From Worcesteria, in Worcester Magazine

“…MINUS JOHN CANDY: City Councilor Kate Toomey, who is among five Democrats vying for their party’s nomination in the race for 15th Worcester District state rep, announces a three-part white paper on transportation. Toomey is calling it “Trains, Planes and Automobiles,” the title, a play on the awesome comedy starring the late John Candy in what was arguably the best performance of his career. As its title suggests, Toomey’s plan focuses on the city’s and state’s transportation infrastructure. Trains, she writes, are getting a rebirth of sorts with the expansion of CSX in Worcester. She also cites the Providence & Worcester Railroad as helping to strengthen the city’s claim of being the center of moving goods and services around New England. For planes, Toomey refers to JetBlue, which appears to be getting closer and closer to setting up shop at the on again, off again Worcester Regional Airport. Finally, she writes, her paper will address automobiles and the need for continued maintenance of bridges and roads. Worcester Mag extends the invitation to all candidates – Democrats Dianna Biancheria, Frank Beshai, Ralph Perez, Mary Keefe and Republican hopeful Brian O’Malley – to submit their own plans.”
