Douglas Petersen (D-Marblehead) explains the state aid situation to Swampscott residents, many of whom are upset at the threatened closing of one of the town's elementary schools. Includes controversial "captains of industry" remark at the end.
Taped off PEG Channel 15. Produced by SHS Cable Club, Tom Reid.
He is right about Lynn. He was a great legislator. Too bad he is not still in office. I used to work for him and he is on the money.

I live in Swampscott, but this guy is a jerk about Lynn....his last words were horrible :/ .
I do have to say that our new school isn't doing it; the electronics are breaking, there are leaks, and now we're out $64,000,000.00, and now the superintendent wants to cut basic classes like Tech and Band, while he sits there and accepts his $30,000.00 salary raise.

what a scumbag i'm 11th generation here in marblehead and i gotta say this prick is not representative of me or my town.
he's just representing the usual yuppie douche bag that is too skittish to even look you in the face when you pass him on the street. this is the type of prick that i think should be forced to live a year in the life of a welfare family.

Lynn is simply a sleeping giant....wait and see....
Anyway, but I see his point, the funds going into Lynn will be a good investment for all around and for many people, but for different reasons.
Man, I haven't seen such an outcry from the students at this since the implication of the new dress code policy.

what a loser. I go to a school in the LPS school system, and hey, he can't touch my 3.9 GPA, I mean, most of our students have an average GPA of 3.6 or 3.7, and, this guy should take a tour of my school, I mean, sure, there are some bad crowds, but the majority is there to learn, and with people taking classes such as AP Film, AP French, AP Spanish, AP Government, AP Stats, really, you cannot say that "we will be your towns workers." Ass hole.
