Framingham, my home town, just voted to become a City and elected its first mayor, a Black Woman former public school teacher and vice director of the Museum of Science. She defeated a guy who had been a long part of Framingham's infamously corrupt ""town"" government

This is a HUGE DEAL. Framingham was the country's largest "town" and was totally gutted by corporate heads representing the malls who controlled town government

For the first time ever, Framingham is going to actually have a government made up of locally elected representatives to a legislature with a government that looks like and represents its residents. They're talking about setting up 311 lines and looking into economic planning and just basically finally HAVING A GOVERNMENT.

Framingham had one of the most absurdly overcrowded high schools which might finally get split into multiple schools to meet population needs
