More on Parking

An article in the Somerville Journal quotes Alderman Pero as saying "city officials can't give in to constituent concerns."  Huh?  Isn't this otherwise known as listening to the people who voted you into office?  And will vote you out?  I understand they haven't come up with the right answer yet, but this statement is arrogant and lame.

Confusingly, the article states that the vote was 6 to 5 against, but then lists 5 aldermen voting against and 6 voting for. Anyone know what actually happened on that note?

Since the vote went though, I'm pretty sure that the 1st isa misprint...
