[Summit] November Neighborhood News (Wayland Square)

[David Kolsky]

Please find same enclosed herein.

Since I now know of nothing definite for November and December, it's basically October's column minus the commercial notes, coming in at just over 300 words.

If someone offers me a last-minute addition, I'll try to paste it in and pass it onto you as soon as I can.

Have a good week,

Dave

Neighborhood Discussion Group at Books on the Square

Last scheduled meeting of 2016:
Wednesday, October 26, from 7 to 8:45 p.m., Books on the Square, 471 Angell Street at Elmgrove Ave., next to CVS. Candidates’ forum free and open to all.

(It’s also possible that another meeting will be planned after this column goes to press in early October. Check the right-front window of Books on the Square or the links below.)

Election forum:
At press-time, our Wayland Square group was preparing a forum for local election candidates at our last scheduled meeting of 2016, on Wednesday 26 October beginning just after 7 p.m. (see above).

The only races on Providence ballots in November (apart from those for the White House and the U.S. House of Representatives) are for seats in the Rhode Island General Assembly (state legislature). The general-election ballot will also include several state or municipal bond issues, initiatives and questions.

On our part of the East Side (where state Sen. Gayle Goldin is unopposed for re-election), each of our two state Representatives will be challenged in November.

Rep. Chris Blazejewski, a Democrat who represents the part between Angell Street and Fox Point/India Point, will face Mark Teoli of the Republican Party.

Veteran Rep. Edith Ajello, another Democrat representing the area running north from Angell Street roughly to Brown Stadium, is being challenged by an independent candidate, Ray Mathieu.

All four of these candidates had agreed to speak at our forum.

 Hi all,Just a

If you have any photos, please send them along with
 captions. 

 Please keep your columns to 600 words. If you
