Somewhat agree with you. The effort and message are of course great, but I clearly remember when they did this almost 10 years ago when I was a senior and I personally wasn't really affected by it. I remember it was 'entertaining' to see your peers act it out, and it was pretty cool to see how the jaws of life are used, but not many seemed to find it scary or realistic. I can't remember if it was…   more ›

Sadly that $207,000 about 1/2 will be used on consultants to tell us we will save .05 cents per kilowatt hour. And to make it worse, they will only hook up 1 building to the solar panels and the savings will not be seen for 10+ years, by then, they will need to be replaced for a cost, thus no savings. Second, the I-93 interchange benefits primarily Andover (shocker) and Tewksbury's South Street …   more ›
