Letter: Westport Shorelines’ Town Meeting coverage appreciated

Thanks and a tip of the hat to Westport Shorelines this week for their extensive coverage of Westport's Annual Town Meeting, June 5. If you couldn't go, at least you can read what went on. And lots did.

To quote the Talking Politics column in the same edition, "research has found that government is worse off when local news suffers". Support Westport Shorelines. Subscribe. For the sake of our town!

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
