Old-fashioned fun and games

After taking a beating from the council last night, Mayor Dan Mylott returns the favor today with a screed against the council. You can read the highlights at the Fitchburg Pride website.

I had been wondering for a while while the council continues to hammer at Mylott, with him leaving and all. I'm not sure, it would be seem more and more likely this is a cover move by the council with voters. "Not our fault, ask him," they can say while on the trail. It is most certainly Tom Donnelly's view on the budget situation, based on last week's conversation with him.

Without a doubt, both sides don't really like each other, and both sides aren't working together at this point. But the council's refusal to take responsibility for the budget situation just doesn't sit well. At all. Their dealings with Mylott just seem all the more like pushing away what should be their share of responsibility. So there.
