Jewish groups are condemning Hamas for launching rockets toward Jerusalem on May 10 as unrest grips the city. Hamas has fired dozens of rockets toward Jerusalem as well as various Israeli communities bordering the Gaza Strip, which included an anti-tank missile that struck a civilian vehicle. The Israeli government has said that it will respond forcefully to the rocket attacks and all options are on the table.
Candidates running for the Mashpee Board of Selectmen have filed their campaign finance reports with the Mashpee Town Clerk ahead of election day on Saturday, May 8.
Marie A. Stone, who is challenging incumbent selectmen John J. Cotton and Thomas OâHara in the three-way race for two seats on the board, spent the most this election cycle with $1,807 in expenditures, $705 in in-kind contributions and $693 in outstanding liabilities.
Mr. Cotton reported $1,117 in expenditures. Mr. OâHara reported $1,110 in expenditures, though the campaign finance report filed by his campaign was incomplete and lacked a detailed list of expenditures.
Ms. Stone also received the most in political contributions with $2,491 in total receipts this election cycle. Mr. Cotton received $2,075 in political contributions, and Mr. OâHara received $2,225 in political contributions.
The Democrats request came shortly after they proposed adding $72,000 to the budget.
The tenor of the discussion abruptly reversed, however, when freshman Democratic Alderwoman Ella Myles proposed a compromise by simply asking the city manager to seek possible cuts or alternate revenue sources to offset the proposed 1.5% tax increase in the proposed budget.
Democrats called the request to ask City Manager John Salomone to find $4 million in cuts to his proposed budget “hypocritical” and “political theater,” saying it’s the council’s duty to deliberate on the budget after the city manager presents it. Republicans countered that they were just looking out for the taxpayers, who have faced job losses and personal losses during the pandemic.

Dear Friends of Ogdensburg,
I spend a lot of time thinking and wondering when my Democratic Party is going to stop being so negative against everything Ogdensburg, and start supporting the progressive vision we have For a Better Ogdensburg. It just strikes me, unfortunately, that the majority of our opposition seems to come from the local and county Democratic committees.
Most recently the Democratic board of the port authority came out with a host of bogus reasons why they could not possibly allow a beach to open on public lands that they own - liability, not enough staff time, parking concerns, and a concern about the “quality” of people who might use the beach. It is true. I was there at the meeting. Who opposes a beach for children and families? Apparently, the Democratic Board of the OBPA. Even the Democratic Council slate is skeptical. After 10 years of do nothing-ism and running the City into financial ruin, you
