The Scorecard

One of the things we're going to do here is keep track of who's for and who's against an override proposal as elected officials and others involved in the city's policy making comment on the issue.

You can start to see how things are lining up even from this short list, but there are a ton of folks who still haven't publicly commented one way or another on it. At this point, the list is based on comments leaders have made in the Sentinel and the Telegram.

We've broken down our list into "favor" and "oppose." Those who "favor" have either said an override is needed, or have said it's worth considering. Those in the "oppose" column have said they're against it, or think it's a bad idea to move on.

We'll update the list when appropriate. For now, here's how it stands:

Favor
Teachers Union
Police Union
Police Chief Edward Cronin
School Committee member Lisa Moison
School Committee member James Connors
City Councilor Bruce Durkee (whose term expires this year)

Oppose
Mayor Dan Mylott
City Councilor Ted DeSalvatore (incoming)
City Councilor Tom Conry (incoming)
City Councilor Tom Donnelly
City Councilor Joel Kaddy
City Councilor Norman Boisvert
