No from Milton
What many articles regarding the NO vote in Milton leave out in the zoning for 1,000 units to be built from East Milton Sq. to and including the Flatley building on Granite Ave. is the horrific traffic jam every morning with cars trying to get onto the expressway to Boston, etc. Many times that traffic is back up to the Fruit Center in East Milton Sq. And even now trying to find parking in East Milton Sq. to go to businesses is a big problem. Plus these units are not near any rapid transit where you can walk to, including the trolley line which I used going to Hyde Park High in 1952.
They are claiming that many people will not have cars and who are they kidding? Even if only 500 had cars imagining trying to get on the expressway or anywhere?
That would be a great area for another senior center like the Keystone in Dorchester where they have a waiting list. This is a senior center based on your income at 30% and many of these seniors worked all their lives and need help now to live in a safe and secure facility. Put all the facts out there when bashing the No vote and I think Gov. Healey should also put out that truth.

School sports
Kudos to the head basketball coach for the Collegiate Charter School of Lowell for pulling his team off the court and forfeiting the game. Boys should play sports against boys only and girls against girls only. The fact that three young girls got hurt should wake up anyone who feels it’s okay for transgender people to play sports against the opposite sex.
Boys are bigger and stronger, thus the risk of injury to girls is greater. The MIAA should not bow down to the politically correct crowd and allow this to continue. Didn’t the MIAA learn anything from the girl from Dighton-Rehoboth who was severely injured from a boy’s shot during a field hockey game last fall? I would support any girls team that refuses to play against a team that has boys on it. Also the stupid rules that allow boys to play on a girls team if there is no boys team is equally absurd. The solution is either form a boy’s team or they will have to find some other sport to play.

I can’t help but notice that our esteemed senator, now confronted with a possible Republican opponent, has suddenly begun to appear everywhere! She actually showed up for a photo opportunity in Fall River!!! And that was after she appeared in Wareham.
By allowing the current administration to turn our border into a third world nightmare without standing up for those who you are supposed to represent, I believe you have been seriously derelict in your sworn oath to our country and the taxpaying people here in Massachusetts. Please, go away.
