In his Sept. 15th letter to Councilors City Manager Eric Batista said that "it is simply unacceptable to allow individuals to live in inhumane conditions... We must act, but at the same time, I want to be clear that being unhoused is not a crime and will not be treated as such."

"Ex-city councilor Rose hired for admin position in Worcester schools" Why is the Telegram making it seem like Sean did something wrong, or lost a race, or was somehow kicked off? Wouldn't 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘳 City Councilor be more appropriate? www.telegram.com/story/news/l...

I'm a lifelong Pats fan and Macklemore is right and Kraft is wrong Unrelated but I saw him put on a hell of a show back in like 2012 or 2013 out in LA. Glad he's been speaking out about this

My biggest takeaway from the Kate Toomey accident is concern over what standard practice is for WPD involving crash circumstances Forget for a moment a City Councilor is involved. Here is an operator who collides with a parked vehicle, at midnight, leaving a restaurant

I love high gas prices and dead Iranian civilian children. Great use of our resources. We are not the good guys anymore Canada trade war: bad guys Iran war: bad guys Israel/Palestine: helping bad guys Domestic immigration enforcement: bad guys

No official vote has been taken yet but 6 Councilors have already expressed they would be a “No” vote and we have more to speak This potential CRB is going nowhere and will be defeated if a vote is taken
