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.

There are enough bigots in Lowell to worry about one (or more?) of them filing a federal lawsuit challenging the the current district alignments. I believe the consent decree (correct me if I'm wrong) actually defines the creation of two majority-minority districts based on minority populations and if I'm correct that specifically violates yesterday's Supreme Court decision. The City Attorneys need to recognize this as they analyze how the decision affects Lowell and how they will reply to the likely court challenge(s). And we as Lowell citizens need to provide our inputs into the discussion.
