2. Reader Comment of the Day: "I think it was pretty clear O'Brien was not addressing the $2.3 million Reading payment in any way. Very unfortunate for the biggest revenue producer (Wilmington) for RMLD. I do appreciate that we have very few outages in my area, as compared to other towns. I know it's a combination of many factors, but I do appreciate it nonetheless. Back to the drawing board to see where we can cut back," reader webmom commenting on the article, Wilmington Selectmen Voice Concern Over Looming RMLD Rate Hikes.
