📰 News we're reading
• New Shoreham Conservation Commission Recording Falls Short (upriseri.com) — New Shoreham residents expecting a full recording of this week's Conservation Commission Zoom meeting will only find a few seconds of audio about software problems, with no agenda items, motions, or votes captured. That means there's effectively no audio record of any commission actions from this session, so residents should watch for upcoming agendas and notices to follow the panel's work.
