Mike Benedetti and Brendan Melican508 #3: Grace Ross, foreign policy, cultural grants, and boxed lunch (September 28, 2007)
508 is a show about Worcester. This week, Brendan Melican and I talk about the city:
- At-Large City Council candidate Grace Ross has come under fire (T&G, WoMag) for a statement she made about Israel's war with Hezbollah, and her party's statement on Darfur. (Relevant Wikipedia page: International response to the Darfur conflict)
- Brendan: "I think it's gonna be a shame if she does lose any votes, and especially if she gets knocked off . . . because pf something that really doesn't seem to have a lot to do with the city."
- Mike tells the joke about Mike Perotto and Darfur.
- Worcester Magazine's Scott Zoback, who's done most of the local reporting on Grace Ross's foreign policy positions, is now defending himself on the Telegram & Gazette message boards. (The Speakeasy, aka The Sewer. I can't find the thread mentioned; can someone send it to me? There are whole 30-post threads on there written by a single person. Crazy.)
- In positive news, the Worcester Cultural Coalition is making lots of grants available to individuals and organizations for cultural endeavors.
- In other positive news, you can now buy tasty, vegan, boxed lunches each day at noon at the Artichoke Food Co-op.
