I'm your host, Teddy Panos, coming to you from the WellPoint Studios here in downtown Lowell, bringing you another edition of the show that keeps its finger on the pulse of Lowell and the world around it.

And today, being a Wednesday, the morning after a Lowell City Council meeting.

We're going to focus an awful lot on Lowell, but you'll see that a lot of these issues really kind of do travel to the world around it.

They're not just issues that Lowell is grappling with, but many communities are.

But we're a society that's so hell-bent, I'll say, in making large fortunes of money that we're losing the game.

We're losing the walk.

Which brings us to our final discussion point for today, the subcommittee meeting before last night's Lowell City Council meeting.

It was the housing subcommittee meeting.

Tomorrow, we're going to be joined by Bill Samaras, former Lowell mayor.

We'll kind of recap the Lowell City Council meeting tonight and all the happenings there.

Plus, who knows what else will pop up in the news cycle for us to talk about.

Thursday, programming notes, special edition of The Daily Pulse, another one of our political debates.

So welcome to the race, Zuhair Syed, and we look forward to any other announcements to come.

Tuesday night at the Lowell City Council meeting, the council actually set the date of the special election for February 2nd, so there is still time for people to go pull their nomination papers.

I believe they are available today at Lowell City Hall in the elections office, so anyone interested in running, Please look into it.

Grab your nomination papers.

The reply from Mack, the lengthy reply about the frustration and why they're fighting locally as opposed to these national, these tech giants.

I think a kernel of truth, a little reality that I've long suspected and have said about the anti-flock movement was revealed in the follow-up comment, the follow-up to the follow-up from Mack.

Mack writes, quote, also with the part where you were like, I trust the police, so who cares? First of all, I didn't say I trust the police, so who cares? I said I trust the police, and I think a lot of the folks on the Lowell City Council and the Tewksbury Board of Selectmen and even James Mackey III trust their police.

I don't think any of us said, who cares? I just think we said, we trust them.
