SPEAKING OF Elections, I'll try to reprise my #cambma Election Night coverage. Like x.com/johnhawkinso...
If you're available to visit your polling place shortly after 8pm tomorrow night & help crowdsource photos of the machine result tapes, that would be very helpful. Hit me up if you can assist.

    On Election Eve in #cambma, there is nobody* in line for public comment at tonight's Council meeting.
[* yeah, yeah, technically there are two people. You get the point. ]
Historically this is always a short meeting.

        Hey @CambMA voters. Check out this thoughtful & detailed review of council candidates by Andrew Zhou. I agree with his assessment. We need to vote to build for the future, and not try to keep a halycon past that wasn't. Watch for yourself. Or TLDR the image

        For 2025 Cambridge City Council Elections, better to fill in all 15 rather than not use full Voting? Or number only as many as liked, not numbering 14 or 15 to Candidates not particularly liked? Referencing www.cambridgema.gov/-/media/File... #cambma

      In 2018, I lost part of two teeth in a bike crash in Cambridge.
Two years after my crash—in my 1st term on the City Council—I introduced the 2020 Cycling Safety Ordinance.
It’s added miles of protected bike lanes—including on Hampshire St, Mass Ave, and Brattle St.

#CambMA EV+mail turnout is slightly higher in 2025 vs 2023, as of Saturday before election.
Increases in precincts covering Alewife, Rindge, Port, Kendall, CX Crossing, some mid-Camb.
Decreases in Wellington-Harrington, lower C-port

    FRIDAY DATA for #cambma early voting.
Overall 6,746 votes:
• 6,677 mail-in early
• 69 mail-in absentee
• 1641 in-person early (358 of which were Friday)
(These numbers are not 100% consistent with prior data, not quite sure why. Probably because I did the math myself this time…see screenshot)

Dirty water, indeed: New proposal would allow continued sewage in the Charles - The Boston Globe
