Not too shabby

From Bob Cronin's email update...

  Work continues on the city-side with sidewalk estimates, bids and needs assessments.  These are being assessed by the Mayor’s office and DPS, with input from Councillors.  So far this year the local option meal tax has garnered Newburyport just over $104,000.00.  One half is devoted to existing residential sidewalk repair or about $52K.  

Not a bad piece of change for sidewalks.

No Fighting?

I arrived at the NRA meeting an hour late last night. I worried that I might have missed some fireworks, but the Daily News article indicates that things went relatively smoothly.

I hope the Masked Preservationist wasn't disappointed by the lack of fisticuffs.

Nice Job

Here's a little shout out to my new Twitter connection Dave Rogers at the Daily News.

At some point yesterday he tweeted a question about the IBEW protesters, asking if they've been seen since the Verizon strike started. I'd wondered myself how the IBEW folks would interact with union folks with a genuine labor beef or if they might just clear out.

 He clearly asked that question to several folks and came up with this article. Nicely done.
