A fair write-up, for once…
A Democratic incumbent and a Republican frustrated by what he describes as arrogance on Beacon Hill will face off Tuesday for a House seat that represents Orange and Athol.
State Rep. Christopher J. Donelan, D-Orange, and Athol resident Robert E. Parks are seeking election to the 2nd Franklin District, which also covers Erving, Gill, Greenfield and Warwick.
Mr. Donelan, a former police and probation officer who previously served on the Ralph C. Mahar Regional School Committee, has held the position since 2003.
A columnist and executive director of New Media Alliance Television, Mr. Parks, 50, said House Speaker Salvatore F. DiMasi’s pledge to block the implementation of Question 1, were it to pass, is a perfect example of the “arrogance of power” among legislators.
Now, it’s up to the voters.
Looks like they updated your Resume too Bob.
You’ll do a great job. All the best!
I look forward to hearing some good news Bob. Best of luck.
…and I’m sure it’s innocent enough, but Bob’s picture is a fair amount smaller and beneath Donelan’s.
Bob, I hope to get the job and can do your part to turn your district and the Commonwealth around. As for me, I’m going to attempt to avoid the 25,000 Obama fans a couple blocks away…. bastards can’t even use turn signals when stopping in the middle of a busy intersection to change lanes in front of my motorcycle.
Donelan’s age is given in a subsequent paragraph in the linked-to article.
Why is your age important, but not Mr. Donelan’s?
Me too Rick.
Here’s to wishing you all the luck Bob. I wish I had somebody like you to vote for.
Nice to see that the media can choke down their bias and do a somewhat neutral article.
Here’s hoping for some good news, Bob.
Win, lose or draw, you are still a winner!
On to victory!
