In my MG story, the mayor of the town my characters live in wants to change the name of the town. While the town is entirely fictional, it's located in the state of Massachusetts (something never mentioned in the story). My question is, given that it's MA and that I'm not all aware of government policy in those parts, or even government policy in general, what's the process the mayor would go through in getting the town name changed?
Or is it actually someone else who does it?
And I don't know if this would help or not, but the mayor's plan isn't very welcome to most of the town citizens and they end up having an angry riot on the steps of the Town Hall. I guess from there they'd hold a town meeting?
It's not a large, industrial city, BTW. Population is small.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
