508 is a show about Worcester. This week's panel includes
Worcester Magazine's Scott Zoback and
Brendan Melican.
Scott describes seeing some more Asian Longhorned Beetles. Brendan points out the irony in
this article about police details at construction sites:
One potential scenario could have city councilors taking up as soon as Tuesday a new municipal ordinance that would carve out an exemption from Mr. [Governor Deval] Patrick’s plan for Worcester police; such a move could proceed without a public hearing because it would not be the result of a recommendation from City Manager Michael V. O’Brien.
Detective Thomas G. Daly, secretary of police union local 911 and regional vice president of the New England Police Benevolent Association, expressed frustration with a recent Statehouse hearing on Mr. Patrick’s plan that he said was rigged against police. He and other Worcester officers attended, but were not able to testify.Scott opines on the recent changes at WM and the upcoming changes at the T&G.
