Comment along and watch NewTV’s live gavel to gavel coverage of Tuesday’s Board of Aldermen meeting starting 7:45 p.m. — including the vote on Austin Street — right here.
You can also tune into to Comcast channel 9, Verizon channel 33 and RCN HD on channel 613. Or join the fun in person at Newton City Hall.
If every one of these Aldermen talk for 10 minutes, we will all be here still waiting for the vote when the sun rises in the morning!
I keep getting “Subscribing to the live stream timed out.” Grrr.
Just got home: 10:52. Eight aldermen haven’t spoken yet. All are taking extra time. One took about 10 minutes to say he was undecided – looks like a no to me. Five ward aldermen are voting no.
Been listening while working from 7:45.
I remember now why, when a older gent knocked on my door in 1992 wanting to gather signatures to reduce the size of the Board, was walking around in 90 degree heat to get signatures and why when he stated what he was gathering signatures for I practically hugged this stranger.
23 years and counting….
What was the vote?
17-6 in favor, with one absent.
17-6 with no reconsideration.
Was someone absent or did someone abstain?
Brian Yates was not there. I believe he is still recuperating.
@mgwa- rule do not allow for an abstention. If you’re inside the rails, you must vote.
Congrats to ASP. Very well played.
