Eric Stone - Brookline Precinct 8 TMM

I am a Brookline Town Meeting Member in the 8th Precinct
I am a dad & husband, cat-cohabiter, and believer in a more equitable, more livable Brookline

[Eric Stone - Brookline Precinct 8 TMM @eric4brookline]

btw: one of our officers has been in her car watching this scene
I asked her if she could do something to ensure pedestrian safety she said "well they closed the sidewalk so..."

know this isn't your guys' fault, but this is kids walking to school, come on @BrooklineMAPD

[Eric Stone - Brookline Precinct 8 TMM @eric4brookline]

this is not an acceptable scene
on Harvard this morning next door to FRR @BrooklineMAPD

who ensures this doesn't happen again?

[Eric Stone - Brookline Precinct 8 TMM @eric4brookline]

it’s almost time to vote!

this is the one!

we live in a society!

@yesforbrookline

[Eric Stone - Brookline Precinct 8 TMM @eric4brookline]

Brookline!
get out there and vote YES this week (in-person voting all week at town hall)
YES for excellent public schools, public safety, public transit, and public parks!
I am proud to increase my own taxes (modestly) to keep Brookline an incredible place to live and raise kids

favorite campaign material in a long while

[Eric Stone - Brookline Precinct 8 TMM @eric4brookline]

very cheeky. I am not saying you are required by law to tell us how you will vote

but you are a public servant, and this is a crucial policy position that should inform people's own votes

are you supporting it or not

[John VanScoyoc @JohnVanScoyoc]

@eric4brookline Thanks for reminding everyone of the power of the secret ballot. Serves to keep both sides working their hardest to earn your vote.

[Eric Stone - Brookline Precinct 8 TMM @eric4brookline]

it's saturday April 11, the election is May 5, and @JohnVanScoyoc has still not told us how he will vote on the override 🤷

[Eric Stone - Brookline Precinct 8 TMM @eric4brookline]

@berkie1 this well-describes a selfless, rational approach to how taxes should work in a society

unfortunately, narcissistic venture capitalists without kids in the schools who think they work harder than everyone else would argue otherwise

[Eric Stone - Brookline Precinct 8 TMM @eric4brookline]

@JohnVanScoyoc that's not a position john
that's saying you're grumpy your proposal didn't win. whether it should or shouldn't have won:

by not saying to voters clearly whether you support the proposal we will all see on the ballot, we are left to guess

not ok in my book

[Eric Stone - Brookline Precinct 8 TMM @eric4brookline]

tho i suppose reading between the lines you're saying you're a "no"

guess i'm a "no" on you too then! ✌️

[Eric Stone - Brookline Precinct 8 TMM @eric4brookline]

please @JohnVanScoyoc reconsider your neutrality on the override
you are running to lead this town and voters deserve to know where you stand on funding it

[Eric Stone - Brookline Precinct 8 TMM @eric4brookline]

as we creep up on the May election, I would like to propose brookline's grumps may choose one (*but not both!) of opposing property tax overrides OR reflexively opposing all construction projects

sorry but we cannot afford to have it both ways

[Eric Stone - Brookline Precinct 8 TMM @eric4brookline]

it is time to build the building in the gravel pit in Coolidge Corner
it is time to build apartments instead of keeping massive surface parking lots

[Eric Stone - Brookline Precinct 8 TMM @eric4brookline]

wen open harvard street @BlineTransport

[Jonathan Berk @berkie1]

Open Newbury Street is back, by popular demand, for another summer of pedestrian only fun every Sunday from July 13 through September 21! 🎉

proud to endorse Michael Rubenstein for Select Board!

among many other reasons, he's the only candidate who voted in favor of Brookline's mbta communities act compliance (and even led the Yes! In Brookline campaign that supported it)

[Eric Stone - Brookline Precinct 8 TMM @eric4brookline]

@fenwayweather how we lookin for tonight's game? my daughter is supposed to sing the national anthem(s) with her choir 🙏

forecast is between .00 and .02" per hour, would be 🟢 usually right?

[Eric Stone - Brookline Precinct 8 TMM @eric4brookline]

@thelifeofkara you could say maybe people are incensed 🥁

what if it wasn't the DEI initiatives from 2017 after all

[Eric Stone - Brookline Precinct 8 TMM @eric4brookline]

when the TSP treats the schools as equal (instead of the priority), we are making a choice to weaken our education system during deficit years

this is the wrong choice
