Wayland Town Crier 10/7/10: Is Chapter 40B worth it? A look at ballot Question 2. Advocates on both sides of ballot Question 2 agree that Massachusetts needs more affordable housing.

Opponents and proponents of Chapter 40B will speak during a public forum on Thursday October 14 at the Wayland Senior Center. The forum is sponsored in part by the Wayland Housing Partnership, the Wayland Housing Authority and the League of Women Voters.
