Joe Lynch, the host of our local tv show “Greater Somerville with Joe Lynch”!

Joes a great guy and really cares about Somerville.

Most times you would think that he’s an alderman especially when he’s taking calls, answering questions and solving problems in Somerville’s many neighborhoods on different issues.

Joe is an asset to the city and we appreciate his efforts for all that he does for Somerville on a daily basis.

We here at the Somerville News Weekly salute you for everything that you do to make Somerville a better place.

Congratulations!
