SUMMARY:October Mattapoisett DTC Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Mattapoisett Democratic Town Committee Meeting\n📅 Wednesday\, October 1\, 2025\n🕕 6:00 PM\n📍 Mattapoisett Library Meeting Room \nJoin us for our October meeting as we welcome Regina McIntyre\, who will be representing Indivisible South Coast. Regina will share information about the organization and meaningful ways to get involved locally in defending democracy. \nAbout Our Speaker:\nRegina McIntyre was born and raised in New Bedford as the sixth of seven children in a family rooted in community and patriotism. With family ties to civic engagement dating back to her grandmother’s citizenship in 1926\, Regina grew up inspired by the legacy of voting\, public service\, and President Kennedy’s call to action. \nShe earned her degree in Political Science from Stonehill College and went on to an extraordinary career in public service\, including roles as a Special Agent with the FBI\, Naval Criminal Investigative Service\, and the Environmental Protection Agency’s Criminal Investigations Division. Over 28 years\, she investigated cases ranging from coal mining operations to Clean Air Act violations\, before retiring to Mattapoisett in 2013. \nToday\, Regina is an active member of the Mattapoisett Dems\, a board member and secretary at Gallery X in New Bedford\, and a Fine Arts student at UMass Dartmouth. She joined Indivisible South Coast because she believes in taking peaceful\, concrete action to defend democracy in the face of unprecedented threats. \n“I chose Indivisible because the people involved are smart\, thoughtful\, and committed. It feels good to be working together toward a common goal—and to be ‘doing something\,’” Regina says. \nThis promises to be an inspiring evening with practical ideas for civic engagement. All are welcome—bring a friend!

SUMMARY:Mattapoisett Special Town Meeting Oct 4th
DESCRIPTION:The May 12\, 2025 Town Meeting already decided the question of expanding our Select Board. That vote was the true referendum. What’s been scheduled for October 4 is\, in reality\, a taxpayer-funded stunt that will cost the town at least $3\,500.\nDespite the Select Board labeling it a “non-binding referendum\,” this meeting will not change the outcome of the May vote. What it can become\, however\, is a clear statement about the importance of honoring the will of the people at Town Meeting. If residents show up and overwhelmingly reject this attempt to revisit settled business\, we can send a strong message that our community respects the democratic process.\nOpponents may see October 4 as a political exercise. We see it as an opportunity to affirm good governance and to show that Mattapoisett stands by decisions made in open\, democratic Town Meetings.\nThank you to everyone who has already reached out with support. It means the world. Together\, we can ensure the will of the people is upheld.
