Ten years ago, this town was different. Back when people still locked their doors at night, not because they were scared but just as a habit. Now, we've got news that's bound to leave you wondering if things have gone too far.

Nicole Daedone, the founder of OneTaste — that group folks whisper about over coffee and doughnuts — has been handed down nine years in prison. Nine years for what used to be a discussion topic at your local library.

What's changed since then? Well, I've lived here 40 years, and there’s no denying it: the air feels different now.

This isn't the first time something like this has happened either. Remember when that guy got into trouble for growing his own vegetables?

The pattern is there — someone does something out of the ordinary, and suddenly they're in handcuffs or worse, behind bars for a decade.

And now Daedone joins those ranks. But let’s not sugarcoat it; she had her share of critics from day one. Yet nine years? That's an awful lot of time to think about your life choices.

The real question is, where does this end?

If you thought the days of personal freedoms were a thing of the past, well, that was before the OneTaste sentencing hit us all in the gut.
