Taking Mayor William ­Lantigua out with the trash

LAWRENCE – Who would vote for this guy?

I’ve been wondering about that since Willy ­Lantigua announced he would run for reelection recently, even as he and his buds are the subject of so many corruption investigations I’ve lost count. The question ­acquired new urgency Wednesday, as ­Attorney General Martha Coakley sued the ­Lawrence mayor for violating campaign ­finance law.

Who would give this guy $36 million of our tax money and think he could know what to do with it? That would be our governor!!! You cannot legislate against stupidity!

I grew up in Lawrence in the 1950ies. What great reputation does Lawrence have? Best thing to do is put a match to the city and let it burn down to get rid of the cancer in Massachusetts.

!Dear Sr. Lantigua!

Lawrence is in the US NOT the DR.  Have a nice day.
