Last
night’s Town Council meeting was lengthy so this recap will
probably be lengthy. I try to keep my opinion out of the recaps but
in this case I have to say that I was impress and moved by the Public
Service Announcement shown during the meeting. The Public Service
Announcement was filmed using Lisbon students and parents and showed
how one bad decision can ruin the lives of so many. I encourage
every one of all ages to review this moving and powerful Public
Service Announcement.
