Por José A. Ayala

En medio de aplausos, vítores de alegría, e innumerables ¡hurrah! de los presentes, el ex alcalde y hoy candidato a Representante Estatal William Lantigua cautivó a decenas de invitados con su característico discurso compueblano, pero directo, claro y sincero, durante su "Fiesta de Agradecimiento" la noche del sábado en Attika Hall, 1 Mill Street, Lawrence. Lantigua inició su discurso agradeciendo a su equipo de voluntarios y dando gracias a Dios por darle la salud y la fortaleza necesaria para continuar día a día lo que a él le apasiona que es ser un activista comunitario. También agradeció a los presentes por su presencia y el apoyo financiero que han dado a su campaña. El candidato dijo que quienes le conocen por años saben que él es más activista comunitario que político: "... por eso no me siento cómodo cuando me llaman ‘político’ porque soy más activista Al terminar la cena, el Candidato a Representante William Lantigua After dinner, Candidate for Representative William Lantigua que político.

Devers tenía un buen maestro, y no digo maestro porque soy sabio... no lo soy, pero yo encontré gente buena que me ayudó mucho a aprender el trabajo de Representante. Eso que yo aprendí traté de pasárselo a él, pero Marcos no hizo caso", dijo. Lantigua dijo que "el vicio" de Marcos correr todos los años en todas las elecciones era superior al deseo de ayudar a la gente. "Marcos Devers es un político que por atender a sus negocios y por hacer política todo el tiempo... todos los años, ha descuidado la Representación Estatal", dijo Lantigua. La audiencia rompió en una gran risotada cuando alguien preguntó para que otra posición podrá postularse y Lantigua respondió: "En los últimos 15 años, díganme una sola elección en la cual Marcos Devers no haya sido candidato. Bueno si, hay una... para Semana Hispana él no ha corrido todavía". Lantigua dijo que él y la comunidad jamás se imaginaron que Devers iba a defraudarlos de tal manera. "El hombre no ha sido eficiente. Pregunten cuántas leyes él ha sugerido; qué recursos él ha traído a la ciudad; es una tarea para aquellos que no lo conocen. Nos ha defraudado de manera vergonzosa", dijo Lantigua.

It will take place on November 10th in our auditorium. Everyone is welcome but we particularly wish to promote the program to folks who are new to the community and who might be struggling a bit to find out how to access the resources available to them. Literacy Day, obviously, has the goal of promoting family literacy but we will also have a multitude of city agencies and non-profits on hand to help people get informed about everything from fuel assistance to nutrition to ESL programs to everything else in between. I’ll have more detail next time. Meanwhile, see you at the library. 14 .: Rumbo :.
