This month, layoffs primarily hit non-union staff. NOT a good look!! #somervillema #somerpoli #mapoli […]

Any expectations or hopes for budget season in Somerville, #somerpoli folks?
Outside of LOTS of videos and posts, it seems like staff restructuring is the only 'significant' change thus far from the Wilson Administration.
I'm curious what the budget will suggest in terms of different directions.

Saw a lot of #somerpoli at Winter Hill this morning to celebrate the demolition of Star Market. Which was great, but we should also acknowledge that a supermarket sitting vacant on Broadway for 17 years is a massive failure.
