On January 29, the Town Council consented to issue a $1.05-million “open space bond” as a one-year note—money that will be borrowed, held in a bank account, not spent, and paid back at the end of a year. Borrowing money just to issue the bond violates common sense. Thus, the Town Council may want to propose amending the Charter language so that a bond does not need to be issued unnecessarily.

Each February, for four days, people watch and count as many birds as they can find and report them with phone apps or on a website. These observations help scientists better understand global bird populations before one of their annual migrations.
