Hopkinton Today: Wednesday, May 8

by | May 8, 2024 | Featured: Features, Hopkinton Today

Good morning, Hopkinton! Welcome to the daily update we call Hopkinton Today — a quick recap of yesterday’s news, highlights of what’s on tap, and a photo of the day.

Supporters of fired Hopkinton Police Sgt. Tim Brennan got a major moral victory Tuesday at the Hopkinton Middle School auditorium, as Special Town Meeting overwhelmingly supported a citizens’ petition to direct the Select Board to reappoint Brennan. The vote was 220-99, with a simple majority required for passage. Resident Karen Crum presented on behalf of the Brennan supporters and acknowledged that “this motion is symbolic,” because Town Meeting is not the appointing authority for police officers.

The Hopkinton Chinese American Association and the South Asian Circle of Hopkinton are celebrating Asian American Heritage Month in May. On Friday, May 10, from 7-8 p.m., there will be a free culinary medicine virtual workshop for Asian power bowls, including a live meal prep demonstration.
