Cutting Property Tax?

[enochs-fable.livejournal.com]

Deval Patrick wants to cut the property tax. Wouldn't that impact school funding, since that's where the money comes from? Can anybody cite sources in how that would work?

( if this is too off-topic, I apologize )

I did not know you were a Republican. Now that Bill White no longer is, you may be the last one remaining in Somerville.

I am certainly the only vocal Republican left. Republicans are alive and well in Somerville; however, being openly Republican is something that most Republicans don't practice.

Ron: Do you know of any space in Davis Square for a hotel? Not for sale, but that makes sense. I am thinking that a hotel would look great on the parcel where the Dominos once operated. What do you think?

Ron: In regard to my question in the previous comment, see the following map http://local.live.com/?v=2&sp=Point.r1z279925ync_Hotel%20Space___ (click on Bird's Eye for a better view). A hotel at the end of the Square would be great.

hotel?

To my knowledge, Domino's is still in business at the location you suggest. It is still listed on Domino's web site.

Possible sites I can think of:

- the former Enterprise Rent-a-Car, at Cutter and Summer streets
- perhaps close this short block of Summer Street, and combine Enterprise with the small triangular parking lot on the other side
- the small parking lots along Grove Street; don't know if any of them are really large enough
- the private parking lot on Winter Street across from Store 24
- the private parking lot behind One Davis Square
- the municipal parking lot at Day and Herbert Street -- but this would displace the Wednesday farmer's market
