In case you missed it over break, our very own Mike JonesĀ ‘11 was finally inaugurated as Ward 1 Alderman (DeStafano, Jones to be sworn in New Year’s Day).
This week, less than two weeks into his term, Mike Jones wrote an op-ed in the YDN arguing that more cameras should to be installed on traffic lights in New Haven. You can read his op-ed here. Props to him for his effort to bring greater awareness to the New Haven issues that affect the student body, especially considering that the failure to do so was the primary criticism of Rachel Plattus’s tenure last year.
In other news, the YDN reported that a whopping 61 suites in L-Dub failed their fire safety inspections over break, apparently 26 of which were related to fire doors. On the bright side, no reports of bedbugs (yet). You can read the full article here.
