Holiday Reading

Not sure too much commentary is needed, considering it's really nice out:

"It's pretty nice, because you get some privacy," Jimmy Brisebois, on Riverside Park.

"I've heard every argument about the ambulance service that's possible. But I still believe that it's not in the best interest of the city." Mayor Dan Mylott, on why a potential $1 million isn't in Fitchburg's best interests.

OK, we can't help ourselves:

Riverside Park should be a jewel for Fitchburg. That it isn't is a shame.

Mylott makes something of a point in that the city would have to hire firefighters upfront for ambulance service, but he doesn't really make a fantastic argument for not moving forward with this. In typical Mylott fashion, he doesn't really justify or fully explain his move.
