Left In Lowell

Since there was some confusion on the dates of the two Youth-led sponsored forums for both the City Council and School Committee races, I just thought it would be best if we posted it again, especially in light of the scarcity of these forums.

Youth-Led School Committee Candidate Forum
October 30th, 7:00 – 8:00 p.m.
In-studio debate (no audience) to be aired live on LTC

Youth-Led City Council Candidate Forum
November 1st, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. to be held at UTEC
34 Hurd Street, also to be aired on LTC

These forums are sponsored by UTEC and other youth-oriented agencies. Stay tuned for further details in the upcoming days.

The Boston Globe continues to keep an eye on the relationship between the Sun and former Congressman, now U. Mass Lowell Chancellor, Marty Meehan. Back in March, their business columnist Steve Bailey was critical of the Sun and then-Congressman Meehan for their joint effort to put out a special advertising section celebrating the Chancellor’s 50th Birthday.

And in today’s edition, the Globe’s Washington Bureau staff member, reports that the Sun’s editor Jim Campanini, purchased Meehan’s Lowell home. That in itself is not news but Sasha Isssenberg states, “It was the latest turn in an increasingly tangled relationship between the newspaper and the Democrat,” and then the article goes on to report on he details of the transaction through that prism.
