OFFICE POLITICS

Just dropped into my old satellite office on BOSTON STREET to visit an old friend and school stuff came up. It was just kind of a conversation starter. Imagine that, me talking about SCHOOLS.

ANYWAY...

we got to talking about the new MARSHALL and site locations. MR. ED came up with a good idea. We should have looked at building somewhere down on UNION STREET down around LYNN COMMUNITY HEALTH. This would went a long way toward revitalizing downtown and would have eliminated a troubled area.

I know this area would be costly tearing down buildings but it might be worth it.

YEAH.....

there is probably some contaminated ground around there (REMEMBER ALL THAT TALK AROUND THE WHITE'S LAUNDRY?) but there was a comment about contamination remediation by the parent rep. on the NEW MARSHALL building committee that the technology exists to make it all safe with plastic liners and such. That is to reassure about worries on BROOKLINE STREET.

I know we may be past the point of considering site options. MSBA has our proposal, done deal......

UNLESS....

the BOND fails.

BUT....

there is already all that FREE CASH floatting around the MAYOR'S office from the past two years that well hasn't been all that clearly been accounted for. There is this year's Kennedy finishes $258.5M budget and last's Lynn mayor, council spar on free cash.

YOU SEE....

the MAYOR could come and SAVE THE DAY if the voters don't vote for a tax increase.

JUST THINKING....

but remember I've got BRAIN DAMAGE.
