Being Senator DiDomenico
Does it get any better than being the number 2 man in charge of the Massachusetts State Senate for Senator Sal DiDomenico?
No. It doesn’t really get any better than that unless he becomes the State Senate President – and what a day that will be for DiDomenico.
That day is coming.
DiDomenico’s transparent and completely above the board support for the professional soccer stadium to locate in Everett is right now the capstone of his leadership effort for this community.
There is not another city in Massachusetts right now looking at the potential of a $500 million major league soccer stadium with all the fixings but Everett.
To miss out on an opportunity like this would be criminal, quite frankly.
As we said last week, everyone has a right to express how they feel about such a project coming to Everett. Environmentalists can tell us they are opposed because a water based business on the waterfront would conform with zoning. Well, that’s environmental insanity.
The entire area is thoroughly polluted after years of water based operations ruining the land.
The Krafts are going to mitigate the pollution. Is that not good enough by itself? DiDomenico is on the right side of this proposal.
Ongoing investigation?
It would appear there has been an ongoing investigation into some kind of alleged wrongdoing by a sitting member of the School Committee that has not yet been made public.
A member of the School Committee has apparently been told to watch her actions around the city.
A roof is just a roof
A few more insights about the Monday meeting at the city council where the council rejected a new $11.4M roof for the leaky former high school building.
First, the roof has been leaking for years. But this has not stopped the old high school from being used, and very likely will not stop anything going on there for the next few years without a new roof.
The new roof argument about the old high school in reality is part of the debate finding many residents and area neighbors of the former Pope John High School wanting to have Pope John used as a school again.
Area neighbors do not want 138 units of housing placed on the site of the former high school over it being used as a school for all the obvious reasons.
A new roof is more than just a new roof!
