Report on last week’s Northwood Civic meeting

From Tom Waring at the Northeast Times:

City Councilman Bill Green was happy to hear that one of his aides, Scott Mulvey, had helped the Northwood Civic Association solve a neighborhood problem.  Mulvey, who worked for former Councilman Dan Savage before joining Green’s staff in January, made arrangements to stop sewer water from overflowing and going into the garage of an Adams Avenue resident.  The civic group had tried to work with the office of Councilman Darrell Clarke for two years to no avail.  While Green (D-at large) is glad to provide constituent service, he prefers to tackle larger issues.
