Finally caught up with taxes...phew, now I can spring back into action and get back to my extra-curricular interest ; blogging about Peabody politics.
It seems as though Boy Wonder has had enough with Dave Gravel's ruling of the headlines and inspirations for the re-zoning of our downtown! According the the Peabody Weekly , Bettencourt has his own vision of the future of downtown Peabody! And he tends to address the council with his vision during the March 11th City Council meeting. He asked Councilor Gravel his permission to do so...why he asked permission, I will never know?
So could this be simply a reaction to all of the Gravel hype, or just a bargaining chip to make a compromise with the Gravel camp? I'm sure they both have special interest contractors and land owners looking after their better interests! Let's see how this all plays out folks, something tells me that in the end a compromise will be made and Gravel with get his way with Bettencourt dodging a nasty bullet of defeat by that same compromise!
