Brookline Brookline legal residents who arent U.S. citizens could secure the right to vote in local elections, if Town Meeting members and state lawmakers back a proposal filed by the towns school committee chairwoman.
Rebecca Stone, a Town Meeting member from Precinct 3 and chairwoman of the School Committee, said the proposal is a positive way to push back against anti-immigrant attitudes at the state and national level.
Rather than simply condemning what we dont like and saying this is a terrible thing, maybe there is something we can do in Brookline that [shows] we have a different attitude toward immigrants, said Stone.
