The Choice of Weston Selectman Was Not Even Close
The official tally in the election race for selectman was, as a Bruins fan would say, a “squeakah” with a difference of only 21 votes.

LETTER: Vote Sandalls and Boshart
The follow is a letter to the editor.
The following is a letter to the editor. Please vote on May 11th for Bill Sandalls for Selectman and Harvey Boshart for Moderator, based on facts, not personal attacks. Your votes can affect our town policies and public discourse for years to come, for better or worse. In last Thursday’s Town Crier, Christopher Houston produced a 952 word pile of bile last week attacking Sandalls’ previous public letters and columns over the past year without quoting from any of them. Sandalls has attended most Selectmen’s Meetings and other municipal gatherings over the past two years, and cited facts and figures in each letter in both the Crier and Weston Patch unlike Mr. Houston, who ignored Sandalls’ service on the Finance, School & WTMAC bodies. Most …

Letter: Reflections on the Upcoming Caucus, Election and Town Meeting
Resident Isabella Jancourtz offers some thoughts on the upcoming political events in Weston in this letter to Weston Patch.
Weston's town caucus is coming up on Monday, March 11, and I'm looking forward to seeing who's running. Of course, you don't have to attend the caucus to be on the ballot. You may, instead, collect 50 or more signatures of your fellow voters and file them with the town clerk by March 22. Unfortunately, attending the caucus may not tell you much about the people running because the tradition is for them not to speak, but to be nominated by a friend. That may have worked well back when everybody knew everybody else in Weston, but not so much these days. I hope we start a new tradition this year at the caucus, actually seeing and hearing from the candidates before we vote for them. We discussed this issue at the now disbanded Weston Town …
