Blogging on local politics may still be a trend in progress. Back in 1775 Minutemen from all over eastern Massachusetts picked up their muskets, answered the alarm and the greatest country on Earth was born. I seek a similar revolution with this blog, The only difference is that our keyboards serve as our muskets. So, if you believe in free speech and holding our politicians accountable, I invite you to answer the alarm in the city of Peabody. I can be reached at twistedtanner@ymail.com

Regional Vocational School Hidden Cost #1
As many of the people whom opposed this merger stated "we do not know what the real cost will be", I'm sure this is the first and certainly will not be the last "hidden cost" associated with this mega voc merger that was not included in the city's estimated buy-in figure. 10k is a nominal fee when we are talking about a multi-million dollar educational facility, but these things all add up. Now why is it that we have a school committee packed with people that are supposedly knowledgable of certain facets of the school system, a superintendent of schools, an assistant superintendent of schools, a business manager for the schools...etc; And we still have to go out and spend 10 thousand dollars of taxpayers monies to hire a firm to do research? And of course mayor bozo did not communicate whose budget would be footing the bill!
Let's all try to keep a tab on the "hidden costs" that were not initially in the merger when our illustrious leaders passed it. What was the original amount?....anyone?
