Why on earth did the citizens of Haverhill re-elect that babbling Dave Hall again. The man is a complete waste of time and energy. Watching him at the councel meetints is embarrasing to say the least.

Does this mean Sven gets two seats at the council meeting? One for him and one for dad ?

Congratulations to the new city councilors. One take away from this election for the new class would be to make sure they can spend the proper amount of time on the new position if you have other obligations that may get in the way – get rid of them. Also, spend more time listening - and less talking. Lastly make sure when a constituent emails or call you - you get back to them ASAP.

Remember - you are there to represent - not dictate. If you think the opposite - or are planning to go about things differently - take a look at the two relatively new councilors that were voted out yesterday - next time, it could easily be you.

By the way, what has that group done besides swept the streets downtown and pay 1.3 million for a building that needs to be torn down?

Well, first let me say I Know most councilors and like them. They're very nice. But politicaly I disagree with them.

I'm not surprised with what happend. For years pols in this city have been too cozy with bisiness and people side enough is enough.

I like Kenny Quinbe and was planning on voting for him, but he voted against the hotel tax. The mayor said he was going to use the money to pay for a police officer.

Mr. Young is going to appoint a 5 member committee to spend his 8 grand salary? Not a very definitive way to start...

Mary 5 names and Macek moved from the left side of the TV screen to the right. That is a positive move, maybe next time off the screen. We lost 3 councilors but didn't really lose much. Now the NEW ones have to perform to keep our votes.
It was really nice having a selection to pick from instead of the 9 or 10 usuals and then 5 or 6 duds.
Good luck and be prepared for some rough waters and tough decisions.
