📰 News we're reading

• Residents rally against Amazon as it seeks to bring drone delivery to Central Massachusetts (communityadvocate.com) — Amazon's proposed drone delivery hub in Westborough would fly hundreds of small packages daily across a 7.5‑mile radius that fully covers Grafton, raising environmental, privacy, and safety worries. Residents from surrounding towns questioned noise, sky congestion, and lack of local control, since only Westborough officials will vote on the launch pads while Grafton neighbors still live under the flight paths.
   

• Criminal – Stalking (masslawyersweekly.com) — A Massachusetts Appeals Court decision upholding stalking and related convictions is the main focus here, but a brief note also reports that former Grafton Selectmen Chair Bruce W. Spinney III has pleaded guilty to federal charges. The newsletter-style roundup highlights several high‑profile legal developments, offering Grafton readers quick context on cases involving public officials and statewide court trends.
