I've found Mr. Sullivan's frequent posts (and tirades) to the Belmont Patch over the past few weeks to be rather strange for a public figure seeking election. A seemingly manic "in it to win it" middle-of-the-night post then resigning his campaign? Defensive, argumentative posts punctuated by the comment "Time to grow up"? I resolved that I wouldn't vote for him after that last outburst, regardless of his seemingly good intentions or qualifications. I wonder if others might have felt the same.

I love when people hide behind screen names on here and on wickedlocal.com. At least I'm not afraid to stand behind what I say.

At least Matt has stood up for Belmont Taxpayers and against another massive, multimillion dollar waste of Other Peoples' Money in opposing the reelection of Hal Shubin.... swo a majority of the votes feel as he does.

To hear others tell it, the current library is too old and decrepit to repair, while a "historic" barn at McLean is a national gem.

At least Matt has his priorities correct.... if you cannot afford it, don't do it. You have already maxed out your grandkids' credit card.

This was a very hard decision to make but I feel strongly that I made the right one at this time. I love Belmont and will continue to stay involved as a TMM and member of the Board of Library Trustees. I

Rich,
Where would you put all the kids that are in the school that you would close?
I don't think that is an option. I know as a School Committee candidate I wouldn't recommend closing any of the schools.
