This is serious stuff.
You never in a million years thought that a candidate like Zac Bears could get in, did you?
Well, he did. And though Isaac B. Bears has been nothing but a public embarrassment, his skewed rhetoric is getting traction on the internet.
Former Medford reporter Travis Andersen's co-write with Danny McDonald on Mayor Janey of Boston gives a big hint. Incumbents in an election year want to win. They go with popular ideas...and wearing masks is very, very popular:
Acting Mayor Janey issues indoor mask mandate for Boston
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/08/20/nation/kim-janey-issues-indoor-mask-mandate-boston/
In a decision met with both praise and pushback, Acting Mayor Kim Janey announced a mask mandate for indoor public places in Boston, a move that takes effect next Friday as the city continues to battle the worrisome Delta variant of COVID-19.
The mandate applies to everyone over the age of 2 when inside a business, club, place of assembly, or other location open to the public. That includes retail outlets, restaurants, bars, performance venues, social clubs, event spaces, and municipal buildings.
People will be permitted to remove face coverings when actively eating or drinking. But masks must be worn for all other indoor activities, including ordering at a bar or dancing. Janey’s office said the order does not apply to gatherings in private residences where no one is being paid, private buildings inaccessible to the public, places of worship, or performers who maintain 6 feet of distance from spectators.
Janey cited both public health data and the imminent return of the city’s sea of college students as factors in her decision. Bostonians who haven’t been vaccinated should get the shots, she said.
Medford Voters Have Hardly Been the Brightest Bulbs on the Tree...but these are dangerous times during a pandemic that already seems as old as the war in Afghanistan We paid a hefty price for do-nothing candidates Maiocco, Caraviello, Camuso, Dello Russo ....but as difficult and uneven as they were, their self-preservation would have kicked in to not get behind Trumpian insanity.
____________________________
Candidate Kerry Laidlaw seems to have truly taken Attorney Martin Vail's advice to heart (played by Richard Gere in the film Primal Fear)
"Why gamble with money when you can gamble with people's lives?"
Kerry Laidlaw's "petition" gambles with people's lives. She's no doctor, she's no lawyer, and she's not fit to be on the school committee. Her petition is Exhibit A.
This is not a parody.
This is not a put-down.
This is reality based in fact.
Now here's the bigger issue. It's not that school committee candidate Kerry Laidlaw has a snowball's chance in hell of getting past September 14th; she doesn't. But ANY candidate on the campaign trail pushing ideas will get to some voters...and to other candidates. And one of those crazed Trump supporters might actually get in. And might actually take Kerry's lunacy to heart.
I thought long and hard before writing to the mayor and the director of public health - you don't want to give any attention to a candidate who has so thoroughly made a laughingstock and spectacle of herself in public. BUT, getting the crazy petition to city officials so that they could potentially counteract it was better than staying silent.
Why, if Laidlaw has no chance of getting votes?
Because there are other Trump supporting candidates who can pick up on the irresponsible ideas of candidate Laidlaw which puts ALL the kids of Medford at risk. Two I can think of are mayoral candidate John Petrella and his sidekick, former politician Patricia Brady Doherty. That Brady Doherty and Petrella intend to defeat John Falco in the primary is a very real possibility.
a)Falco isn't running a very good campaign
b)Falco is rumored to not even want to be IN the campaign, that he was pushed by Mike McGlynn and his spouse!
c)Petrella with support from Kerry Laidlaw is like the Taliban with support from al-Qaeda
They make town lunatic Police Chief Jack Buckley almost look sane - even with his "all good men and women" stance in October of 2019, only to find out in 2020 that Buckley has the most Brady-infested police force in all of Middlesex County
The Oracle in the Matrix: "It is a pickle."
Problem for you, Medford: IT IS YOUR PICKLE!
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO VOTE TO GET YOURSELVES OUT OF THIS HORROR MOVIE AND MESS?????

Somerville has mandated wearing masks.
Somerville becomes latest Massachusetts city to mandate masks in public indoor spaces SOMERVILLE, Mass. —
The city of Somerville has become the latest Massachusetts community to require all people to wear face coverings in indoor public settings regardless of whether they have received a COVID-19 vaccination.
The Board of Health approved the mask mandate that will take effect on Friday. As with previous masking orders, children under the age of two are exempt.
“The most important thing everyone should do right now to slow the spread of COVID-19 is get vaccinated if you have not done so yet," Somerville’s health and human services director Doug Kress said in a news release.
"But the next thing we all need to do is mask up inside in public spaces again because anyone can still get the virus and spread it, and it spreads most easily indoors."
With a population over 75,000, Somerville reported just over 130 new COVID-19 cases over the past two weeks, with a positivity rate of 1.52 percent, below the state average, data from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health showed.
State health data shows 73 percent of all residents in the city are fully vaccinated, with 79 percent receiving at least one dose of the vaccine.
