To the Honorable Board:

 

My client, GE & M, would like to have the Aldermen reconsider their vote 4/26/15 approving their Garage License for a six month period. This approval came after a prior approval of three months for their license. My client would like to have an opportunity to respond to any issues that concerned the Alderman regarding the operation of their garage. They have collected 104 signature of neighbors (Gordon Street) and Somerville residents supporting their request for a one year license. The readers of 'Wicked Local" voted my client the No. 1 choice for Auto Service and Repair in Somerville (2014). My client makes this request because he wants to put an end to the rumors that his property is targeted for redevelopment and that the short extensions of his Garage License are a prelude to a concerted effort by the Aldermen to force him out of business. Because the Alderman denied GE & M the customary one year license, they are asking for reconsideration of that vote. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

 

Mike Savage, Esq.
