“There’s a new Sheriff in town!”
Janet Joakim fired back at bloggers today, showing apparent concern regarding town meeting security in light of the recent Kirkwood shootings where six people were killed. On her blog “Seven Villages” Town Council President Janet “Go Ahead Punk” Joakim seems to be very concerned about the possibility of someone going POSTAL at any one of Barnstable’s many town meetings. (Or could this be just another sly attempt to put further restrictions on town meeting commenters? – Or is Joakim really worried?)
Today, Joakim pledged to address the subject of possible mass shootings at public meetings. On her blog Joakim says she will be looking at the issue over the next week or so. Click here to visit Janet’s blog and learn more ——> http://sevenvillagesblog.com/ You go girl!
