Dear Jim, If you would, take four minutes and listen to this: CLICK HERE. I’ll warn you, Jim, the audio quality is poor, and I sound super nervous and, embarrassingly, a little frustrated, which, to be fair, was exactly how I was feeling in reaction to a bunch of educated, white, middle-aged women who were […]

Hey, Chief, The last time you and I were in the same room was March 7, 2014, when I stopped by your enormous corner office at Littleton Police Department to hand you a copy of my letter of resignation from our town’s Board of Selectmen. Remember how I took a seat across from you with […]
