Editor’s Note: The Newburyport Blog has been experiencing a little technical difficulty lately. Alright, a lot of technical difficulty lately. That is why you are seeing the beginning of the Newburyport Blog and not the most recent entries. (Apparently, it may take a couple of weeks, and it’s worldwide, good grief, to get this issue resolved by the “server, host” which we will just let remain nameless for the moment!)

If you would like to see the most recent posts, please press HERE or scroll down and press “Newburyport” under ‘Issues” on the side of the Newburyport Blog. For the moment that seems to work.

==============

Welcome to Newburyport’s Political Blog. This is a blog on issues and politics in Newburyport, Massachusetts.

The aim of this blog is to give people, besides myself, a forum for expressing their feeling on different subjects concerning our small, coastal New England City. Think of this as a Web version of a “Letter to the Editor.”

Opinions maybe passionately expressed, but they also must be civil, constructive and not mean spirited. (We have been called “Cannibal City” for a reason.)

There are guidelines for posting in the “Newburyport Political Blog, Overview and information” Page. That link is on the side of the Blog. Please read it.

Many Thanks, Mary Eaton
