Ed, When Mayor Rafferty was in office, he planted some beautiful flower beds. When Mayor Gilmore got in office, that was the first question people asked, are you going to keep the flower beds and have Septemberfest? Well, Gilmore enhanced on the flower beds and got grants to fill in with trees. Now Mayor Bencivengo is here, and all he’s doing is ripping out azaleas, trees and flower beds. Is this because we’re going to lay off public works employees and hire his landscaping company to do just mowing? I’d like to know.

Stopping to Smell

I’m sure Benci is planning to plant some bigger and better flowers to take their place.—Ed. Note
