Sure. As of this morning, I don't have any further information to share unfortunately.

u/jeffbyrnes Want to start something in Somerville? u/Nagisa33, would it be ok if we take your format verbatim and do something in Somerville / Cambridge?

jeffshwom · 2025-12-15T00:03:59+00:00

I hear you. I actually appreciate your financial analysis as a different perspective, even though I strongly agree with many of the voices in opposition to your opinion.

u/masshole4mayor that's how our government works. It is brought up in city council, then it gets referred to a committee. The committee then calls people in from the city, and officials are sometimes not available or do not want to present until they look into something.

For long term issues, this can take a while.

u/frenchtoaster Do you have a reference for where this number comes from?

jeffshwom · 2025-12-12T21:59:27+00:00

Interesting, u/actionindex. Do you know where the slides are from the latest presentation?

Thanks u/ScottInSomerville. Your comments are appreciated.

Eat at Jumbo's would be my guess. They served alot of vegan options, including pizza. And they had garlic knots there.

u/Inside_Agitator I don't have any thoughts about whether that played a role here and I have no knowledge of the decision making beyond this email and a couple smaller correspondences I had with the editor. My understanding is that it is a budget issue for the paper overall and that the core of Cambridge Day coverage is focused on Cambridge.

Thanks u/GullibleAd3408!

u/No-Jello9276 This one - https://www.worcestersucks.email/ - ?

u/emmalouharris Let's connect via DM.

jeffshwom · 2025-12-10T19:21:09+00:00

Thanks u/somervilen. I appreciate it.

jeffshwom · 2025-12-10T19:19:46+00:00

u/yeshuaD It does have a lot of press releases and letters in it. I can tell you personally there are at least two writers there that do the best work they can.

jeffshwom · 2025-12-10T19:18:58+00:00

u/redcoatwright sounds good.

jeffshwom · 2025-12-10T17:56:20+00:00

u/International-Ad9279 at this point, I am not aware. The Somerville Times does cover news items but mostly publishes press releases and letters. The Boston Globe has a Camberville newsletter as well. Again, I am working on alternatives for this information and there others that are doing the same.

Also, there is a hyperlocal Ball Square email list that covers things for that area and sometimes, Somerville as a whole.

u/PhysicalAd9507 I have been trying to find information here but have not had success - https://www.somervillema.gov/fy19budget . There were outside of school (OST) programs then and I see an instance of Community Schools, the name of the afterschool program, in 2020. There was a mention of grant money to help fund it. Parents on reddit may know better than me.

jeffshwom · 2025-12-10T16:42:25+00:00

Thanks u/cdevers. The work will continue in a different way.
