The City of Lowell is getting ready to have elections for the city council members today. There should be a good voter turn out as most of the community is upset with city hall.

First, there was the tree trimming which was done under the supervision of Lowell Light and Power. I guess they call it trimming even though they cut down the entire tree. Some streets in town were literally “clear cut.”

Then there was the sale of Lowell Cable, which was also under the supervision of Lowell Light and Power. The cable equipment was declared to be “too old” so the whole system was sold to Comcast who apparently didn’t think that it was too old. This was all done with out notifying the community for their input.

Finally, there is the Boy Scout camp which the city owns. The city wants to sell the land to a developer. The citizens want to keep the land as it is and use it for a park. Once again, the elected officials are not listening to their constituents.

Three of the council members are running for reelection plus there are three challengers. It should prove interesting.
