There have been ??? total cases of COVID-19 in Melrose.
Thanks for the question! As you can imagine, the situation and data changes quickly. Stay tuned for more updates.

Re: Ask the Mayor!

Posting the same thing in multiple threads is annoying. Like a child In the backseat that won’t stop repeating the same thing over and over.

Re: Ask the Mayor!

The economy is slowing, the market is in turmoil and heading for a "correction", and some pundits have predicted a slowdown so severe that it threatens recession.

Point of correction: we are already well into a recession. Thank God the override passed and we will be able to afford the quality schools this City deserves.

Re: Ask the Mayor!

Is there enough time to get another override on the ballot in November, just in case the schools need more money?
Aren't all the old people going to get some extra money? They can't complain about not being able to afford it this time!

Re: Ask the Mayor!

When you woke up this morning, if you're like me, you thought about your kids right off the bat. Where are they, are they safe, are they feeling loved, and what can I do to help them.
For my kids:
-They're at home.I shower them with love and kisses everyday
But what can I do to help them? As a parent, what can I do to ensure my child's success and safety in Melrose? What do they NEED from me?There's only one real answer.You all know who I mean.We all elected him in 2019 I'll admit, back then even I was still in the dark about his inner self. Just like all of you, I was dazzled by his newfound success in Melrose politics. I was under his spell.
Little did I know it was dark magic.
His charm.
His quick wit.These are his weapons. He preys on the weak, on the impressionable, and takes advantages of the innate human quality that is compassion. He had me fooled. He has all of you fooled.
It's time to wake up.Mayor is pretentious. He is arrogant. He has taken credit for the success of our great city. He has taken credit for what you all have done for our home. You made Melrose what it is. Do not let him trick you into thinking this was through his doing.Stop letting him fool you.It is up to us.

Great suggestion! I’ll make sure we forward the idea to a committee to look at the Phase II Override this fall. I agree that now is the time!

BTW - I think you may have misspelled my name; also there is a message in another thread that you shouldn’t be posting with someone else’s name. Wouldn’t want you to get in trouble.

Re: Ask the Mayor!

It was obviously a poor attempt at humor, not an attempt to pretend I was indeed "you" (but you knew that). And OF COURSE I was being facetious, we certainly can't afford another override, for anything, particularly for a school system in free fall!

Re: Ask the Mayor!

Maybe the bigger question is recession going to us city and all us her in melrose and the businesses.

The questions should be about Coronavirus information to help all of us.
So Paul Brodeur how do we stop this corona-virus 19 and what else can we do?
Look again. Very important

Re: Ask the Mayor!

Ask the MAYOR is done answering questions.

Re: Ask the Mayor!

When is yard waste going to be on a regular schedule.I hope this is an easy question for are current mayor.

Re: Ask the Mayor!

Straight Answer from the Mayor....Doubtful!!
When is the so-called Mayor ever going to give a straight-forward, honest answer to a question? Instead of the usual political avoid-an-answer-that makes-me-look-bad. So, the questions are: when are you going to get rid of Ruth Clay and the DPW chief? Without the usual skirting the issue language.....you have been in politics a long time Mayor, and your evasiveness shows it!!
The problem with thinking you know more than the experts.

Re: Ask the Mayor!

So to let you all know the field at the High School is closed all others fields here are ??? because of Coronavirus.Thank you Mayor Paul Brodeur are safety comes first

Re: Ask the Mayor!

How are closed fields supposed to increase safety.

Re: Ask the Mayor!

Please explain how people working out in a field or public park or beach is unsafe. What is unsafe is closing fields and parks causing masses to gather in places that are open. Did anyone happen to see the crowd at Breakheart this weekend?

Come on Rose, l’m waiting. Please explain how closing a field increases the public safety

Re: Ask the Mayor!

The crowds at Breakheart are because of all the girls parading around in those disgraceful stretch pants. They’re sinful I tell you!

Re: Ask the Mayor!

It's unsafe if even a few aren't maintaining social distancing, which some of them weren't dear. It's the 5% rule - 5% of people ruin everything for the other 95%. Breakheart is run by the state, as you well know dear.

A whole-of-government approach means not only Federal government—but a true partnership between Federal, state, and local leadership.In coronavirus response.a new layer to the looming crisis facing all.

True partnership is all of us helping each other at this time.It is not easy being home everyday.Many people been followed from the jobs or layoffs. No one wins when you have no jobs are lost. This is about time it something that none of us been through .Yes employment checks don:t cut it.Life changes Go from working everday to no work.Not easy on anybody.

Re: Ask the Mayor!

Can someone explain to me why my post was deleted? I guess this message board doesn’t want to have an open dialog. I have heard about this problem previously here. Oh well, I guess I’ll be moving on.

Re: Ask the Mayor!

Just another player.Just a bunch phonies.Talks to help you understand what:s really going on in the world about coronavirus virus.This is not test about life.You all need to wake up.This is Melrose.

Re: Ask the Mayor!

What???? WTF are you talking about? Unbelievable.

Re: Ask the Mayor!

Question for Mayor Brodeur: What are you going to do about the terrible conditions of the roads in Melrose. I bent a rim on my truck this past week and want to know where I can submit for reimbursement of my damages from the City. What the hell is going on with these roads?

Re: Ask the Mayor!

To get through the stuck-at-home days of the coronavirus pandemic, Americans have spent significantly more time than usual in front of the TV, gorging on streaming shows, news programs, old sitcoms and video games.

This is the same dumb poem you write and post multiple times in the same thread. No one responds because it is uninteresting and half-jibberish.

Clean it up and get a different slant.

Re: Ask the Mayor!

Nobody:s forcing to read this string.Maybe time for you to go to bed to get a good night sleep.

Re: Ask the Mayor!

Sorry about your rim John, our road repair equipment was in Lynnfield that day,but you knew that already,you rascal!!!

Re: Ask the Mayor!

Why didn’t we enact stay at home policies and wear face masks in 2017-2018 when there were 70,000 flu deaths in the United States?

Re: Ask the Mayor!

Apples and oranges, but you know that, just looking for someone like me to call you a koolaid drinking buffoon. But I’m not gonna do it!

Re: Ask the Mayor!

The welfare of humanity is ALWAYS the alibi of tyrants.

Re: Ask the Mayor!

Exactly. Did you know the average age of death from covid-19 in MA is 82. That’s incredible considering the average life expectancy is 80.

98 % of these folks had underlying causes.

It is absurd that we’re destroying the economy and countless lives by blindly following these dimwits.

Re: Ask the Mayor!

Those numbers are crap Mel, of course, which means we probably know what buffoon you're getting them from!

Where Incredible Friendships Begin.Maybe that walk around the block as you look at all neighbor:s windows.Keeping it positive in the Neighborhood.For some folk"s the Stay At Home order is a long walk around the Neighborhood and the City Melrose.
