Deval, Make It Work
April 8, 2008 |
Lynne got to play our intrepid reporter this week. She reprised her Left In Lowell interview-like-object with Gov. Deval Patrick last week when he was in her fair burgh. She had gotten 30 minutes with him, addressing local and commonwealth issues.
We teed off from those topics to cover bond issues, other funding possibilities, and how Patrick and get big progressive projects moving.
Posts of the Week
Lynne cited a Treehugger post on how an Italian city dumped their gassy mowers for fluffy ones. Industrial Turin is working on rehabbing its image from a polluted factory town. Sheep now maintain the grass.
Mike was amused by the always out there howling latina. She can’t forgive Obama for eclipsing her candidate and supports Clinton even if it will mean trying to game the superdelegates and tell the voters to take a hike. Two in this vein include 1) praising Sen. Jim Webb for saying the supers should vote regardless of their states’ voters choice, and 2) quoting a Vivian J. Paige email with the convoluted reasoning that “the superdelegates are not rubber-stamps for the public vote. To say otherwise is to ignore the reason why they exist.”
