A few years ago, my daughter and I visited my mother in Bangladesh for six weeks. My child wasn’t excited about being cooped up in Nanu’s modest apartment in the heart of Dhaka, the congested capital city. She didn’t have the luxury of playing in.

AMHERST The town’s Board of Registrars is expected to meet Friday to determine how to handle affidavits submitted by residents who claim their signatures were inappropriately invalidated on a Jones Library project voter veto petition drive.
Town Manager Paul Bockelman told the Town Council Monday that the meeting will come after a 14-day period to appeal the certification of signatures by the town clerk’s office. The petitioners did begin challenging the signature count immediately after it was announced.
The town clerk’s review of petition sheets showed 842 people signed the voter veto petition to bring the $36.3 million expansion and renovation of the library to a townwide referendum. The number was less than the 864 people, or 5% of voters as of the November 2019 town election, needed to trigger such action.
