The bird tattle-tailed with fl irty phrases she didn’t know, confi rming her suspicions that he had been cheating on her. However, since there was no way of knowing if the bird had heard the phrases on the TV, the guy wasn’t charged because charges of adultery against him wouldn’t hold up in court. One thing seems sure. The next time the maid comes over, the bird’s in the closet, huh? Saving Social Security Politicians have been talking about Social Security for years, but rarely want to fi x it. Remember back in 2000 when Al Gore was talking about the LOCKED BOX. They don’t even talk about that anymore. Social Security, we were told back in 1976, was in trouble and we were warned that it could go bankrupt. Twenty years ago, we were told bankruptcy would hap- pen in 40 years time. Twenty years have gone by, and VOTE FOR YOUR CANDIDATE now we are told the whole system will collapse by 2034.

  • Red / Blue Line Connector Assessment – Land Use, Population, and Ridership Memo 2 2
    SUMMARY MEMORANDUM: POPULATION, LAND USE, AND RIDERSHIP CHANGES UPDATE TO THE 2010 DEIR FOR THE RED LINE/BLUE LINE CONNECTOR Published October 2018 1. Introduction In 2010, Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) conducted a study to evaluate the connection of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s (MBTA’s) Red Line and Blue Line in Boston. The Red/Blue Line Connector Project consisted of extending the Blue Line beyond its current terminus at Bowdoin Station along Cambridge Street to the Red Line at Charles/ MGH Station. In March 2010, MassDOT submitted a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) pursuant to the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA). In May 2010, MEPA approved the DEIR. At the time, MassDOT had not identified funding for the construction of the Project. Recent changes in development and growth in Revere, East Boston, and Cambridge, as well as advancements in construction technologies, have generated a renewed interest in revisiting the need for the Red/Blue Line Connector. MassDOT’s Office of Transportation and Planning (OTP), working with the MBTA, has initiated a study to reassess the Project by revisiting previous assumptions developed during the 2010 DEIR. The purpose of this memorandum is to update the data and assumptions regarding population, land use, and ridership from the 2010 DEIR’s Purpose and Need. The 2010 DEIR focused primarily on four Census tracks surrounding the Cambridge Street corridor project area. However, due to their current access to the Blue and Red lines, the communities in this area would likely not have a large effect on demand for and use of the connection.
