ron_newmanSome time this week, the Porter Square Shaw's turned back into a Star Market. Is the parent chain preparing to undo the 1999 merger of Shaw's and Star?
some more Somerville city election links
Nov. 1st, 2013 11:59 pmron_newman[adding to what I posted on Tuesday]
The SCATV program "Greater Somerville" has produced two episodes about the upcoming election:
October 29: 2013 Election Special
October 9: 2013 Candidates Speak
The Weekly Dig's endorsements (scroll to bottom of article). Some of the Dig's statements -- that "City Hall there is essentially run like a pay-to-play political machine in 1952" and "the apparent criminal enterprise that is the All-America City" -- strike me as hyperbolic.
The Somerville Times endorsements, which are pretty much the opposite of the Somerville Journal endorsements.
The Times endorsement editorial contains at least one serious factual error: it attacks Ward 5 alderman candidate Mark Niedergang with a claim that he lobbied for the city retirement board to divest from Israeli bonds. In fact, he lobbied AGAINST such divestment. (I should know; I was sitting next to him at the Board of Aldermen meeting on this subject.)
