I am very pleased and excited that Ted has begun the “Inside Lowell” blog. His knowledge of Lowell politics and issues is unparalleled. He loves the city deeply, and whether you agree with him or not, you can’t argue his passion for the city. He’s also a very strong advocate of local law enforcement. Upon my ascension to the position of Superintendent of the Lowell Police Department, we immediately began a partnership where each and every week, myself or another Command Staff officer, would appear at the WCAP radio station studio, or call in by phone, and engage the citizens of Lowell in frank conversations about issues affecting the city’s neighborhoods. This collaboration enhanced the community policing efforts of the Lowell Police Department and created the opportunity for the citizens of Lowell to speak directly with their police chief. I will always be grateful for Ted’s work on behalf of the Lowell Police Department.

This whole approach feels very “hey look see… we did our part, we made a whole website with facts! Now do tell your city councilors to be nice to us”. The VHB analysis doesn’t appear to be independent as they were hired by Markley and it has barely any detail in it. There is no contact information on the website to direct any questions to Markley. It seems like a very one-way road to get people to sign a petition. Many of their claims don’t seem to offer evidence or facts that are able to be verified.
