New Poll Question

In a bit of synergy with our, um, good friends at the Fitchburg Pride, let's use the Pride Poll Question as a SaveFitchburg poll question this week.

Head over to the poll section on the right side of this page. The poll is along the left rail at the website.

The poll asks how you feel about an override in the city. Feel free to leave comments on the issue here, and if you behave and write a good one, you might get your (fake) name in the newspaper. All this means it might be a good time to dust off...

In This Week's Fitchburg Pride

-- City officials talk about whether or not they's support an override (basically, uh, no).

-- Supt. Andre Ravenelle talks about the actual good things going on in the city's schools, even as they are desperately short of money.

-- Police Chief Edward Cronin writes an op-ed outlining his department's successes in fighting the root of crime problems in the city.

-- What's faster, the commuter rail or Route 2 on the morning commute? You'll just have to read the story to find out.

That, and more, in this week's action-packed edition of the Fitchburg Pride.
