Your Voice
Your Voice Matters
Your vote is your stand on issues that are important to you - What do the people who want to represent you plan on doing in office? We offered candidates the opportunity to tell us, in our Candidate Spotlight and Candidate Forums, and several took us up on it- click below to hear from the people who are asking for your vote!
PACTV staff quoted civic leaders to encourage people to vote in this fun PSA.

Remembering Officer Dyer
In 2008, Duxbury Police Officer Melvin Dyer was on traffic duty at the Marshfield Fair when he was struck and killed by a car that failed to stop. Duxbury Police held a special ceremony this past August to honor him, and we were there to learn more about Officer Dyer, and about how this incident has changed safety regulations regarding police in traffic and work zones.
