State aid swallowed by snow and ice, a spot of crime, youth theatre and an ice cream social this week in Lexington.
We started this week with an invitation – to you, readers – asking Lexingtonians to help us create a passport to your hometown, which we’ll reveal as a series in a few weeks. There’s still time to participate, so don’t be shy. Monday afternoon’s police logs contained reports of partying and copper thefts, which we explained in greater detail on the next morning. Tuesday’s coverage of the Town Manager Carl Valente’s report to the Board of Selectmen explained that the state’s local aid numbers were encouraging, but the surplus funds will be eaten up by the deficit in the snow and ice budget.

Police in Lexington are investigating the reported theft of more than $25,000 worth of copper cords from a commercial building on Hartwell Avenue.
