City of Groton mayor? Why is there a City of Groton at all?

February 28, 2021 11:00 pm • Last Updated: March 01, 2021 4:12 pm

With all the brouhaha about the candidacy of Aundré Bumgardner for mayor of Groton City, why doesn’t the community of Groton do what many people have been suggesting for decades; make Groton one political entity? The fact that there are two systems of government in a relatively small town the size of Groton, with numerous overlapping and redundant services, is politically ridiculous and economically foolish. We are now well into the 21st century and it is time for Groton Town/Groton City to stop being the laughingstock of the country.
