March Meeting Features Candidates

Several candidates for state-wide, regional and local elected offices were on-hand for a room filled audience at the South Medford Fire Station that required several to stand in the rear on March 17th.

Kamal Jain a Lowell business consultant seeking the Republican nomination for State Auditor at the April party convention led off the evening's speakers. Armed with charts showing the large gap between the statutory budget and the actual spending, Jain advocated for the need to have transparency requiring full disclosure of expenditures on-line by all governmental agencies.

Dr. Gerry Dembrowski a Woburn chiropractor running for Congress in the seventh Congressional District against Edward Markey outlined several legislative and financial policies that the incumbent has been responsible for that has contributed negatively to the current economic conditions in the district and across the country.

David Carnevale owner of a Medford beverage importing business running for the State Senate in the 2nd Middlesex District opposing Pat Jehlan noted that he is chaffing against several anti-business and spending bills she has voted for that in his opinion does not serve the best interests of the district.

Karla Romero a Malden resident running for State Representative in the 35th Middlesex District against long-time incumbent Paul Donato wants to see changes in the distribution of State aid.

The meeting which was video-taped by a multi-camera crew for later broadcast on Medford and Malden Cable channels concluded with the unanimous re-election of the City Committee Officers for an additional two-year term. Re-elected were Bernard J. Green as Chairman, Brian Connolly as Vice-Chairman, Judy Marcella as Secretary and Mark Crowley as Treasurer.
