The View From Prospect Hill for May 5

On May 5, 2010, in Latest News, by The News Staff

If 'Aquapocalypse'
taught us one thing it is this: we can't take care of ourselves.

City
officials are sending out robocalls reminding us to let boiled water cool?
What's next? The mayor takes our hand and slowly leads us across the street?
(Bad example, East Somerville residents do deserve better pedestrian conditions
around McGrath Highway.)

Meanwhile, Market Basket is fully stocked with
water and city leaders hand out 6,000 gallons of water one day before the
Governor tells us it's safe to drink again.

We need government to do so
many important things for us: education, safety, maintain infrastructure and
much more. But we should be able to handle boiling the water.
