Sith Lord Evidenced at Acton Board of Selectmen meeting!
Friday, January 16, 2009
The Acton Forum has uncovered incontrovertible evidence of the presence of a dark Sith Lord 
at a recent Board of Selectmen meeting. No one can deny the evidence, which is presented unaltered from the broadcast.
Who is this Sith Lord among us, and what are his (or her) plans for Acton? Does it have something to do with our budget woes? Is he (or she) training an apprentice?
We need your help! Watch the video and see if you can determine from the evidence presented who is the mysterious stranger among us!
