!!!!Please don’t vote for this Mentally defect candidate Elizabeth S. Watkins!!!!!!
She walks the Park Dale housing development complex harassing everyone in her sight. Talks non sense about irrelevant issues that does not matter for anyone’s concern. Very argumentative towards the public citizens of New Bedford, including minor youth around the neighborhood. She is a danger to her self and society. Elizabeth S. Watkins needs to be in a mental ward never mind a city council position.
Thanks,
Lee
Yes I agree, Elizabeth S. Watkins is a person of low moral character. Only in this race for self gain bragging rights and self recognition. Today I heard she called the police on some little kids in the neighborhood stating they were trowing rocks at her and using profanity towards her. Which in doubt is not true at all, Really kids are doing this? She is a PUSILLANIMOUS instead of communicating with the parents, she just going to jump the gun and call the police department. Wow, she just lost my vote too!
Thank you,
James
All of the incumeants are in it for themselves! 44% raise anyone? Former councilors miss the $$ so much they want back in too! Time for fresh faces and ideas.
