More Money,

Absolutely correct. Shows how she's in the tank with these far-left nutbags.

Yeah, only a nutbag would care about the environment. A normal person would trash the planet and refuse to look at alternative energy since being dependent on expensive oil from the Middle East is so great!

About a week before the election, I believe that there is a debate being held at Fitchburg State College (although I have no idea who's sponsoring it) and there is also a debate next Tuesday the 26th at MWCC in Gardner.

Before you put Jen in that Catergory, meet her, know where she stands, than make your decision. She is not somebody who is hungry for power, she wants to represent YOU. Meet her and talk with her and believe me, you will believe she can make a change.

I have......And I did ask her to represent me.....several times.(her response "...there are too many complicated details..." canned cr@p, ie. too dumb to know anything,BUT smart enough to vote for her) To date she has not changed a thing, Implemented or introduced an initiative.....she is too focused on the party line, not making waves, her next job --- not her current one.

Sorry Mr.Flannagan or Jens' Brother (who ever Jeff is?).....I gave her a shot once.........once, she hasn't earned a 2nd. I wont miss Bob A. either!!!

I have met her, several times. Have spoken with her as well.

Can't even entertain the thought of voting for her. I would feel dirty.

Called her once to lobby for a house bill - no response from her or her aide for days. Finally several calls later, she called me back and pretended to be knowledgeable about the legislation. No action, no influence in the house. Can't imagine that would be better in the Senate.

Leominsterite has Jen Flanagan's number. This woman only wants to get her family state jobs and her friends low-digit license plates. If she's so concerned about the environment, why did she get one of her HACK friends the job of superintendent at Wachusett Mtn State Reservation whose only experience was working at the Leominster Pool. The guy that was passed over for the job has a master's degree in natural resource management, oh, he's a MAN, I get it now.

Hate to pile on Jeff/Jen

Remember how she got the first job (which she isn't doing very well at now) it landed in her lap. I agree w/ Mr X.....She should try doing her current job, before she tries to get a different one. I too have had correspondence with her regarding a vote she mad (while representing us) the only thing she shows experienc in is being a condecending politician.

Look at her voting record - she's a rubber stamp for Big Sal. She's never voted against the party line. Other than school nurses - which she's failed to get through, what has she done? How does that represent US? The only thing she has accomplished is waste gas commuting to Boston, just to vote the way she's told!

Flanagan could care less about the district. She got into the seat riding the coat tails of someone far superior to her. Wong is only backing her because she's a woman. Thats where it ends. Vote Brian.

Yes, she's very condescending...I couldn't believe her behavior at the debate she had with Claire a few years back. Brian will out class her any day...he has the maturity, intellect and exprience that she clearly does not have

Well I guess Jeff and I are the only ones that've got her back.. go Jen!
And while everyone is entitled to their opinions, don't say these horrible things about her, her family, and her friends unless you actually know that these things are fact. It's not fair to either candidate when we make steroetypes and judgements about their lives.
And George from Braintree- Representative Flanagan was able to file and receive a grant for the public school system for alternative funding to the school nurse program, which was facing cuts due to a lack of chapter 70 funding. Because Rep. Flanagan worked tirelessly for this grant, the schools were able to maintain their school nurse program and fund other programs with the remaining chapter 70 funding. So don't lie about or degrade her accomplishments.

Only a crack junkie can relate to Jens policies. I want what is best for me not her lazy criminals need help programs. Jen get a real job then you'll know why I'm voting for anyone but you.
