TERRITORIAL RIGHTS

My thriftiness you did praise.
Election is over, time for a raise.

As you can clearly see
They say it's time for me

To cash in
On what for CLANCY  I called a SIN

Hey but TICK TOCK
I am really just a CHIP off the old block!

Councilors: Time for mayor’s pay to enter six-figure territory

SOME WOLVES WEAR WOOL

JUDY is so gosh darn smart
Just where do I start

Hiding behind the appearance of being cheap
But now preparing to reap.

Her fashion sense has earned her a tag
As a lady with a bag.

Because of her GREED
A container she'll NEED

To carry the cash from the city coffer
Sorry CHIPPER she got a BETTER offer

Councilors: Time for mayor’s pay to enter six-figure territory

GETTIN JOLLY WITH JUDY

Nothing too fancy,

spending lots of money

to keep from paying CLANCY.

Winning back money

that we may never see,

all so you can give more to ME!

You see we needed a change

so the city's budget 

I could quietly rearrange.

Sure there's no money for schools.

tell me now, "How does it feel?"

to have been played for fools?

CONTESTED DEVELOPMENT

"You Are Not Welcome Here"
words sure to cause fear

for new businesses hoping to find
a new enviroment to be kind.

For a business hoping to grow
this comes as quite a blow.

 hopes of seeing a welcome mat
have fallen seriousy flat.

Neighbors oppose Boston Street CVS plan

HONOR RE-GUARD

A room for reading
was the purpose of this proceeding.

A key to succeeding
or boredom just beating.

This honor they did bestow
as a form of gratitude they did show

for a voulunteer whose service was long
helping to keep thw Girls Inc strong.

Longtime volunteer honored at Girls Inc.

STOCKING THE NET

So they are holding a forum for a proposed school?
Well that's just downight cool.

We could maybe do this in Lynn
if we only knew where to begin.

Maybe a good place to start
would be to get our spending out of the dark

See millions are missing and that just ain't right
Perhaps we'll see who's holding the bag when dawn comes to light.


Swampscott sets public forum for proposed school

ENSNARE THE HARE!

It's the newest revival without a tent.
Not stopping until 4 million dollars spent.

Residents to be concealed
While new businesses to be revealed.

Economic development has been slow
But to those people in the know,

Slow and steady wins the race.
At least that's EDIC's case!
