Let’s treat cell service like a utility
293 attendants decided for nearly 14,000 adult residents whether better cell service mattered.
I honor traditions like Town Meeting. And while some issues are well debated there, I submit not all issues are best resolved there.
Around 10:45 p.m. on the Tuesday of Town Meeting, 293 attendants decided for nearly 14,000 adult residents whether better cell service mattered.
I suggest cell service has become a utility that residents and visitors to historic Acton rightly expect.
Whether Town Meeting was the best or only venue is a legal topic. But a late-night vote on a weekday with a diminished voter pool seems inadequate at best.
I encourage methods to address the issues involved by considering reliable cell access viewed as a utility, and the current bylaw dealt with in a more representative manner.
