Hopkinton Questions Political Party Caucuses for Town Elections

SHARE NOW

Should Hopkinton eliminate political party caucuses for local elections? That’s a question being posed by a group that wants it on the warrant for the Fall Special Town Meeting. Organizers tell the Hopkinton Independent it stems from the discovery that former  Democratic Town Committee Chair Darlene Hayes had used fake anonymous postings on local news sites to denigrate political rivals running for the School Committee. Those pushing for the warrant article say they want to decrease partisan politics in the Town.
