Comment on: Brown says daughter, 23, insured under health law - Metro - The Boston Globe
Funny, my child is 23 yrs. old and my insurance, through Mass. Commonwealth Care won't cover him. What's up with that? I am forced to pay for his coverage through his college plan, at a premiu more »

Comment on: Removal of historic roof shows limits of preservation law - South - The Boston Globe
The solar panels and the roof are separate and have little to do with each other. There is no reason to remove a slate roof just because solar panels are being installed. A properly installed slate ro more »

@CrystalPhoenix- I would agree with your statement with the exception that those neighborhoods you mention have been waiting a long time for some improvements to be made. Columbian Square has a huge t more »

Comment on: 'Weymouth mayor tried to keep newspaper from senior center'
@Bob Monty- My, my, a little touchy after your recent spanking in the election. The only one that appears to be doing any bashing is you, but that's nothing new, which is why you will never get electe more »

Comment on: 'Winter storms keep roof workers busy'
A silver lining for roofers, not property owners. I notice there was no mention of cost. I'm sure we're talking tens of thousands of dollars in the case of a Walmart. Not to mention the additional wei more »

Comment on: 'Roof collapses prompt hard look at building codes'
First of all, expecting home and business owners to bear the cost or risk the danger of shoveling off their roofs is unreasonable. It is the building inspectorsâ responsibility to inspect the work b more »

Comment on: Slippery slope to nanny state - The Boston Globe
Tip #5- If you go for a drive, be sure to drive right behind a vehicle with lots of snow on their roof, thereby insuring that you will be blinded, or worse, have your windshield broken. Do we really n more »

Comment on: 'SouthField development at former South Weymouth Naval Air Station obtains key financing'
It's good to see Mr. Donovan staying the course. Hopefully something vertical is built sooner than later and the surrounding communities can derive some revenue during this tough economy. more »

Comment on: 'Air base parkway on track'
This is good news. Hopefully, this project will put many of the local residents to work who are presently unemployed and finally give an economic boost to the surrounding communities. more »

Comment on: 'More offensive than the vuvuzela'
The vuvuleza is not offensive, it's irritating. I don't find the tomahawk chop offensive or irritating and I think that sports teams changing their names for the sake of political correctness lack bac more »

Comment on: 'Tempers grow short as street name trimmed at former air station in Weymouth'
More than anything else, this name change represents LNR and Tri-Town's lack of understanding what's important to the surrounding communities as well as their arrogant indifference to their neighbors. more »

Comment on: 'Former South Weymouth air base development plan hinges on new parkway'
No, Weymouth doesn't need a forest or more public transportation. We need businesses that will produce revenue for the town. In the the dozen years since the air base closed, all they have done is bui more »

Comment on: 'Air base agency to pay $9.7m to developer to buy back land'
They're just pushing other people's money back and forth. What a joke. 13 years and counting. Weymouth could sure use some of that money these days. http://www.waheyboys.com/2010/Feb/25/SouthMovie.htm more »

Comment on: 'Weymouth must come up with $900,000 for schools or lose state aid'
How much money could be saved by eliminating the auditors? I guess the auditors in Weymouth aren't use to working with big numbers. I'm happy for the School Dept. and feel badly for the taxpayers who more »

Comment on: 'Developer of South Weymouth naval station pays $1m tax bill'
Just to keep things in perspective, the Air Base closed in 1997, Tri Town was created in 1998, LNR was hired in 2002 and the recession hit in 2009. The million dollars is nice but the surrounding comm more »
Great work, but your point has been made regarding how much these crooks make. What you should focus on now is how many people they have actually put out of work, and out of business, because of the a more »
