NAHANT–Joseph Moccia won’t say who he voted for in the presidential race. But one thing is for sure, the 69-year-old Nahant builder doesn’t think much of either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump.
“It reminds me of that Bufferin Aspirin ad that asks: would you trade a headache for an upset stomach? There was no clear candidate that would save us,” he said. “Each have qualities that I admire, but they both have qualities I don’t like.”
David and Andrea Hathaway were fired up about Question 2 on expanding charter schools. Both voted no.
“As a public school teacher in Peabody, I’ve seen kids from charter schools come back,” Andrea Hathaway said. “We take everyone and charter schools don’t.”
