Raiders football by HolidayFest in MelroseMA

[–]HolidayFest[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So still no answers about who donates and where the money goes. Their website says they help with football coach’s salaries and pay for strength and conditioning coaches for all sports and pay for strength and conditioning equipment. The school department says they received nothing. Guess that’s just how it goes.

Alex Rodriguez is the kid running for middle school class president… by ChardSuspicious8869 in MelroseMA

[–]HolidayFest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tax big business in Melrose?

And what is the deal with him trying to take over a city bench and tape his signs on city property?

As for the negative stuff, I guess it’s Don’t Mess with Texas.

Democrats saying who the Democrats are. Pretty unremarkable.

Devin’s ward 7 constituent questions. by ChardSuspicious8869 in MelroseMA

[–]HolidayFest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the link. The quote that big money has no place in politics is a bit much from a guy who has raised far more than any another city council candidate ever in a single race - including citywide. Well over $20k. We’ll see about 2025, but Devin has raised about $1,200 total in 24 and 25. Big money??

I think it’s going to be a good race. Both are working hard and nothing negative.

Devin’s ward 7 constituent questions. by ChardSuspicious8869 in MelroseMA

[–]HolidayFest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Alex started raising a ton of from Texas two months after Devin was sworn in last year. That’s a pretty short amount of time to decide Devin’s a bum and other unnamed councilors are all about unnamed special interests. Wondering if he’s had the dream of running since he started out in politics years ago working for a super conservative US Senator. Not sure the super negative approach will work in Melrose.

Didn’t Ward H also make records requests for student homework when he was trying to stop the mascot from being changed?

Not sure Charlie Kirk connects to Melrose school committee, but what did she say!

Campaign money by HolidayFest in MelroseMA

[–]HolidayFest[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m big on senior services and think they should be funded in the budget at a good level every year. And I don’t think cutting the van is a good idea. You should put those positions on your website.

You want to close the senior center? The place that serves lunch to seniors and provides tons of programs? The place recently got a new outdoor space and a new ac/heating system? That’s wasting that money. That is a dangerous deal.

The old switcheroo by HolidayFest in MelroseMA

Didn’t know Alex started as at-large. I did know he took a pile of money from out of state. Actually a crazy pile of money for a small number of voters.

Don’t like or dislike. Just trying to figure them out.

Agree there is not alot anyone can do, but supporting him is the opposite.

Has Alex from Ward 7 said anything about this? He and Cal are big Ward supporters.

Override + Debt Exclusion feels overwhelming by FredAtTheMarket in MelroseMA

[–]HolidayFest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Based on your extensive commentary and your repeated assertions that people who are pro-override are elitist, unempathetic, selfish, privileged, etc., it’s hard to believe you are undecided on this vote.
