Worcester Sucks and I Love It

Support Tom Marino and Worcester Press Freedom!
"Tom Marino has a GoFundMe for his upcoming legal battle against Crybaby Tommy (aka Thomas B. Duffy), the police union official suing him for $10,000,000 in a laughable defamation lawsuit. The Telegram finally wrote about it the other day! You can find that here (https://archive.ph/aPzLA) and my coverage from last week here (https://www.worcestersucks.email/p/this-is-the-gravity-we-must-contest?r=bpz9&selection=edac186a-bc45-42c7-87ce-b1ed971487ca&utm_campaign=post-share-selection&utm_medium=web&aspectRatio=instagram&textColor=%23ffffff&bgImage=true&triedRedirect=true). But if you’re going to click one link make it the one to Tom’s GoFundMe. I put in $100 and maybe you can too? The point of this lawsuit is to put someone who can’t afford a legal battle through a legal battle. A guy that gets paid by the city should not be doing this but I think we’ve established by now that the city manager is not functionally the boss of the police, and especially has no power over a police union official."

@helianthropy Ehh like always in #WorcPoli, kind of a mixed bag. Some of the people I liked lost but some of the people I dislike also lost so... not the best but not the worst!
Worcester election results:
Joe Petty, Mayor: good guy, but not up to our current challenges.
Jose Rivera beats Etel Haxhiaj: Jose says he'll fight for us. Etel did fight for us. He's got big shoes to fill.
Kathleen Roy beats Nellie Medina for School Committee: the incumbent won.
Dr Satya Mitra: threw massive amounts of money at his campaign and won.

This Week in Worcester

Well I have once again showed up in an off year to vote for my Muslim immigrant single-mom city councillor, which always feels good (they found another racist ex-cop to run against her this time, natch).

I do wish that now, when I get one of these, I don't suspect it might be the last time, though.

There's a Worcester municipal (preliminary) election coming up and early voting is going on now.

From the Telegram & Gazette:
In-person early voting for the preliminary election is underway at Worcester Public Library, 3 Salem Square.

Voters from all precincts in the city can vote at the library through Friday, Aug. 29. Hours are Monday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Wednesday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The preliminary is Sept. 2.

The preliminary ballot is light, with two races. The races for at-large city councilor and District E School Committee are the lone ones requiring a preliminary.

The general election is Nov. 4.

@D_J_Nathanson And she's an immigrant (gasp!) single mom (double gasp!) MUSLIM (passes out from shock) so all the predictable trash people hate on her, which makes voting for her one of my favorite moments of the year.
