March 15, Will Bridgewater see an Article on the CPA (Community Preservation Act) at Town Election? Peter Colombotos, working with many in the community, gathered more than 900 signatures and presented them to the Town Clerk on Monday morning.  Pending certification of signatures, it appears that the question will be on the Town Election ballot on April 23rd.  This issue should bring more voters out to the polls on election day.    For more info on the "pro" side of the issue:            http://www.communitypreservation.org       http://mywebpages.comcast.net/Colombotos/flier.doc       http://www.bridgewaterma.org/cpa    As a service to Mr. Colombotos, the many who are working with him on the issue, and for everyone in the community, I included those links.  At this point, I am not declaring my support for the issue.  There are some intriguing positives to the program, and some concerns that will require further study. {Note that on 3/18/05, I added an additional link and reworded a sentence for clarity.}
