I would like to thank The Herald owner, editor and publisher Tim Calabro for making The Herald articles available online for free to research this report. Without the publicity and information provided by our local hometown newspaper, we lose a critical leg of our democratic system.
Please support The Herald! Please say - Thank You, Tim!
The following is a list of The Herald articles on the topic of expanding police coverage in Randolph. Consider how much time and effort has been spent by officials dealing with the town vs. village debate. Randolph voters have been arguing this topic consistently for over 30 years.
Did we argue about who should pay for the new firehouse in the village in 2015? No, we did not.
The firehouse cost $2.4 million dollars, a significant expense. Could the village afford to do that without taxing the entire town? Definitely not.
Does the firehouse in the village benefit East and Randolph Center? Yes, it does, it provides coverage in the event of an emergency.
Why is police coverage strictly a village problem?
