See the SouthCoast Today endorsement for Carole Fiola

In the race for the Sixth Bristol House District, which includes several precincts in Fall River and the Assonet section of Freetown, we need not go beyond the one issue that really divides these two candidates: South Coast Rail.

Incumbent Democrat Carole Fiola supports the project in its current form, which has received environmental permitting and a financial commitment in the most recent Transportation Bond Bill.

Her challenger rejects the already-permitted route and would rather see slower trains, which would make the line vastly less attractive to riders.

There’s no need for us to go any further in the differences between these two candidates. We endorse Rep. Carole Fiola for re-election.
