Down boys. Don't be dumping on the elderly.
Anne is anything but a pin head. Yes she's getting up there, but still formidable, and with gobs of wisdom that comes from decades of political experience in this town. She opposed the Red Hill Expressway. I was a bit surprised by her statement in the paper, but it was a pretty tepid opposition to two way streets if you ask me. I imagine she could be convinced of their benefit.
And I have to hand it to the Spec. They could have chosen to 'balance' the issue with some idiot from the burbs who feels entitled to speed through the downtown. Instead they chose a credible voice who couldn't manage anything more vociferous in the way of opposition than to say that one ways are working 'reasonably' well, and shouldn't be changed 'right now'.
