Word on the street is that ex-pmlp commissioner Tom Zellen could be planning a bid for the corner office! I have to admit...that is the funniest thing that I have heard since someone told me way back when that Bonfanti was a great mayor! And, even that guy woke up to reality. We all knew something was up when this political hack voluntarily resigned as a commissioner. This however is so freakin' funny!!! We all thought that he was lining himself up for appointment to the City Treasurer's position, this could still happen! Watch as Bonfanti gives his cronies big fat handshakes on his way out the door!Next on the agenda is Diamond Dave McGeney! Sources close to the Tanner say that Dave is trying to receive appointment from the mayor to one of these new created positions; "Buildings Property Manager" or something like that. This is why he is undecided on his bid to seek re-election on the School Committee. Another Bonfanti lap-dog licking his chops waiting for his piece of the pie! To top it all off, they already have his school board replacement lined up to step in...more on that as the plot thickens!!!
Sean Fitzgerald recently had his Campaign Kickoff fundraiser at the AOH hall on Main street last Friday night! Some kickoff it must have been...I'm told a measly 30-40 people were in attendance. However the writing should be clearly writtin' on the wall for the Bettencourt posy...NOTHING IN THE SALEM EVENING NEWS ABOUT HIS POLITICAL CAMPAIGN KICKOFF FUNDRAISER that packed the Holy Ghost on Howley street two months ago like sardines to the illegal occupancy levels of 1000 people! Fitzgerald is a nasty dude and his alter boy days at St. Anne's are nothing but a mere memory, this race should be one to go down in history. (Negatively)
Old Nelly typed in today's paper about the elected light commissioners being allowed to pass out retroactive raises to unions and electric light personnel, his grievance was that the highest paid position in the Dark city is Mr. Waters, nothing new. However that now he has 15 more employees with him on the city's top 50! Ouch!! Who the hell in their right mind would allow Tommy Damato to pass out raises? Perhaps Old Nelly is spot on in this instance.
Until Next Time, Let Freedom Ring!
