I am writing to express my enthusiastic support for Jeff Doyle as a candidate for the Hopkinton Select Board. Jeff is a dedicated, thoughtful, and community-driven individual who I believe is the right person to help lead our town forward.
Jeff brings a strong sense of integrity, transparency, and accountability to everything he does. He understands the importance of balancing responsible growth with preserving the unique character of Hopkinton. Whether it’s working collaboratively with residents, supporting our schools, or advocating for fiscal responsibility, Jeff listens carefully, considers all sides, and makes decisions with the best interests of the entire community in mind.
What sets Jeff apart is his commitment to communication and accessibility. He is not afraid to ask tough questions, and more importantly, he welcomes them from others. As Hopkinton continues to face important decisions about development, infrastructure, and sustainability, we need leaders who are proactive, principled, and truly invested in the town’s future. Jeff Doyle is that leader.
I encourage my fellow residents to vote for Jeff Doyle for the Select Board. Let’s support a candidate who reflects our community’s values and has the skills to help shape a positive future for Hopkinton.
Sincerely,
Paul Ostrander
Hopkinton

You are talking about the letter to the editor I posted from Paul Ostrander? Paul is a friend of mine and I can assure you that he sent a LTE in support of Jeff Doyle. Call and ask him (Ostrander Insurance). Whether or not he used AI to grammar check his letter, or help write the letter before sending it, is none of your (or my) business.
HopNews has NEVER published a letter or approved a comment that was not SENT to us. Every comment is approved by me. I make sure that the comment DOES NOT contain the following: inappropriate language, off-topic comments, personal attacks, spam, and that it’s respectful. Additionally, I have a plugin that randomly checks comments for the same.
These are the policies of HopNews, A.S. If you object to them, I suggest you find another platform. And yes, I did remove some of your inappropriate comments.
I stated that it was AI generated – nothing more.
I find it very interesting that you are so hostile that I called out that it was AI generated. I didn’t assign any concern that it wasn’t done by an authentic individual, only that the content was AI generated.
If you believe that AI generation is acceptable, so be it. However, when someone calls out that it was generated, it’s respectful to allow the response, especially when you publicly question the facts. My response, which you just posted without any modification, was originally removed without posting.
Be better.
You stated “This is AI generated and should be taken down.”
I fully support Jeff Doyle for selectman and would urge every resident to vote for him. If you love Hopkinton, love its history and school system, how could you look at anyone else.The Doyle family is a huge part of our towns foundation and one of the main reasons Hopkinton is not only one of the safest towns to live in Massachusetts, but also in the top 10 school districts in our Commonwealth. My friends, that started with his grandfather, who was an outstanding educator, coach and mentor at the Hopkinton High School for over 40 years. If you are new to town and moved here to make a better place to live for your family, how could you vote for anyone else! A huge part of the foundation Hopkinton was built on, was the cement that the Doyle family provided.
