[statecom] RANT

[Joseph Carvalho]

Just a few random thoughts.......can't help but wonder how the endless torrent of emails, replete with, in my humble opinion, petty bickerings and rantings, will resonate with voters in November's elections.  I don't suspect we'll see some huge increase in the electorate coming around to a Green Party that should really be making hay, at least here in Massachusetts, with the widespread distrust of the omnipotent Speaker and the 2 or 3 Republican elected officials....what better moment to seize the day.  Sadly it does not appear as thoughwe will make any significant inroads, though I hope and paray that we do.  Personally I am much too preoccupied in attempting to save my community from a myriad of evils, many of which the Green-Rainbow Party is well aware of:  an LNG terminal in a densely populated area, the new mayor's propsal to bring sludge to the largest landfill (READ DUMP) in the commonwealth, 2 of the Filthy Five coal plants, the smaller of which is seeking (and will
 undoubtedly get) permission to burn Construction & Demolition debris as well as municipal waste, a school dept. with an 11 million dollar deficit, etc, etc, etc. (NOT from the King & I)  So good luck to all on the state com and sorry I don't have the time to weigh on all your important issues.  Best to all.
