Interesting Sidelight

I was reading "The Column" in this Sunday's Lowell Sun and they had this item:

In related news, since last week council incumbents Rita Mercier and Jim Milinazzo have taken out their nomination papers, as have School Committee incumbents Dave Conway, Regina Faticanti and Jackie Dohert.

That would suggest to me that long time School Committee Member Regina Faticanti is not going "gentle into that good night."♠

We do have a situation here, between School Superintendent, Dr Chris Scott and Lowell School Committee Member Regina Faticanti. Neither side seems about to cut a deal, a view which is supported by this summary.

Given the situation and assuming nothing happens on the legal side between now and the election, it could be an interesting vote, come November.  Maybe it will bring out more residents of Lowell to the polling places.  That would be a good thing.  The current "situation" is not a good thing.
