came across this insightful letter in The Day. It really dives into why we should be concerned about elected officials silencing opposition. Definitely worth checking out! Read the full article here

Are elected officials relieved of the obligation to explain their decisions, tolerate scrutiny or respect dissenting voices?

Chairman Bill Furgueson:

The Groton Independents want to thank the many voters who came out to support us at the polls. We are proud of the campaign we ran focusing on the issues and staying away from the mud slinging. We wish the newly elected Town Council members all the best and hope they will do what is right for our community: Keeping Groton affordable, listening to your concerns, and making responsible decisions regarding development in our community. We will continue to work to keep these concerns on the forefront of the Council’s agenda to ensure the best future for Groton. Thank you all again.

From Chairman Bill Furgueson:

Groton friends and neighbors,

As Election Day approaches, we want to remind everyone to get out and vote! Your voice matters, and every ballot makes a difference in shaping Groton’s future.

We’re deeply grateful for the tremendous outpouring of support and positive feedback we’ve received while door-knocking, and talking with residents. It’s been inspiring to hear from so many of you who care deeply about transparency, accountability, and real progress for our community.

As you cast your vote, we ask you to look closely at the tone and priorities of each campaign. Our team has focused on the issues and on finding solutions—while the other party has chosen to run a campaign of personal attacks and misinformation.

Remember, actions speak louder than words. We’re committed to bringing respect, collaboration, and integrity back to the table and getting Groton back on track—together.
