Dear Billy T and Somerville/Medford News Weekly Speakup Line,
Thought you would find this interesting, Billy. The conditions of the majority of city buildings is atrocious. With all the buildings the city owns, who is responsible for facilities inspections, building audits, etc. Seems like the city should have a huge staff dedicated to maintaining the aging buildings they own and expect their employees to work in.
Nevermind the children!!! My daughter is to attend Winter Hill in September for 1st grade, what are all the parents expected to do? How long will the city keep everyone in the dark on their timeline to address the assortment of issues.
Thanks for your time.
I am not trying to speak down to you, I respect you a great deal. Any person willing to go up against these online trolls and stand basically alone is a stand up guy in my book. Something needs to be done, I have been very proud to read your clean responses in the horrible threads on Facebook groups where anyone with an opposing opinion gets attacked! People try to antagonize you constantly on there, do not let them win and get to you. It’s insane! If you target the issues that the regular folk in this city want addressed, you can and will win. This city needs a deep renovation, with never before seen to Somerville investments, maybe from some of the worldwide companies that are building massive buildings here, like Puma , MGH/Partners, etc.
Just my two cents, appreciate your time Billy.
MADAM MAYOR…
