TAUNTON As the election season for Taunton City Council gets going, Taunton Diversity Network gave Taunton s youth a chance to have their concerns addressed by current city councilors.
During a question and answer session over Zoom Councilors Barry Sanders, Phil Duarte and David Pottier fielded questions ranging from explaining why the City Council recently raised the number of retail marijuana licenses it can give out, to their thoughts on the controversial proposed Aries Clean Technologies gasification plant.
The first two questions, posed by Taunton teen Charlotte Post, at the event Wednesday night were about vaping a public health issue that was prominent before the pandemic and what the city is doing to combat it, as well as why the City Council voted to raise the number of retail marijuana licenses.
