Actually doing something worthwhile is a sure-fire way to get targetted by the Obama regime.
Bottled water was causing 80% of the crime in Concord.
We will be in depression when America ceases to buy bottled water.
Purchasing that which is readily available and essentially free is indicative of societal madness
They got 767 people to show up at a meeting and vote on this measure?!?
Do any of these people have jobs?!
Water... who cares?
What I want to know is the result of their vote on a local income tax. This would be in ADDITION TO the property tax. Evidently, 2 1/2 % increase (before any overrides) per year is not enough to support the union pensions and health care plans.
Oh, and what about the cat leash law? Inquiring minds want to know!!
This wouldn’t bother me, as I only ever drink Diet Coke anyway.
Liberalism at its finest - foster a system where fools pay a buck for a product that should go 10 for a penny and then bitch about the damage it does to the Earth. Then try to “fix” it with regulations that either do nothing beneficial, or causes more harm. The sad thing is that they get a way with the lunacy time and again and the great herds of sheep that now populate the fruited plains never look up from the grazing at the government’s (taxpayers) teat.
Five’ll get you eight that Roche Brothers in Acton was behind this. Like their damn parking lot wasn’t already crowded enough.
Notice it was only 400 out of about 18,000 residents who voted for this. When the moonbats tried to close the town dump old farts in their battalions turned out to vote them down. So the Concord Town Dump continues in operation a couple hundred yards north of Walden Pond ;)
My grandson likes me to take him over to the Concord playground on weekends. (Lots of out of towners congregate there, it’s really nice, but mostly it has a critical mass of kids.) We often eat lunch at the New London Pizzeria opposite the train station, couple of blocks away. He usually likes to have a bottled water with his slice of cheese pizza. Now, it’ll have to be apple juice. Nice job saving the world, moonbats.
OK, how about this? Concord, MA Live Free Or Dry
Hey, that dihydrogen-monoxide stuff is really, really dangerous. They were just thinking of the chillun.
Only fitting it dies in its home state.
:: actually doing something worthwhile isn’t the point. “Making a really huge statement” is. ::
Now she can tell all her Boston friends that Concord is morally superior to Boston because “We made A STATEMENT!, We are SOMEBODY!”
Hippies. They say they want to save the wolrd but all they do is smoke dope and smell bad.

Other than, perhaps, Berkeley, California and Cambridge, Massachusetts, it doesn’t get much farther Left than Concord, Massachusetts. Probably to the Left, these days, of both Moscow and Beijing.
Ironically, the per capita income in Thoreau’s old stamping ground is among the highest in the world.
Go figure.
My Religion is “Prepper” and their banning sales of precious bottled water is religious discrimination.
Where is the ACLU? Can they pickup the courtesy phone?
Yes, there is a Starbucks but it has a tiny parking lot because most of the people that go there ride bicycles. The men wear Birkenstock sandals and the main drag in town has all these quaint shops (example below) with overpriced items.
Liberals are busy bodies. It’s always one excuse or another.
What will happen is that Concord shoppers will go to neighboring towns where they can buy their water without harassment.
