Wayland Town Crier 8/26/12: Wayland's Susan Pope looks back on political career. After spending almost 30 years serving the town of Wayland – as a member of the School Committee, the Finance Committee, and the Board of Selectmen, and as a state representative on Beacon Hill – Susan Pope is taking a well-deserved rest. But don’t count her out. “I love politics. I love town politics. And I still might jump in again at some point,” she says.
