I am very pleased and excited that Ted has begun the “Inside Lowell” blog. His knowledge of Lowell politics and issues is unparalleled. He loves the city deeply, and whether you agree with him or not, you can’t argue his passion for the city. He’s also a very strong advocate of local law enforcement. Upon my ascension to the position of Superintendent of the Lowell Police Department, we immediately began a partnership where each and every week, myself or another Command Staff officer, would appear at the WCAP radio station studio, or call in by phone, and engage the citizens of Lowell in frank conversations about issues affecting the city’s neighborhoods. This collaboration enhanced the community policing efforts of the Lowell Police Department and created the opportunity for the citizens of Lowell to speak directly with their police chief. I will always be grateful for Ted’s work on behalf of the Lowell Police Department.

Yesterday, I texted this to Teddy Panos’s INSIDE LOWELL “DAILY PULSE LIVE” show: “So, to be totally fair to ALL parties involved, it seems to me the most fair and balanced solution could be merging Governor Healey’s strict state wide framework with the Honest Future for Lowell’s proposal, just a thought. This is gonna take a total team effort and compromise because that’s the only way everyone wins. Also, let Congresswoman Trahan and her colleagues make one set of safety rules for the digital software so tech companies don't have to follow 50 different state laws, and allow Massachusetts and Lowell to keep total control over the physical land, the local power grid, and neighborhood noise limits and environmental concerns”. Basically and simply, I believe it’s a “Wisdom of Solomon” solution. Why, because you are splitting the “cloud from the ground”. EVERYONE WINS!
