As limited as the police resources are, I certainly don't want them spending their time chasing down every kid out past 9:00 pm. I want them chasing every kid and ADULT that's out at ANY hour causing more »

Comment on: PAYT%20panel%20discussion%20reignites%20old%20fight%20

Forum Post: Towns that actually did PAYT studies
If Malden approached PAYT like these towns did, I would support it. I recycle more and throw out less trash than probably 99% of residents, so having people pay for their own trash instead of using m more »
