Only the hum of a helicopter and the cry of a baby could be heard on the Hopkinton Town Common as hundreds of people stood in silence Thursday in memory of 16-year-old Mikayla Miller.
The vigil and rally drew a sizable crowd in response to the death of Miller, a teenager whose life was cut short far too early.
“Nothing I say today is going to take away the pain that we all are experiencing in this new world without Mikayla, but my hope is that by sharing a little about her life, our life, it will help you get to know more about her,” Miller’s mother, Calvina Strothers, said at the rally.
FRAMINGHAM The deep discord between Mayor Yvonne Spicer’s office and members of the City Council was on display again during a listening session on reimagining the city’s businesses post-pandemic.
At the conclusion of the forum which was broadcast Thursday on Zoom a hot microphone picked up a conversation between Jennique Horrigan, Spicer’s executive assistant, and the mayor. During the conversation, Horrigan accused District 4 City Councilor Michael Cannon of flooding the Zoom chat with questions and comments.
“What killed me was Mr. Cannon flooding the chat room,” Horrigan said after the forum concluded. “This isn’t for you. You’re not a business owner.”
