Dixon proposes creating several public high schools out of CRLS. Dixon says Cambridge should have a high school offering a classics curriculum including Latin and ancient Greek, one with a science-focused curriculum that would include the involvement of professors at Harvard and MIT, a high school for the performing arts, and at least one high school specializing in vocational education.

Dixon, who has twice won state Senate Republican primaries for the Suffolk and Middlesex district, says he is strongly opposed to the proposed redistricting

of Cambridge’s state representative districts.

He says the redistricting “is obviously an attempt to get back at Cambridge” after the city’s economic success and increasing population have increased its power in the state.

Expressing admiration for House Speaker Thomas M. Finneran’s leadership skills but strong disagreement with his political opinions and decisions, Dixon says, “There’s a little bit of a lie going on with the state leadership.”

The redistricting controversy is just another example, he says, of the need for a fundamental change in government.

“It’s a real problem,” Dixon says. “Government’s role is to balance interests as well as to do the right thing.”
