In keeping with the theme of good things happening at long last: Barack Obama will become the 44th President of the United States! It feels good knowing that I will no longer have to cringe every time our President opens his mouth...On the local level, things are a little shaken up but it remains to be seen what the implications will be. We did, however, pass both the Transportation Bond and the Open Space Bond proposals. In tough times it's hard to sell the idea of taking on more debt but these are both necessary bonds as they are local match for federal dollars. The Transportation Bond, in particular, is important because it will allow the construction of the commuter rail station down at TF Green (pic from Projo, although this is more a rendering of the skybridge connecting the parking lot/station in the bottom left to the terminal in the upper right):
