At the HIGHLANDS COALITION meeting Monday night the FORD
SCHOOL was packed with politicians to engage in a UNITED WAY listening meeting.
LPS was represented by MARIA CARRASCO while the LYNN CITY COUNCIL members HONG
NET and RICH COLUCCI were in attendance. All three candidates for the 10th
ESSEX DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE were present, with 18 year incumbent
REPRESENTATIVE BOB FENNELL joined by fellow Democrat GARDY JEAN FRANSCOIS and
Republican DUSTY CAUFIELD.
Now this was my fourth time attending one of these UNITED
WAY community listening meetings and it was the most energetic one since the
big initial one down at the old EASTERN BANK which is at the foot of the
HIGHLANDS I might add. Hopes and dreams for our community and us were the
topics for our discussion. A realistic look at LYNN’S strengths and weaknesses will hopefully give the UNITED WAY helpful
insights into how to best allocate their resources.
Keeping our fingers crossed that the nice turnout and
active participation will translate into the HIGHLANDS getting a nice slice of
the resource pie!
