Northampton council passes resolutions in regard to added surveillance downtown

Last Thursday, Northampton council passed a series of resolutions dealing with a variety of issues. 

The resolutions, although not legally-binding, express the council’s views. Yet, these resolutions  can also lead to legislature that will enact the ideas of these resolutions.
