• South Shore News...letter: Local Aid Dries Up (southshore.news) — Plymouth residents face a tightening state-aid picture, with local leaders noting the town receives only about a third of Medford's unrestricted aid despite similar size, even as statewide revenue caps loom. At the same time, Select Board chair Deborah Iaquinto has imposed stricter debate rules to rein in contentious meetings that have drawn unwanted headlines. Together, these shifts could shape how Plymouth debates budgets, services, and future tax decisions.
