Chris recaps the October 11 Election Commission meeting that was a follow-up on problems with the recent Worcester primary, most of them surrounding voters being put on the “inactive voter” list and Tea Party pollwatchers being kicked out of the polls. If you are a Worcester voter you can check your status here and you’ll have plenty of time to fix any problems.
Quick panhandling update. Summary: still panhandlers, still no anti-panhandling ads.
We recap what’s known about the Andrianopoulos kidnapping and expect the story will become less confusing when Christina returns to the US this weekend.
This afternoon I stopped by Worcester Common for the one-year anniversary of Occupy Worcester. I had a cupcake and chatted with folks, but couldn’t stay until the general assembly began.
From Facebook:

Worcester Magazine has a writeup. I’m a little surprised that the T&G, which ran so many detailed articles about OW last October & November, didn’t mention the anniversary.
There’s also some video online. And notes.

The first real Occupy Worcester event was on October 8 on the Common. This was organized outside the meetings. The first fruit of the meetings was a General Assembly on the Common October 9, 2011. I counted 190 people gathered to talk about our challenges as a society and how to come to grips with them.
