Why America is the greatest country in this history of mankind! Massachusetts General Law Chapter 40B forces every community in the state to build low income housing... and there's a reason for that. Look at the electoral map of what communities Republicans like Charlie Baker won on election day. He won all the suburbs, while Democrats like Deval Patrick won all the cities. If suddenly there was a 10% increase in low income housing in each of those republican enclaves ELECTION NUMBERS would change in the suburbs giving Dems a LOCK on every election!
Lawrence Deputy Chief Bonilla's son was arrested in connection with a home invasion and pistol whipping, but half of city hall including the mayor and several police officers involved in the chase were in court this week to support Bonillas SON!
Lawrence Mayor WIllie Lantigua and City Councilor Grisel Silva engage in a screaming match at a city council meeting because Lantigua tried to turn a discussion about crime in the city into a political attack on Silva ... Silva shocked Lantigua by fighting back and the Audio clips we played were DOWNRIGHT hysterical!
Methuen Republican(?) Al Dinuccio called in to defend Lantigua and give Lenny Degnan's party line explanation as to why the city of Lawrence should NOT be put into receivership. Republican operative Vincent A.J. Errichetti calls in to talk about why Charlie Baker lost and was quite harsh on the Baker campaign.
