Improvements to Main Street...etc

Ya, blow it up and start over again!  This time install proper drainage and maybe even a bridge over the monument.  You can NOT fix Main street until you fix the flooding first!  Here in the dark city we have our priorities ass-backwards, and as for making it into 2 lanes!!  Oh my god, could these buffoons be serious, we have discussed this issue more than once on this and other Peabody blogs, so chime in if you feel worthy!

Other news as of late:

Former Coach Edward "Niz" Nizwantowski is in court battling his age discrimination case, in my humble opinion I hope he wins...which is something that the Peabody High Football team has been unable to do since he left.  Go COACH! Oh, and run for School Committee again please we need a solid voice for the kids in those chambers!

And of course that "test-snooping" leutenent that we all know ALL OF THE DETAILS ABOUT...ha ha ha!  Looks like he tucked it to em' too!  So make sure your wearing your pajamas while snooping!

Now one that I oppose with all of my being...the 24 year leave of absence by a teacher whom still will receive her pension!  Let's all congratulate the powers that be for passing that one!  Now I know why we have bus fees and user fees!

ALL ABOARD!

Much to do about nothing...

For the past several weeks I have been hearing a lot about Tom Zellen stepping down from his post at the Electric Light Dept.!  WHO CARES!!  What do they actually do to earn their $4000.00 and cushy benefit packages as electric light commissioners anyways?  Is it the 9 two hour meetings they attend?  Yup, that must be it.  So the buzz is that Mr. Zellen might actually have already been slotted for another salaried position inside the four walls of City Hall!! How ya like them apples?  But, hey..let's wait this thing out and see if you (once again) heard it here first.

The other piece of this puzzle is, of course his replacement!  Well of course one option would have to be Mayor Bonfanti's brother Charlie, but then there is another candidate by the name of John Goulos whom name is being spread throughout the dark city as an option.  We know that Charlie B will not get the support of any of the current sitting light commissioners, but will Goulos have enough support from the members of the City Council that will also have to vote on this appointment?  This one should go down to the wire folks, let's be sure to notice whom is supporting Goulos, we already know whom will be backing Bonfanti!

Take the new poll!  Until Next Time,

Minutes? WHAT MINUTES??

Can you believe this shit?  Just months ago the brain surgeons on the Peabody School Committee were contemplating closing an elementary school, this mind-buster of an idea proposed by the Chair person of the School Committee...Mayor Skirt-tail rider.  Then...just weeks later all of the administrators were given pay hikes...now, (as reported in the Salem Evening News) the School Superintendent gets a raise too?

All the while the bus fees rise and the teachers fight over pens, paper, chalk, and books!  I could have never imagined such a clear and utter embarrassment when I cast my vote for Rossignoll and Hochman last year!  What the hell are these guys thinking?  And Brandi Carpenter's comment about not having time to prepare minutes and that she is not a great note-taker, OMG!

Would you ever have thought that these well respected, vote mongering elected officials would do what is right and in the best interest of the schools and the kids that attend them?  Me Neither.

Until Next Time, Let Freedom Ring!
