LAWRENCE.- Massachusetts.- Upon taking his oath as Lawrence’s first Latino Mayor, the Dominican William Lantigua, 53, vowed to work with those sectors which have shown an interest in the city’s development.
Lawrence’s new mayor said he’ll work to reduce the rate of unemployment, highest in the state of Massachusetts. He said he’ll assume his new functions with the responsibility which has characterized entire life.
Among the first measures he’ll adopt Lantigua announced programs aimed at developing the city’s education system and the start of an ambitious plan for Lawrence’s schools.
He also affirmed that during his tenure as he’ll deal with the City Council’s deficit of around 17 million dollars.

He could have sat on his ass ,picking his nose ,comiendo sanchocho and sipping brugal como jose n ann y hablando miedas acerca de LION NEL FERNANDEZ our great leader

I can not bring myself to understand why some Dominicans like to trash their fellow countrymen and their country.
Envy ,Jealousy ?
Lawrence is very depressed part of MA, I believe that is the poorest county in MA and with the lower per capital income and higher asthma rate among its citizens in the state. Moreover, Lawrence has been largely desolated by the mostly Irish working and middle class families that made it a county to begin with. That is why I was always surprise to see a non-hispano mayor in Lawrence since it is a rarity to see a caucasian walking in the streets.
the number one policy that Mr. Lantigua should put into practice is to punish those parents that take,
If you want to fix education, make the parents become part of the education system and hold them accountable for not helping the schools educate their children. Also, hold those parents that allow their kids to work past 7p.m. negligent.
finally, mr. Lantigua, if you ant to revitalize Lawrence's economy go ahead and crack down on the social services abusers, such as those receiving food subsidies with a husband that owns the corner bodega, those receiving rent stabilization subsidies (section 8) and a live in husband in the house and finally those that are not resident in the community, but are renting a house they own and report it as main residen
Good Luck my Brother.
Dag,
What do you suppose is the nationality of these cheats?
