I agree with her. In fact I already thought we had been doing this:
- some politicos vote whereever no matter where they live
- State Senators live in Boston while representing Worcester
- city councilors change to voting addresses to their mom's house
On a serious note maybe we should consider letting people who do not live in the City of Worcester serve on boards? The only requirement being that they must be a tax-payer in the City of Worcester.

Which State Senators live in Boston?
Currently no State Senators do not live in their district. I was referring to a prior State Senator
You know I was thinking today that now Worc cannot even support a Chevy Dealership. Chevrolet.......the classic All American, common man, Average Joe-mobile.
This is a crying shame and speaks volumes about the citys demographics. It also reminds me that we cannot support a McD's or a Burger King in the central business district.
Instead we have more & more low end used car lots.
I read in the Herald today that Lowell is launching a massive "arts district" initiative with the conversion of an old mill(s) to artists lofts /residences. I will take long haired, pot smoking artists before low income projects any day. I might even buy a piece of their art, too.
