Just reaching out to my captive audience here a bit... there is an editorial in today's Salem Evening News from current Electric Light Commissioner Thomas Zellen in regards to a parcel of land on Bartholamew Street. He is apparently at odds with the decision that was made by the Board of Appeals to grant a variance to build six homes to a private developer on land owned by the city when the applicant does not own the land in question, and does not have a purchase-and-sale agreement, or any other incident of ownership, in the subject property.
Does anyone out there in blogland know why this situation seems to bother Mr. Zellen so much? Was this piece of land on Tom's radar? Can someone shed some light? HERE is your story.
