On the article Westford Farmers' Market Will Return for Seventh Season

Hi Wes,
That can be said for all polls, they're basically just representations of a cross section of society at a certain point in time.
As for the police detail, it was said at the meeting, and earlier meetings, that it would have to be paid by Sustainable Westford.

ReplyNone taken Brian, it says right at the bottom that they're not scientific.
Once upon a time I could figure out the number for getting the necessary sample size for a +/- 5% margin of error with a 95 or 98% confidence interval, but it's been a long time and it wouldn't be cost effective timewise for me to do it, to be honest with you, even if we narrowed down the population from near infinity like most U.S. Presidential polls to only Westford residents.

Sure! Do me a favor, let's wait until after Apple Blossom. Things are going to be jam packed for the next few days.

Hi again Donna,
No tenants were mentioned during the Planning Board meeting. We did link to a story on a plaza they developed down in Connecticut that mentioned stores there.
Here's the link to the story -- http://chelmsford.patch.com/articles/planning-board-gets-first-take-at-new-look-for-old-stop-shop-site

Hi Donna,
You might be referring to the stores in the plaza down in Connecticut built by the developer, there was a link to a story on that plaza in the story last week.

Hi Jim,
Just to clarify what was said above, and what I heard at last night's meeting -- the town wouldn't pay for the detail, the Market would. As stated in earlier articles, it's unclear if they could afford it.
Also, the cost would depend on the officer, and whether or not they'd be on overtime.

Hi Jack,
I do not recall any mentioning of "firing" in any documents, people I talked to or any School Committee meetings. Can you clarify where you got your information?
