“As of last week, School Committee member Tracy O'Connell Novick was the only School Committee or at-large City Council candidate to break the 300-signature barrier and get on the ballot, with 310 signatures.” telegram.com/story/news/202…
First, thank you to every last one of you that had anything to do with this. Doing this in a pandemic is *not* something one anticipates; I only managed because of all the help I had!
(Yes, the website needs updating...been a little busy...) #worcpoli
Third, if you still have signatures, we’ll take them (margins are good!).
And finally, there isn’t a way to say this that doesn’t sound corny, so I’ll just say it:
To be someone that people want to have representing them on something as important as the education of children is genuinely an honor and a privilege. I will never take it for granted.

“...the normal treatment for blood clots is to administer anticoagulants like heparin—but heparin can be harmful to people with CVST, so the FDA and CDC want providers to be aware of this rare condition and to know they must treat it differently.” vitals.lifehacker.com/what-you-need-…
I already tweeted this link, but I am sharing it again with that highlight, as, from all I am reading, it seems to be the big thing to know.
It isn’t ONLY the rare blood clots, but the KIND, which need DIFFERENT treatment from most, should they occur.
It neatly encapsulates a chosen ignorance of both the pandemic’s actual impacts and the true responses of district leadership, while demonstrating a marked callousness to the pandemic’s deadly effects. #MAEdu
Page 90: "During fiscal year 2019, a significant amount of supplemental budget transfers (from both Police Department salaries and other City Departments' budgets) were required to fund Police Department overtime expenses. This was also the case in previous fiscal years."
"This is indicative of original budgets that are not accurately estimating annual costs and/or a need for improvement in managing overtime costs within budgetary constraints."
aka: this is the sort of thing you'd want to have Council being sure was true of the budget coming soon
(again, not my purview, but if you're interested, it's in the F&O backup) #worcpoli
