Remember when we thought the local level was still where things could actually change? When we assumed the same rigged power structures that had turned federal and state government into a punchline hadn't already sunk their roots into our own communities?

They definitely can still change! But it does take sustained political organizing. The Worcester city council clearly has some good members, you just need more of those. Not easy of course, but still very possible.

Regarding the staggering sum being paid to the City Manager, The City of Worcester is also paying the Manager's Cabinet, whose members apparently lack the intellect or awareness say, "Eric, don't say that. Don't put it that way".

It makes this reader think it may have been intentional, a special gift to the WPD and the likes of Kate Toomey who is requesting the Committee on Public Safety hold a public discussion on the matter. This is the same committee that chose to ignore the DOJ Report when it was issued!

Take your victory lap somewhere else, Kate. Worcester Rots.
