Another fixed election to keep Phyliss Hull out of office. Whenever there is a true voice for the people they are kept from political office in Wakefield. This town is a scam. Phyliss was first to run and all of a sudden there are people coming out of the woodwork to keep her out of office... Wake up people of Wakefield. This town is bleeding you dry and lying to you all. The Galvin can be renovated and it won't cost $70 million dollars. I wonder how the WHS accreditation will pan out.. How much you want to bet the town government will cry that a total replacement of the WHS will be needed to comply. Teach our children to be green... RENOVATE DON'T OBLITERATE THE GALVIN!!!!!!!
