DA's suit against sheriff dismissed

Now, Oak Bluffs is planning to cover the lost payment through its stabilization fund, which will require a two-thirds majority vote at the special town meeting planned for next month. Read more

Quote of the Day
|
“We’ve suffered many thousands of dollars in crop losses and infrastructure damage due to rodents and birds that waste handling brought onto the farm, our lack of depackaging and screening equipment has resulted in literal tons of trash getting buried or otherwise blown around our property over the years.”
—Tim Connelley of Island Grown Initiative on a composting pilot closing at their farm
