...percent of the city considered tenants, the referendum will easily pass. Whether it will mean anything hangs on the city council elections on the same day. If the current even split between the conservative Independents and the progressive Cambridge Civic Association (CCA) continues, it will be tough to actually enact the provisions. The Cambridge City Council actually voted down the proposal in August, but CRCC organizers gathered enough signatures on their petition to insure inclusion of the measure on the ballot...
...Here's where the two Bulgarians let me out, and here's the store where I bought several rolls of film..."
