I am glad there is a group like this one in town. After Monday
nights meeting where somebody gave me a card I finally joined last
night and found myself reading the information for hours. I work two
jobs to pay the bills and keep my families head above water to live
be able to live in this area and I am now asking myself why? The
health effects from this power plant that these people want to put
in Billerica and from reading the information on the site that tells
me another one is going to be put up in Lowell makes me wonder how I
could have been so stupid to think I was giving my children a better
life by mortgaging myself to death to live here. After reading the
messages last night I went and read the Lowell Sun and I may just be
tired from working so much but what I read really made me wonder
even more. The candidate Gagliardi received money from the same
people who started that power company website local 103. It is clear
they received the money from the power company. If he is the top dog
on the finance committee and one of the selectmen also gave him
money for his campaign I can see why the town is in financial
trouble and needs the money so bad from the power company. I found
it interesting that the selectman who is running again for office
received the most money in donations and some of the money came from
the other candidate Hurd's brother and candidate Capobianco.
Candidate Flemming received money form two other people directly
connected with the town and should alert everyone in town as to why
the budget is in a deficit. It opened up my eyes and has me
wondering if I should get another job or start asking what is going
on here or just move. I do like the way Capobianco answered the
group questions and he does sound like he would fight for the towns
people. I am not to sure about the wood chip burning but I believe
his heart is in the right place and would stand up to what ever is
going on here. Bob Correnti sounds like he tried to fight for the
people and lost to the developers and his seat on the board. But I
think I heard he was for the power plant. I also wondered why the
other four candidates have not replied yet to the questions the
group asked them since the election is on Saturday. All I can figure
out is they must not need the votes. Sorry for ranting but the
reading I did last night opened my eyes.
