Nice picture of Brad Jones after he voted to raise our taxes. He brags about being praised by Citizens for Limited Taxation and fights Patrick on any tax increase on philosophical grounds but as a citizen votes to take our money because it benefits his family. Hypocrite.

I've noticed people often resort to name-calling when the facts of the argument are against them.

1. Jones fights every tax increase on Beacon Hill.
2. He votes FOR a tax increase that disproportionately benefits his family.

Congrats on your win. I hope you all remain generous when it comes to helping others.

My sincere thanks to all who worked so hard to convey to our community the facts behind the need for additional funding. And thanks to all of you who took time today to vote, no matter what side of the question you were on. Hopefully we can put aside our differences and continue to make North Reading a community that we can all be proud of.

First, I would like to thank North Reading residents for making the difficult, but right decision. Second, I would like to thank Brad Jones for being a great representative of the town.

Brad Jones does represent the viewpoint of North Readingites quite well. They see no problem in taxing their neighbors so their rich suburbanite children can have free tennis lessons but oppose increasing revenue to pay for dental work for indigent families. Well done, Mr. Jones.

You are correct. My application and association remain the same.
