Left In Lowell

In case you missed it at last night City Council’s meeting a gratifying (for me) exchange took place between Mayor Jim Milinazzo and CC Bud Caulfield, who presented the following motion: “Mgr. finds ways/means of replacing sidewalks on Stevens St. ”

Here is a 4 minute clip of the discussion:

I can understand a City Councilor’s concerns about raising taxes, fees or the budget. What I cannot understand is when the same CC has no problems bringing motions that put additional financial demands on the City Budget without making any provisions.

You cannot have it both ways. Also, during the discussion CC Joe Mendonca mentioned that Stevens Street was a gateway road to the City. Yes, it is. But have the CCs walked on Gorham, Bridge or Middlesex lately?

A nod to Mayor Milinazzo for looking out for the tax payer.

By the way, there was another interesting discussion and vote on the new police vehicle garage. I will write about that later today.
