It's been a few days since my last post/rant... I had to let go of some steam... pressure was to high...

Back to our topic...

Second Rant... The City Council (the bottom of the U)

Out of the 9 city councilors, 8 voted to approve, 1 voted to reject (Councilor Kelley).

Senator Galluccio sanctified the approval, prior to its occurrence, like a prophet, he knew.. He wholeheartedly thanked Labor, the City Council and especially ARE and carefully forgot the Cambridge resident who elected him.

Although what comes next might seem tedious and painful, it is your duty to read on and check the facts.

From here on, I will only expose the facts... and let you be the judge:
