Wow ! A big shock that Jim M. And Jackie D. And Dave L. finished out of the mix. They have given a lot of time and effort on behalf of the city. The new faces will make for a new dynamics on each of the three boards. I look hopefully forward to civil , educated and cooperative discussions marked by significant accomplishments. Doing otherwise will only serve to erode people’s confidence in of government to help the common good. Speaking of eroding confidence… t am truly disappointed that the voter turnout was so low. It is frightening to think that so few people are doing their civic duty. If this keeps up only 1 person will be deciding issues for the 9 others that didn’t bother to vote. A very dangerous situation. All you need to see is how this type of participation evolves into places like China , Iran , North Korea etc. They all started Local!!!
I think Van Pech’s numbers are incorrect. The most recent results I saw (the ones printed in the Lowell Sun) had him at 1897. I think that these numbers above were the last ones posted at the Blue Shamrock and maybe they just mistyped or forget to include his totals for the last precinct. All the other numbers were consistent between The Sun and the the Blue Shamrock, so thats what I’m basing my guess on. Difference between 16th and 17th, just for the record.
