A mayoral advisory group spearheading the two- year initiative has been meeting since February; the Cecil Group, based in Fort Point, has been tapped as consultants for the project. The meetings come as transportation officials wrap up work on most of the four commuter rail stations they’re adding to the Fairmount Line: the Newmarket stop, by the South Bay Shopping Center; Four Corners, between Washington Street and Geneva Avenue.; Talbot Avenue, near Codman Square; and Blue Hill Avenue, near Mattapan Square. The stations are in various stages of construction and design, with a total price tag of $176 million.

President Barack Obama has earned re-election with an impressive first term that will come to be viewed as one of the most productive, progressive, and — ultimately— successful periods in the history of the modern US presidency. Obama has done so in spite of an inherited economic crisis that would have upended lesser leaders and in the face of a Republican Congress whose sole reason for existence over the last two years has been to undermine the president and his initiatives at every turn. The GOP has failed, the president has prevailed, and we enthusiastically endorse his re-election next Tuesday. The president’s health care reform initiative is a milestone achievement. (In a great irony, his detractors quickly labeled the Affordable Care Act measure “Obamacare”, a term that the president came to embrace and one that will no doubt come to carry his name, to positive effect, through the ages.) Rarely has a president so effectively used his election mandate to such far-reaching and substantive effect. Tens of millions of our fellow Americans— and untold generations to come— will benefit from the reforms. That includes young Americans struggling to find a foothold in the workforce and seniors who will benefit immediately from enhanced prescription drug benefits.

Right to Repair Com- mittee spokesman Art Kinsman said it would be “disrespectful” to ignore the results of next month’s election, while Senate President Therese Murray said she did not think the Senate would be in any rush to start meddling with the language of Ballot Question 1 if it passes.

Voters have heard very little about an issue most agree is almost certain to pass on election-day, and the original proponents and opponents of Question 1 have spent very little money. –SHNS Page 12 THE Reporter November 1, 2012 Reporter’s Neighborhood Notables civic associations • clubs • arts & entertainment • churches • upcoming events District C-11 News Non-emergency line for seniors: 617-343-5649.

But, its effects were comparatively mild here in Dorchester, where the high winds knocked down trees and some power lines, but did not cause widespread property damage. City officials have assembled a team to work with any owners who do need assistance, however. Residents can contact the Boston Home Center at 617.635.HOME or via bostonhomecenter.com. As of 10 a.m. Tuesday, the mayor’s office has recorded 610 total reports of tree emergen- cies and 262 total reports of down wires, via the Mayor’s 24-hour hotline, 617-635-4500.
