election tomorrow

[cos]

Tomorrow, Tuesday May 15th, is the general election for the open seat on the Somerville Board of Aldermen. The two top candidates from last month's primary, Marty Martinez and Jack Connolly will be on the ballot.

Polls are open 7am - 8pm, and you can find your polling place at WhereDoIVoteMA.com. All Somerville voters can vote in this election (election info from the city).

Many people who voted in the primary will forget to vote again tomorrow, so both candidates need some new voters as well as many of their supporters from April as they can get. If you're supporting Jack, this is your chance to make a comeback; if you're supporting Marty, don't assume he'll win. Vote!

Sorry it's taken us so long to get this up...Somerville's gone a little crazy this past week. Here (http://www.townonline.com/somerville/homepage/x1624693138) is out story (with a picture of the ad).

Thanks, but why isn't that linked from your web front page or news page?

Gang Ordinance

[cos]

I also encourage people to read Denise Provost's opinion piece, Gang Ordinance is not common sense. She also opposed it (and voted against it on the board of aldermen), and gives a very good explanation here of why she opposed it. (And she has endorsed Marty for alderman to replace her)

Seconded. We do not need an ordinance to prevent loitering. If the loiterers are violating other laws, arrest them for those offences.

Plus there are good gangs and not-so-good gangs. SCUL is a good gang, and should be supported by the city, not have laws passed against it :-)
