Mike Barry of Kilsythe Road, Arlington, submitted this letter to the editor:
Thanks to Special Town Meeting on May 8 for sticking with local issues and voting “No Action” on Article 5, which would have prcolaimed support for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
he current situation is horrible. But this is NOT an issue for the Arlington town government. It takes focus from local tough issues we should be working on solving, and can actually influence.
Plus it’s just very divisive and tries to boil down a very complex and nuanced situation that has been centuries in the making into sound bites.
