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.

That would be hard since almost nobody has an opponent, and the filing deadine has passed.

Rebekah Gewirtz (Ward 6) is opposed, but she's been good on this issue (as on most others) and I'd absolutely like to keep her around.

Ok, we'll do that for Rebekah. You're correct there.

At the very least, if I still live here in Somerville this next election, I'm going to write in "none of the above" for the rest of them. Unfortunately, we're not allowed to call for votes of no confidence in our government, and this will have to suffice.
