris they once planned to burn.

Despite this change, the same group that fought the incineration of C & D is actively opposing the new scheme.

New Hampshire Public Radio’s David Darman has more.

Comic Relief

By Virginia Prescott on Friday, February 29, 2008.

Funny women are revitalizing TV sitcoms. Shows like 30 Rock, The Sarah Silverman Program, and The New Adventures of Old Christine all star women who got their start in comedy - showing that women are not being relegated to the role of best friend or wacky neighbor. Word of Mouth host Virginia Prescott spoke with Bambi Haggins, who teaches television history and popular culture at the University of Michigan, about the migration from comedy and improv stages to television. She wrote about the topic for Ms. Magazine. We also look at how the role of women in the workplace has changed since the 1970s by comparing "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "30 Rock."

We hope you find this to be a convenient way to follow town meeting.  We sent out a total of three online forms to town officials, school administrators, and planning board chairs.  Not all of them responded.  If town, school or zoning information is missing, you might offer them a gentle reminder.  It only takes a few minutes for them to complete the form.

We encourage you to post your comments, ideas and suggestions below.

You can also view this town's historic spending and revenue trends. If the town sent a link to its warrant, you can see how it compares to other towns via the Warrant Wizard.
