21:11 < srevilak> Agenda:
21:11 < srevilak>
        https://masspirates.org/wiki/September_15th,_2022_IRC_Meeting
21:12 < srevilak> We were just chatting about the Oct conference
21:18 < srevilak> Was looking for info on next set of local elections,
        and discovered there's a fourth ballot question for MA
21:18 < srevilak>
        https://www.sec.state.ma.us/ele/ele22/information-for-voters-22/quest_4.htm
21:19 < srevilak> On question 4:
21:19 < srevilak> A YES VOTE would keep in place the law, which would
        allow Massachusetts residents who cannot provide proof of lawful presence
        in the United States to obtain a driver’s license or permit if they
        meet the other requirements for doing so.
21:19 < srevilak> A NO VOTE would repeal this law.
21:41 < srevilak> that's all I have for this evening.  Goodnight all
