The Twisted Tanner Blog

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

Cutting some Zzzzzzzzzzzz's at the Snooze!

Wow, it looks like the Salem Evening News' Internet traffic has come to a sudden halt! Many are fuming over the paper's latest decision to eliminate anonymous commentators from making comments, a freedom of speech issue if you ask me! Heck...if someone really wanted to track down the anonymous commentator they could just simply track their address; that is, if they broke the law?!

Well, anyways...still business as usual here at the Tanner, where freedom reigns supreme!

Until Next Time, Let Freedom Ring!

MEGA VOKE = MEGA BUCKS!!

An article written in the Salem Evening News yesterday "so eloquently" announced the new projected cost of this "Mega-voc" at between 12 and 13 Million dollars. Peabody being hit the hardest of all other towns/cities participating because of it's anticipated enrollment numbers. Call me crazy, but I would have liked to see the 12 Million go into our own Vocational School program! But I guess this is just one of those issues that will be a thorn left behind by the Bonfanti Administration, oh...and by the way, that 12-13 Million dollar estimate will more than likely rise as the projected building costs rise!!

Until Next Time, Let Freedom Ring!
