The negotiations of Oct. 18th and 19th that started off in two rooms and then converged into one was a stroke of genius. And the presence of Attorney Ragosta made success almost guaranteed. He is as fair as he is tenacious. We needed someone completely driven to get this contract completed. This should have happened 2 years ago but I am grateful that the day is finally here. I have stated many times that we needed to take a page from former Mayor Joe Walsh who locked both sides in a room and wouldn't let them out until they had signatures on the new contract. What Ragosta did last week was a 2017 version of the Joe Walsh plan.

As far as "trust" being rebuilt, I can't see how any of the School Committee members can even ask for that.

Remember "the Ragosta Report"? Attorney Ragosta was the "fixer" then as well. The reputation of the School Committee hasn't improved since.

Thank you attorney Ragosta. We couldn't do it without you.

Happy Autumn everyone.
