Backtalk 10/28/2007

EXCELLENT TRIBUTE: Congratulations to The Sun for the "Serving Us Proud" section. It's a wonderful page to honor all these people who have made sacrifices. I hope it's going to be a regular event.

Lowell

SPLENDID SPITTER: Terrific column by Robert Reed on Red Sox manager Terry Francona as a champion spitter. I've noticed that myself. I think it helps to keep him calm and focused during games. It was a fun column to read.

Tewksbury

UNNECESSARY: Can someone tell me why Gov. Patrick needs an office in Washington, D.C.? Is he planning on leaving us before his term is up?

Billerica

LET ROCKY STAY: How ridiculous that Pelham selectmen won't allow the fire chief's Dalmatian to stay at the station during work hours. Having a Dalmatian at fire stations is a proud tradition and something that should have been embraced.

Pelham, N.H.

UNEQUAL TREATMENT: Why is Chelmsford allowing one resident on Boston Road to interfere with the current flow of the sidewalk project, just because he doesn't want the standard curbstone in front of his property? He wants a special order of oversized curbstone installed.
Chelmsford

TOO MUCH: I can't believe the town agreed to pay the new Dracut Housing Authority director more than they paid the former director, who had 20 years of experience. That is just so wrong.

Dracut

NO MORE 40B: The 40B laws are bad for our communities. They only help developers, not those who need affordable housing. It's time to change the law.

Wilmington

REPEAL 40B: Thank you to the citizens who are working to repeal 40B. I'm surprised it's taken 40 years for people to realize 40B not only destroys communities, but hurts affordable housing, too. It's time for us to do what every other state does -- produce real affordable housing without a catch.

No town given

SPEED UP REPAIRS: About the bridge work on Princeton Boulevard entering North Chelmsford: Why do they have a two-year state contract when Modern Continental can span a six-lane highway in 14 days? It's impacting local businesses dramatically and fire trucks can't even go over it.

Chelmsford
