Three Cheers for State Rep. Karyn Polito's Character and Leadership
I first heard on WBZ radio yesterday about the leadership stand Rep. Karyn Polito (Shrewsbury & Westborough) has made regarding refusing the recent legislative pay raise. See 1 MA legislator refuses 5.5% pay raise.
And as reported in the Boston Herald article Several state pols refusing pay hike, here's the statement she made:
"I cannot in good conscience accept a raise in legislative pay when there are so many families across the state who cannot afford to meet their household expenses. I believe the $640,600 in additional pay for legislators could be better spent if it were devoted to offsetting toll increases, increasing local aid and paying for other services that would benefit the people we represent."
Hear, hear! Thanks, Karyn. I hope this is well-remembered by your constituency.
Happy New Year 2009, Westborough!
Here's to a prosperous, happy, and healthy 2009 for all who live in Westbourough and the surrounding area, and to all those who have family and friends here, too.
Best wishes, everyone!
New Year's at the rotary :)
Speaking of the Bay State Commons park...
What's wrong with this picture?
Perhaps you've read the article about issues with the Bay State Commons Park. I don't know if this is listed, but check out these tables.
Can you spot what's wrong?
HINT: if they add two more seats on the other sides of each table, then it'll be "fixed".
