On today's show we discussed the Andrea Traficanti/Frank McCann/Patrick Blanchette connection and all the lawsuits being filed by Traficanti and McCann as well as posing the question: will a Mayor Patrick Blanchette settle all these lawsuits being filed by his personal friends and campaign supporters? And, will Blanchette bring back the DiAdamo Law Firm to do the city's worker's compensation cases after Sullivan fired them. Lawrence City Councilor At-Large, Roger Twomey called in to talk about some of his priorities as a city councilor (one of the nest interviews this year). We also talked about the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Siglo 21's editorial accusing white people in Lawrence (who want a city manager form of government) of being racist. Congratulations to the winners of the Nutcracker tickets for the December 13th performance at Newburyport High School by the Methuen Ballet Ensamble!

Question #1 is to end the income tax, Question #2 is to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana question #3 is to end dog racing i Massachusetts. We really wanted to do another hour just for the podcast we were just too tired.
