A common belongs to the people
To the Editor,
I’ve already sent a letter directly to Mayor McCarthy indicating my concerns about her unilateral decision on time limits for common activities.
As I understand it, a common belongs to the people or a town or city. Once used for community grazing for cows it has evolved — especially in Waltham — into a place for community activities that reflect and support our community.
Sadly, for me, this decision echoes some authoritarian vibes floating in the air these days.
