Things need to be done

In waltham nothing gets done, doesn't matter who you know, who you talk to, who you ask, nothing gets done because they don't care. The high school is a disaster, one classroom had a window missing for 6 months with nothing but cardboard over it, the desks are falling apart, the heat in a good amount of the rooms does not work, there are not enough text books and the ones we have are 40 years old, the one bathroom they open to each gender is absolutely filthy( the bathrooms are a huge issue at whs, you cannot even get in them some days), there are drug deals happening in the hallways, there is no organization what so ever( on several occasions teachers have been absent and no substitutes were sent), I could go on and on. Don't think I'm just a student complaint, whs lacks basic necessities that a public high school should have. That's just the high school, the streets of waltham are absolutely disgusting, syringes, condoms, trash and get they never get cleaned. No potholes get filled. More than half of the street lights don't work. The drug rate I'm waltham is ridiculously  high and is count unions to ride and is anything being done ? No. We need to elect a new mayor who will actually  do stuff and not just sit on their ass all day
