Someone wants to tear down a dilapidated garage on property that the person owns in Boston.
The owner needs the city's permission to do it. And other people, who don't own the land and will likely never step foot on it, can delay it for months.
The two candidates for mayor of Amesbury disagree on whether the city's public high school should keep its current Indian mascot.
James Kelcourse, a current Republican state representative and challenger, supports keeping it, while Kassandra Gove, the current mayor and chairman of the city's school committee, says the mascot should go, according to The Daily News of Newburyport.
