📰 News we're reading
• Watertown Renegotiating Contract for BlueBikes, Looks to Get More Beneficial Deal (watertownmanews.com) — Watertown is preparing to renegotiate its expiring Bluebikes contract, aiming for a longer regional deal that could eliminate local operational costs and share ad revenue more fairly. City officials say the new agreement, coordinated by MAPC, should lower ongoing expenses so Watertown mainly pays for stations themselves, potentially improving bikeshare service and financial stability for riders and taxpayers alike. 
• Varsity News: Wrestling with greatness 🤼 (bostonglobe.com) — Watertown wrestling coach Kevin Russo just earned his 500th career win, capping decades of building the town’s high school program from scratch. The statewide roundup also spotlights record-setting wrestlers and basketball standouts across Massachusetts, plus key games and tournaments coming up on the winter sports calendar.
