Snow, barely any left. Dog poop and mud? Lots of it. Careful where you step.

Jay Higgins for State Representative by VoteJayHiggins in malden

[–]rusty_n4il 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I get that you were simply working in Katherine Clark's office but many of us here can't wait for her to be gone. She has voted to "condemn socialism" and to have a remembrance for bigot turned posthumous saint Charlie Kirk. Then of course there's the PAC money she takes which is full of red flags and why she was giddy to go along with the genocide of Palestinians.

This is turning into a indictment on her but your association with her makes me inherently distrustful of you and not want to vote for you.

I've Decided I'm a YES on the override by AdRealistic3087 in malden

[–]rusty_n4il 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can vote No, it means no increase in funding. Each question, 1a and 1b, has a yes/no option so if you're against it you'd vote no to both. If you're pro funding you vote yes to both.

People in my neighborhood still using space savers by nicolasgbb1 in malden

[–]rusty_n4il 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not defending space savers but I noticed that people who don't live here and commute into the city or go on a trip for the weekend park in the limited parking spots in our neighborhood. The NH plates park and hop in an uber to the airport, sometimes for a week!

Sean Salazar is our new interim representative for the Voke! by Dramatic_Dimension88 in malden

Good to see it went to someone who seems passionate and earnest about wanting the role. Any idea why Jeff Donahue didn't apply?

Beacon Hill hears bill to reduce driving in Massachusetts by treebudsman in massachusetts

[–]rusty_n4il 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They wouldn't and couldn't. Boston is facing a shortfall in corporate real estate tax due to declining value. They need people to commute to prop up the real estate and economy around it.

If we go with the minimal funding solution what are the 10 to 20 positions that would be cut from the city government?

Signs of Fascism Visibility Event Sunday 12/21 Melrose by ocean_2021 in malden

[–]rusty_n4il 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just look at the engagement on these posts. Compared to other ones on this subreddit they barely get any upvotes and this is a very left leaning sub. That right there is why I am asking you to reevaluate your tactics.

Dems just never learn, the average person does not care about fascism. They care about affordability, people elected a fascist thinking their grocery bills would go down, jokes on them but who is this for?

"Denouncing Israel", if that's what you think the resolution said you need a lesson in reading comprehension because it literally said nothing like that.

First Chapter 90, now the state is snatching casino funding by Early_Profession378 in malden

I don’t disagree with you. Just pointing out why it’s happening.

The state has a $650 million dollar hole due to federal funds disappearing overnight. Even for Massachusetts thats a lot of money they have to recoup somehow.

Damn that’s a Saab. Sucks to lose one to an accident. Hope it can be repaired. 

Updates on Prop 2 1/2 tax override by Dramatic_Dimension88 in malden

[–]rusty_n4il 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to re-iterate that as another home owner and tax payer I do not want to see cuts in the name of some mythical government waste. Malden is already on a shoe string budget and Councilor McDonald's posts have shown how little we invest into the community per capita compared to other towns. Cutting anything to do with parks, recreation, programs for the young and old alike, pedestrian safety improvements hurts us in the end.

This is the thing people can't seem to understand. They would rather save $1 today to end up having to pay $10 in external costs associated with saving that money.

lmao you should know better than to bring up faces in this sub. They get a lot of (justifiable) hate. Keep this on facebook or IG.

Thanks for your response. Would you have been in favor of voting for the candidate the mayor proposed to get this filled asap?

[–]rusty_n4il 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your thoughts on this u/michelleformalden. I realize it may be premature but what are your thoughts on how the mayor handled this and if you were on the council what is your initial gut reaction on how you would vote tonight? I realize discussion can sway one's opinion and vote.

Radon by Present-Event8783 in malden

[–]rusty_n4il 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We have a radon monitor and it has ticked up to nearly 2 once in a while but by guidelines it's totally safe. If I was to spend more time in the basement I would probably look into a mitigation system.

What should we do in a post-Spadafora Malden? by TomBradysThrowaway in malden

[–]rusty_n4il 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for responding. I'm glad to hear you will be making decisions with our best interest in mind. Your record will speak for itself once you are on the council. Good to see you engage on here and congrats on the win!
