If they fail, the voters are likely to pull the levers--or sit the election out-very much as they have in the past, and November 4 will see Cantabridgians endorsing two more years of the same.Councilor ALFRED E. VELLUCCI and Mayor WALTER J. SULLIVAN face off at the city council meeting last week...
