Town seeks early judgment in Wayland crosswalk death case
Wayland Town Crier 8/29/12: Town seeks early judgment in Wayland crosswalk death case. Facing a lawsuit in the crosswalk death of an 80-year-old pedestrian, the town is asking a Superior Court judge to rule in its favor before the case goes to trial. The accident took place in 2008, when Marie Martino was struck by a Ford van and killed in a crosswalk near the corner of West Plain and Mitchell streets, just down the road from her home. Two of her daughters have filed a wrongful death and negligence suit in Middlesex Superior Court in Woburn against the town and NStar seeking an undisclosed sum, citing both the loss of companionship and more than $18,000 in hospital and burial costs.

Attorney: Wayland selectmen letter violated Open Meeting Law
Wayland Town Crier 12/27/11: Attorney: Wayland selectmen letter violated Open Meeting Law. The Board of Selectmen is under fire again from attorney George Harris, who has filed another state Open Meeting Law complaint, this time regarding a guest column written by the board for the Wayland Town Crier’s Dec. 1 issue. The article, referred to at the most recent selectmen meeting as both an “op-ed piece” and a “guest column,” was titled “Tax relief for Wayland”. A draft of the proposed text was emailed by Chairman Tom Fay to the other board members for review prior to their Nov. 28 meeting. Harris, a former Wayland selectman, says Fay and Selectman John Bladon, who wrote the draft, violated the Open Meeting Law by sharing opinions with a quorum of the board in a non-public forum.
