They did that in Walpole too, kept bringing up the override to build a library until a low turnout came with lots of their supporters . These type goons don't give up, neither should we !A while back there was a proposal to build an access road for the Worcester Airport. Four local residents managed to make enough noise to shut it down. They called themselves Residents Opposing Access Road (ROAR).
In Shrewsbury, the locals keep putting Prop 2.5 override questions on the ballet until they finally get an election with a low enough turnout so they win. They did this with the Fire Department and Library.
Wayne needs to keep vigilant.
Cool.
Anyone here who does Facebook? Maybe you could post this "gofundme" link on the West Boylston neighbor helping neighbor business page. THAT would be awesome!

Any lawyers care to chime in on the chances that this lack of postponement will screw Wayne? What can be done to limit the possibility that the town might ram something through?Unfortunately not. We have asked to postpone but they said they can not. So we had to have the fundraiser after ! We hope you can make it though.

That was exactly my concern. Hopefully we're wrong...I served as chairman of my town's Development & Industrial Commission for 25 years and attended more ZBA and Planning Board meetings/hearings than I care to count. I never heard of a refusal to postpone a meeting/hearing when requested by an affected party, it just never happened here . . . and believe me, they were not at all business-friendly. I do think that there is a procedural requirement to postpone if requested but I'll bet it has to be done only by the affected party/attorney for same and most likely by Certified Mail. It's certainly worth someone up there checking the MGLs on how ZBAs and Planning Boards operate and their requirements for hearings.
From a distance, I'm reading into this that it's a bag job they want to complete before the affected party returns and is able to put up an argument why he shouldn't be shut down. Ergo, it's dirty politics at its finest!
If it is just one douchebag instigating it, throw them under the bus and publicly out them everywhere. Then gather the rest who are behind this, and out them, as well.
Nothing will be gained by engaging in provocative actions. Continuing to support Wayne by engaging in commerce with him, asking permission to use his private range area, and contributing to any legal defense fund he has is our best course of action.Yes let's protest his house. Lets make them squirm now.

Our goal should be to show we are rational, responsible and reasonable shooters, not to provoke, inflame, or antagonize anyone on either side of the debate. Education as to Wayne's rights, and our rights as firearm owners is how change will come about.
Lawyers are going back and forth with the board. I'd give the play by play if I had brought a laptop and wasn't typing on my phone
