Wicked Local
Of all the items on the Select Board's agenda tonight, the one most likely to draw in the crowds -- virtually -- is the discussion about whether the town should stop recognizing Columbus Day and start honoring Indigenous Peoples Day.
The bitterly disputed item passed in March, when it was on the ballot as a non-binding referendum, but the board will vote on the matter when it meets tonight. The Select Board has set aside an hour, from 6:30 to 7:30, on its agenda.
To join in Citizen's Speak, residents seeking to participate in Citizen Speak or any other agenda item should email sel@wellesleyma.gov prior to the meeting and a number will be assigned for speakers. All residents seeking to participate will call into 1-781-489-7525, (Conference Line) and await the announcement of their assigned number to speak. Individuals wishing to participate who have not received a number will be asked at the end of the agenda item if they would like to speak.
