Alan LeBovidge gets to keep his job, too.

Ross Levanto, who lives on Beacon Hill, reports that having the city pick up trash three times a week isn't all it's cut out to be:

The problem is three days of trash pick up means crap is on the side of the street for 42 hours a week. That is one fourth of the week. No joke. Trash is on the street curbs roughly one-quarter of every week on tony Beacon Hill. We have tried to address this issue as a community by shortening the amount of time one can place trash on the curb (what's called same-day pick-up). The problem is this really doesn't give much time for residents to put trash out. The Beacon Hill Civic Association, of which I am a board member, supports same-day pick-up, but we are also trying to move the start of trash pick-up on the hill to 9 a.m. in the morning to give residents two more hours.

His proposal? Cut pickup to just twice a week. He adds he'd also like to give Councilor Linehan a whatfor for his proposal to stop towing cars on street-sweeping days. On Beacon Hill, the threat of towing is the only thing that gets the street cleared for the sweepers.

A group promoting better care for foster kids had all these cardboard cutouts on the Common today (really, they were all there, no matter how Photoshopped in they look in the photo).
