Seahawks vs. Broncos tailgate parties, like this one in 2010, will be a familiar scene this weekend. In Shelburne, planning officials will be hosting a tailgate to talk about zoning along Route 7.

Public Post reports on a petition to close the public elementary school in Westford; a public bank initiative that's appearing on some Town Meeting warnings and efforts to get the public involved in Shelburne zoning changes.

Broadcast on Saturday, February 1, 2014 at 9:35 a.m.

Here's a sampling of the week's Public Post Twitter updates from Morristown, Alburgh, Middlesex, Greensboro and more:
