Untangling a polarized city
Untangling a polarized city
from JV
How do we disentangle Medford from the polarization of this Administration? The people that we need the most, police and firefighters, are not jumping for joy when they hear the names "Madame Mayor" or Stephanie Muccini-Burke, so when it comes to the citizens that Mrs Burke KNOWS did not vote for her, there is a hostility that thwarts progress and pits resident against resident.
It is OUR community. The Mayor, whomever he or she may be, works for us as a PUBLIC SERVANT. Medford with the perpetual abuse of Plan A government is, indeed, an autocracy.
A U T O C R A C Y
noun
a system of government by one person with absolute power.
synonyms: absolutism, totalitarianism, dictatorship, despotism, tyranny, monocracy, autarchy
"the country is reeling from thirty years of autocracy"
a country, state, or society governed by one person with absolute power.
domineering rule or control.
It is up to us to change things for the better. A new City Charter, a new city lawyer, a new city clerk, a new city council. This is the reason that the Burke Administration loathes me, because I care about ALL the citizens of Medford
