The City Council might refer to you as Crack Pipe , or crack pot... but I give you kudos for your investigative reporting. Maybe we should add a hyphen to your name, too?
Kudos to Rushton & Toomey, both of whom I often disagree with, re their vote against teh vendor pushcart ordinance.
I am sitting here asking myself if this will effectively ban vendor pushcarts from the downtown area and I am also wondering how long until I pick up the T&G and read that the pushcart vendors have organized and contacted a lawyer re a law that just about precludes them from doing business in the city's so called central business district.
Whats with all teh bru-haaaaaa about the new pocket park being opened? God you might think it was the 2nd coming of Christ!
A 1/4 acre park is going to save the 'hood?? My God!
Too bad we dont have few pols thaat would put similar diligence into the airport situation.
I hope we dont have bad guys & pajama people chilling there...given the towering elderly complex across the street..........and the park advocacy folks are going raise money (or inkind services?) to help with the park maintenace???......I find that very interesting and quite possibly short-lived.
Meanwhile the oldest park in AMerica and a beuatiful one at that, is prob still not utilized to cpacity and its only a 5 minute walk across a couple of city blocks.
I saw a on Fox news this morning about the Boston city council wants all council meetings to be held behind closed doors. Will Worcester also support closed door council meetings too? How about instead of a council or strong mayor we just appoint a King or Queen?
having watched the city council meeting last night Tim, one of the councilors (forget which one) suggested the next airport commission meeting be televised (at their approval).
i don't think you can have meetings closed to the public. Still have to post minutes. Maybe they meant Boston meeting not to be televised
1) Free parking was brought up by several councilors. 2) Councilor Clancy brought up a great point that once you arrive in Punta Gorda you may be stuck unless a car rental place opens. 3) Councilor Petty suggested next Airport Commission meeting should be on television.
There was no mention of from what I saw of
1) savings if we downgrade to GA 2) RFP of entire airport 3) what did Avports say
Televise the commission "at their approval". The heck with that. They are subject to open meeting law, get WCCA TV camera volunteers they'll shoot the meeting. They did for the cable meetings. Watching the cable advisory meetings were nothing less than an embarrassing view of Worstever Mass government in-action. Tape them meeting with Bill providing live commentary. That would be cool. The reality though, as with other issues, the council only cares about what benefits their own pockets and nothing else. Follow the money. The issue with Direct Air is it is not really going to location the market wants. That is way the scam will no not leave the ground for very long.

Six of these councillors are really hot dogs, IMO

I watched some of the city council last night.

Under the Massachusetts Open Meeting Law, you can only close the meeting to the public for specific reasons.
Also, you cannot prevent a public meeting from being televised or recorded.
I've been tempted to go to an ORH meeting, set up a camcorder, and publish the meeting on youtube. I just haven't had the time.
