The Street Name Retreat
An Update.
The Board of Selectmen in Mansfield voted last night 3-0 to reverse their earlier decision to change the name of one of the streets from Giles Place to Ronald Reagan Way. This was in response to letters from Democrats in town (see below) and appeals from the Giles family who'd been blindsided by the name change. (The Giles family gave the land the street is on to the town decades ago).
The good guys won! I didn't see the BOS meeting but I'm told they were sheepish and chagrined and they quietly voted to reverse themselves without any discussion.
