A Record of Achievement for Lowell Mayor
A Lowell mayor secured new trains improving travel, urged health rules for gas piping tests, and backed shade tree protections. He opposed public funding for private street booms, forced police to revoke a hotel license, and eliminated dangerous grade crossings at Middlesex street station.
