Many Watertown residents have been annoyed – to say the least - by loud outdoor music now
permitted at town venues. This has seriously affected the quality of life of residents who live close to the
sources. The current ineffective noise ordinance contains happy talk about respecting the quality of life
for all, but it is just talk. The problem needs to be solved, not only talked about.
After more than a year of hearing complaints and promising action, the Republican-controlled Town
Council has only given lip service to the issue which has bounced between the Council and the
Ordinance Subcommittee. The phony illusion of progress is offensive to the citizens who need help.
If you are not affected by the noise problem, be happy, but stay alert. The next residential
neighborhood unilaterally changed for the worse by actions of the Republican-controlled Council or
Planning and Zoning Commission could be yours.
Before this happens, check out the Independent Party website at www.watertownindependents.org,
where you can see that passing an effective noise ordinance is a priority. Discover other situations
where Republican-controlled government actions messed up various neighborhoods. For over a decade,
the Independent Party has helped citizens ignored by their Town government. But real changes can only
be made by electing all the Independent Party candidates, making them the Town Council majority
party.
A strong Independent Party protects all citizens, not just insiders.
You can make the future brighter if you vote for all the Independent candidates for Town Council on
November 2. Row C.
Sincerely,
