Thanks Amber,
On that note, one thing I should add is I have dealt with literally thousands of PR people and Dan Phelps at Nashoba Tech is in the top 2. Whenever I can, I let him sit back and do his work.

It might have been. I've actually had slower service there in the past. All I know is that's what I got from the average of the three tests I did from that website.

That's weird. Let's contact the help desk folks, sounds like a technical problem.

ReplyThanks Andrew and Bob,
I can add the overall list of motions and what days they were on and what they meant as well, they're on the four separate recaps, but I understand it's a bit unwieldy sifting through them all.

Thanks Mike! 8 more precincts to go!
John, not sure. You'll have to ask them. If any of them tell me, I'll pass it along, and all reps are welcome to explain their votes here. (on that note, please remember that all users in the comments section, including reps, are to be treated under the "Golden Rule", per the terms of use)
I did see at one point one rep say there was a problem with the voting devices, but if that was widespread, I'm guessing the moderator would have had it addressed.

You'll have to ask your fellow readers, when I remove comments, I say something.
If three people flag them inappropriate, they get removed from the site, so I assume that's what happened.

None taken, Amber.
I can shed some light on the media focus regarding those high schools though. During the two years I've been here, I've found that I just cannot generally get people to pay attention to Nashoba Tech.
During my first fall here, I went out to basically the border of New York State to cover a football game that Nashoba Tech was playing and believe it or not, if I recall correctly, the total readership on that article was about 50 times less than the article on the Westford Academy game a week earlier.
If I get a chance, I'll go back and check, I still vividly remember that was one of the least read articles we ever had.
On Notre Dame Academy, that's in Tyngsboro, and we generally try to cover only Westford or Westford-related things, barring the occasional regional pieces.
We might have something about a Westford kid in there, but without that, it wouldn't really fit here.

Hi Donald,
Patch generally focuses on local and hyperlocal issues for most of our content.
If there's something relating to the tragedy in Oklahoma in your town, let your local editor know or spread the word on your own.
