I never heard of it, is it still around?

Also I saw that the charter to Atlantic city is leaving today at 2:15. The airport website says to call for information. Has anybody taken this flight?

Do you know who runs those Charters?

Believe that Skyline

Or you can charter a VLJ from Linear out of Hanscom.

Ken Brown runs Skyline. Met him once when we tried to meet with the Airport Liaison a couple years back to discuss topics concerning ORH.

He seemed like a very nice guy

Time for a suit of 10 taxpayers again?

I recall in the late 80's when Levy reigned supreme there was the threat of a suit of 10 taxpayers "group" if he and other council members didnt get outta of Mulfords way re: letting Mulford run the day to day operations of the city.

This was back when the city charter was changed to allow a popularly elected "weak" mayor. Also known as Lunch Bucket Democrat mayors, depending on who was holding the office.

Levy & Murray are both Prima Facia cases for no strong mayor in Worc. b/c municipalities need CEO types and not political types to run $500M "companies"

I declare the next 72 hrs rant free unless Sundays paper really sends my pinball machine off balance........then all the bells, whistles & lights will be fired up

BTW does anyone here call their city councillor when their Cable service fails. I only call them when there is a pile of shopping carts in front of my bridge abutment after the snow melts. File Under: Phil the Carter Cable Guy.
