Just came from the LYNN CITY COUNCIL meeting. Seems like the only deviation from the boring norm was when COUNCILMAN PETE CAPANO voted PRESENT instead of the standard YES on a vote to ratify the MAYOR'S appointments to the LYNN CULTURAL COMMISSION.
I always thought that meant you weren't taking a position one way or the other on an issue. However when it came time to tally the role on a vote , CITY CLERK MARY AUDLEY counted it as an AFFIRMATIVE, final total 11 yes 0 no.
Once again, not a word about the schools even though there is a drama playing on the NATIONAL stage. I guess they think if they close their eyes, no one will see.
His daughter Dena Capano was on the list. It would have been a conflict of interest for him to vote. He made the correct vote. The clerk should have said 10 yes, 1 present, 0 no.
ReplyDeleteGood, I know Pete to be a stand-up guy. I thought I wasn't wrong.
