Grafton Town Meeting was last asked to join the Northborough-based Central Mass. Mosquito Control Project in 2007. That request, like two others before it, failed to gain the approval of voters, many of whom expressed concern about the health of honey bee hives in town.

As a community we have put our citizens at great risk. This is especially true of those at the opposite ends of the life spectrum.
Today is not soon enough.
The ban on mosquito spraying here in Grafton is going to come back and bite you, all of you.
As I said before, if you don't pay! you don't get! The word Massachusetts sounds inclusive, but is misleading.
The reality is, pay up and spray, or some may die! If not, "butterflies and bees" may flourish along with the misquitos.
YUP!!!!!!!!
Enough with the polls and the discussion and get it done.
