BIG SPENDER: Another election has been won by the big money spender. There has to be a better way!

Chelmsford

SURPRISING: Jim Ogonowski lost the congressional race. But it seems as if the majority of voters in Billerica, Chelmsford and Tyngsboro would've preferred for our military service men and women to stay in Iraq and die for Bush.

Westford

CHANGES: According to my wise old grandfather, people started out as Democrats, but once they got to own a home and had their own lawn and when they got the lawnmower, it was then they became Republican.

Tewksbury

EXPENSIVE FUTURE: The Democrats are in charge; hold onto your wallets, Massachusetts. It's going to cost you more to heat your home this winter and drive a car.

Tyngsboro

LOW INCREASE: I am thrilled that our taxes will not be increasing by much this year. I think we will have the lowest increase of any community in the area. Thank you to City Manager Bernie Lynch and the City Council!

Lowell

TOO LENIENT: I read about the

Billerica man who was arrested for his fifth OUI. Great court system we have in this state. Guess we'll let him out again and maybe he'll kill somebody.
Tewksbury

NOT FAIR: I agree with Ken Martin's letter. It's an insult to Joe Tully who worked very hard for the Dracut Housing Authority and the residents of Dracut. His salary at retirement was $62,000 after many years of being executive director. How can they in good faith give Mary Karabatsos more money?

Dracut

LONG DAY: My child gets home almost 4 o'clock. Extending the school day is not a good idea. My child is exhausted, has homework, and after-school activities. No wonder there's no time for a family dinner.

Lowell

SILLY IDEA: My dog would not want to be buckled. I have taken upon myself to train my dog. She sits in the well of my car and she loves it. What is next -- helmets?

Chelmsford

COSTLY: The UMass Lowell athletic director stated the hockey team lost $730,000 last year. How can they pay the hockey coach $167,000? It doesn't make sense.

Lowell

JUST A THOUGHT: The new owners of WCAP should have the Yankees games broadcast on their station next season.
