Let's get back ro the business of education. That's where our focus should be. Because of yesterday's letter to the editor in the Item our vision has gotten blurry again. Compromise and move on.
Give Ingalls lights, fences and surveillance cameras and let Seacrest park their trucks but make them agree to do something with the kids at LVTI. Let's get back to work on education.
The Ingalls Farm issue is all about education. Who gets it and who does not. Donna Cappola suggestion in todays plan to move the farm somewheres else is just that. What is the likely destination? Probably closer to Lynn's better funded suburbanized schools.
ReplyDeleteI really wish I could be at the meeting tomorrow. Moving the garden is not a compromise, but a total loss for Ingalls. I hope that down the road, every school has a garden.
ReplyDeleteI have parent-teacher-conferences (that I'm on the teacher-side of), but I will loan a camera and tripod to anyone willing to cover both the buildings and grounds sub-committee and the complete gavel-to-gavel action of the regular school committee. (No pausing/breaks in video) It would also be great to find people who can commit to this on a more regular basis, as I can't always do Wed/Thurs like I can always do Tuesdays on my schedule..
moving the farm is not a compromise, it is a surrender. A compromise would be to add improvements to the existing farm, not relocate.
ReplyDeleteI will be at the meeting gavel to gavel but I am not technically savvy
Seth, I do hope that you can find someone to operate the camera. Even though you weren't thrilled with the audio quality of the last meeting, I thought that it came out great considering how far away you were. I wish that we could get them all on TV. I think that Lynn could learn from Revere. They have an outstanding system in their council chamber and it is repeated throughout the week on local access. Being the owner of a Revere business, I catch up on zoning, license and council meetings on Saturday mornings in my office while I catch up on paperwork.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your efforts dedication to the city.
I would like to echo Rick's words and while I am at it I would like to say how impressed I am that Rick has the courage to publicly take stands.
ReplyDeleteme 3. Thanks Seth!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rick, Stanley, Katerina..
ReplyDeleteCorey has said he'll record the sub-committee at least, and I'll be able to embed it on LynnHappens once he has it online.
Stanley, it really takes no technical expertise to operate the camera.. perhaps there's a time I can show you?
Thanks, I think I'll take you up on that.
