    PLEASE we urge EVERYONE to write to State Rep Winslow & Attorney Merrick. This is a serious situation that we all need to act on NOW. “We know who” has an agenda that he is steamrolling through, First, a NEW commuter rail proposal (to replace the one done last year by the MBTA showing that this IS a bad idea). The commuter rail will connect many rails to the west, so that they all go through South Walpole & end up at Patriots Place (for the common good?) . It doesn’t seem to matter that a full time high speed commuter rail running through South Walpole would have MANY negative effects on our neighborhood & bring down the prices of our homes as well. I want to praise OUR selectmen for their support & the letters to be sent to Attorney Merrick & Governor Patrick.
    Second, is the zoning change that is being requested by Kraft, for an area right up to South Walpole…With the recent approval of casinos in our state, it’s very clear what the next step is here. PLEASE COME to the Foxboro Planning Board meeting, to be held on Thursday, December 8 at 8 pm at the Foxboro Town Hall (40 south st). Attorney Merrick, who declined coming to last night’s Walpole Selectmen meeting, should be at this meeting. There will be discussions about the commuter rail & the proposed zoning changes. PLEASE MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD!
