Heather Brandon gets it right.

 MAToo bad I hadn't read Heather Brandon's June 18th post on Urban Compass. It answers any questions I have (for the moment) about the extension of Springfield's loan from the state and its relationship to the numerous changes Gov. Patrick proposes for the City of Springfield through legislation. Included in the legislation is the extension of our loan, as well as placing a binding question about extending the mayor's term from 2 to 4 years on thi November's ballot. Check the post out for all the details.
