MISSING ‘HEALTH INSURANCE’ MILLIONS PROVIDES FITTING FUNEREAL SEND OFF
BY DAN VALENTI
PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY
(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, WEDNESDAY AUG. 19, 2020) — Money comes, money goes. That’s the insight provided by ServiceNet’s Jay Sachetti in NOT explaining why the homeless were kicked out of SJHS and left to rot in Springside Park. Funny that neither mayor Linda Tyer nor community development director Deanna Ruffer have offered any explanations. That, however, is not THE PLANET‘s topic today. Our topic is money coming, and money and a man going … going, mostly as in …
The funeral mass for Gerry Doyle, conducted of late, we were told.
Can’t say for sure. THE PLANET didn’t attend. We had no interest sitting in a crowded church during a pandemic, especially where the sardines packed the can elbow-to-elbow sans masks.
Did anyone cough? Did anyone sneeze?
For working stiffs, funerals must be limited to 20 people. For the elite, the rules don’t apply. Pack the church. Fill the air with viral droplets. Call the pourer of large drafts. We only hope they haven’t reignited an outbreak of COVID-19.
Doyle’s great accomplishment as mayor — next to his nefarious involvement with convicted felon Michael “EV Worldwide” Armitage, next to his selling out the city with the Consent Agreement, next to his failed attempt at a coup during the Civic Authority debacle, and next to a balloting error that invalidated an election — has to be the health insurance scandal whereby the city stopped paying premiums on employee health insurance. Where did the money go? Don’t know that we ever found a satisfactory answer. We DO know that it left taxpayers at least $6.2 million in debt. We DO know that Doyle got rid of his pal, finance director David Kiley, sending him out of Pittsfield with $45,000 and a certificate. Kiley resigned in 2001 less than 24 hours after the $6.2 million deficit came to light. Another of those Pittsfield “coincidences.”
To get out of the financial muddy, Pittsfield begged Boston for permission to borrow $10 million. Boston said yes on condition that the Department of Revenue, not the city, control the city budget. What humiliation.
Funny that neither Doyle, Kiley, not anyone else faced the music for these odd happenings. They couldn’t be assumed innocent. That can only happen to a person following criminal charges.
———- ooo ———-
After Sara Hathaway beat Jimmy Ruberto in November 2001 to become Doyle’s successor, former city soliticor Sam Landa and insurance investigator Kenneth Ramsdell sat with Hathway in Landa’s office on North Street to inform her of the breadth of the health insurance scam. The essence was that both Kiley and Doyle were bonded and that the city could go after the bonds to recover the missing money. THE PLANET sat in the room along with then-state sen. Andrea Nuciforo. The meeting ended with Hathway promising to go after Doyle and Kiley as her first official mayoral act. Landa drew up the documents, held in escrow to be signed after the swearing-in ceremonies.
Funny thing happened, however. Nuciforo got on the blower to Boston, and then next thing you know, ol’ Jed’s a millionaire. Hathaway had a “come to Jesus” Damascene intervention, state officials pulled strings behind the scenes, and the new mayor suddenly “forgot” about the whole thing. Nuciforo paid back Hathaway by driving the bus over her when she went after the Registrar of Deeds job, a make-work post Andy coveted.
He got it the job. She got Siberia.
Strange days, indeed. Most peculiar, momma.
The moment “They” got to Hathaway marked the assassination of the city formerly known as Pittsfield. Hathaway should have gone after the bonds. It would have harvested Pittsfield millions in payments and prevented the need for a state take-over. But no. She played ball. After Jimmy came back in 2003 to defeat her in Hathaway-Ruberto II, the city’s fate was sealed.
The Suits have been in control ever since.
We end by saying that THE PLANET puts no faith in the rumor that after Doyle’s funeral, the bill on the bottom read, “Please come again.”
As a fellow human being, I loved the guy. As mayor, Doyle inflicted the most damaging corner-office tenure in city history.
Requiescat in pacem.
The dead always do.

Oh boy here come the JM lucifaro rants.
Speaking of not living in the city, Hathaway lived in Richmond with her lesbian lover her entire term as mayor.
Where did that money go?
Blogger Dan Valenti asked me to no longer comment about him. I complied with Planet Valenti’s request. Thank you for understanding. Best wishes, Jonathan Melle
Some of JM’s “Luciforo” rants are well warranted.
Andrea played the D-political system for personal gain.
Isn’t he involved with the Dalton Ave pot farm? Who evicted Salvation Army and got quick State approval?
In Pittsfield politics, the Good Old Boys are all interrelated and have controlled state and local government for generations. Gerry Doyle and Jimmy Ruberto both had family members who were in charge of City Hall. In closing, it is “All in the Family” when it comes to Pittsfield politics.
Problem is that there are several meat heads.
Tofu heads too!
As well as cabbage heads and dickheads. Lotsa dickheads.
Was he ill ?
The newspaper headline about the Proprietors Lodge social distancing issue seemed to lose itself about the same time the subject was brought up about the funeral. Imagine that.
I happened to drive by St Charles Church yesterday morning. What’s going on?
At first I thought there was another shooting, as I approached there were several PPD and Sheriff’s car with lights on.
Certainly more than 20 people just milling about outside, didn’t bother to look if they were masked.
Soon realized that Doyle must have been Catholic
Apparently the Doyle family is above the law. My nephew’s wedding scheduled for Oct. has been cancelled, my friend’s funeral was an “immediate family only” event – but for Pay-to-Play Polito and Gerry Doyle there are no restrictions due to the pandemic.
Supposed to have been “live streamed” so all can see who/how many were there.
Why all the LEOs? Was there fear of retribution for what Gerry did to Pittsfield/Berkshire county with the “consent decree”, with GE?
Are the funeral attendees/family members from out-of-town quarantining for 14 days or taking the covid test? Were all names & addresses of attendees taken for contact tracing? Was a meal provided at a restaurant and did the restaurant follow occupancy limits? Since the police were at the church, were they enforcing the church’s occupancy limit, mask requirement and social distancing rules?
LENNY
Good questions, but as you know, the rules don’t apply to The Suits.
I know several churches in the south have gathered together and caused a lot of virus spread. You would think churches would learn that those kind of gatherings go against all medical advice.
Who would put something like this together and be able to get so many others to go along with it? Same with the Proprietors lodge? Don’t they care about their community?
Well,Gerry won’t catch Covid so who cares about anyone else.
Not above the law, connected! BIG tribute from the Sheriff on FB; separation of church & state on the St Charles service courtesy of LGB123 ( celebrated by the Rev. A. Peter Gregory). OT for the PPD detail probably from cancelled 4th of July parade (crowd was probably bigger, too).
Pittsfield is RIFE with politics and it’s about time it came to an end!
WHAT A BUNCH OF B.S. This send-off for a clown is an insult to all the good, honest, taxpaying people of Pittsfield.
the catholics have wine.
They were not sipping yesterday at St. Charles. Besides Gerry was a vodka and diet guy.
You can have large funerals for the elite, large wedding gatherings at proprietors, march in the streets unmasked under the guise of BLM, but allowing in school instruction to kids? OH NO!
You want to support minority youth and the most at risk children? Open the damn schools. Despite not one child dying in the state of MA from COVID, we are paying for a $125 million dollar school that is collecting dust while parents teach their kids from home and balance work. We have paid teachers and administrators since March to stay home while the rest of us either got laid off, somehow made it work from home, or are still unemployed.
To all the politicians out there who marched and made it seem like they actually cared about minority communities, the most racist thing you possibly could do is widen the achievement gap by going full remote instruction.
It’s easier to indoctrinate by a tablet/computer.
Parents best home school youngsters and turn off internet/social media BS.
Besides MSM being corrupted, social media (Google, tweeter, facebook, ….) are all having an agenda , and it’s not good for America
With the online learning, the parents will get a chance to see and hear exactly what the children are being taught. I read where some are concerned with parents being able to tune in along with their kids.
Fox news supports Q anon and Putin for Trump.
Chronic/terminal TDS acting up TSC?
Maybe watching this week’s D-circus/infomercial is agrivating your condition?
Not until a liberal gets victimized, THEN we get a newly-minted conservative.
We have to wait for Trump vacationers to come home from their summer places.0ct we get a good idea if 2nd homeowners got covid
Cuomo already sent the Berkshires thousands of 2nd homeowners from Covid infected NY state this spring.
Or wait for the people leaving Democratic run cities by the thousands that are burning and being looted that might have COVID to settle in our area. That’s where the second spike will come from.
Recall that the city was paying premiums to an insurance broker out towards Boston who was a buddy of Kelly’s, but said broker was not submitting the money to the insurance carrier.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1295461903268040707- This video puts in perspective why Pittsfield, Springfield, Portland, cities et all(Those democratically run) are in the deplorable state of disrepair they are in
(SH)Twitter did a Hildebeast “bleach bot” on that link right fast . They are in tune with censorship of others views, while promoting vile leftists.
Horace, got a screen shot?

I posted a link to that, here, two days ago!
Keep it going.
D-s hate the truth!
They hate the truth, reality, and sanity. Ungrateful, bitter children, who have lost their Prize marbles(power)to a highly accomplished player(TRiUMPh 2020) and can’t figure out a way(to their own demise) to get their marbles back. They all suffer from the “Biden Touch”. Everthing they touch turns to s…
Trump cheated in 2016 election with Russia.
TSC could you tell me which alternate universe you are living in so we can communicate in reality time
Joe Biden thinks Huey Lewis passed away, and your worried about Trump and Russia?
Are you guys getting the covid treatment from Trump my pillow guy?
You get your covid treatment from George’s.
That was great! There is no civilized country in the world that doesn’t have police. This is total insanity. They want violence to spread across the country so they can then say that guns are causing the problem and not the lawlessness that they are allowing to happen.
So all this violence that is coming…did someone tell all the perps not tot target democrats? I mean you are not saying that the democrats want violence that might come onto them are ya?
Yes Johnny, the D-rats promoting this violence are having their rats come home to their nests.
https://bigleaguepolitics.com/watch-portland-mayor-ted-wheeler-shamed-by-leftist-mob-after-appearing-at-protest/
Wheeler was fully surrounded by left-wing protestors and rioters and aggressively publicly shamed. The mayor’s attempt to recite a set of pro-riot talking points was quite literally overwhelmed by the curses of the rioters, who made it clear that they see Wheeler as nothing more than a “fascist.”
At one point Wheeler was asked whether he supports the outright abolition of the Portland police. He was brutally shamed after he responded to the negative, in a scene eerily reminiscent of the public shaming of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey at a similar left-wing protest weeks ago.
No police equals lots of violence across the country. It’s that simple. Criminals aren’t suddenly going to decide to become good citizens. Getting rid of prisons?!? That one is really frightening too. The rich Dems will hide out in their mansions watching the violence and eating popcorn surrounded by their expensive security team. The poor Dems aged 18 to 24 who stupidly believed the lies of the far left Progressives will just get used to a world filled with violence and anarchy. Everyone else will be complaining, but the politicians will not be listening since the citizens foolishly and stupidly gave them all the money and power.
HH: “(Dems) hate the truth, reality, and sanity.”
Pat: “(Dems) want violence to spread across the country… “
Sorry, guys, but these statements are just not true. Tell me, what good does this exaggerating do?
Burst your bubble Jerry, a D-rep from Ma

As Protest Violence Mounts, Rep. Ayanna Pressley Recklessly Calls for More ‘Unrest in the Streets’
They are in denial. Their fragile psychys will not allow them to admit they were wrong to fall in love with the devil himself. If they could allow themselves to admit they made this horrendous mistake in judgment they would hate themselves till the day they died. There brain has gone to a “safe mode” of denial.
I formulate my conclusions on direct observation, stated facts and truth. Exaggeration is used to supplant the truth and create prevarications that are wrong and can cause misunderstandings, which I would never purpose to do. Just what exaggerations are you speaking of?
What exaggerating?
It is at least an exaggeration, and I would say an untruth, that Dems hate the truth, hate reality, and hate sanity. Listen to those words! It is also untrue that Dems want violence to spread across the country. I know many Democrats, and none of them hate the truth, reality, and sanity, and none of them want violence to spread across the country. NONE of them. Why make such claims that are so patently false? It does not help the situation and only makes things worse to make such statements.
Who’d they vote for ,Jerry?
Hillairy? Follow the trial of “Arkancides” the Clintoons have left. Seth Rich for sure, maybe Epstien too!
Pictures just came out with Slick Willie getting a “massage” from one of Epstien’s sex slave/prostitutes.
The Clintoon foundation, ask the Hatians about that!
Bengazhi, Hilliarys deleted emails,fraudulent FBI/DOJ under Sotero going after Trump before the election, look at Pittsfield/mASSachusetts
Why do the Democrats want to get rid of police? Nobody has a good answer for that question.
Why did Trump promise to show his tax returns but then made up a series of ridiculous lies as to why he wouldn’t?
No Democrats I know want to get rid of the police. They want to reconsider the allocation of resources and send more of the $$ to a separate function that the police do now but is better done by non-police.
That’s just a politically correct way of saying they want to get rid of the police. It’s called defunding the police. The Marxists say in their own manifesto that they want people to have no private property because then they will not need any police.
Yeah right – they want the funds for “counselors” to invade your privacy, intrude on your childrens’ lives. What the hell are you thinking?
Are you living under a rock Jerry? The Dems are pushing gun control and chaos through defunding the police. They prefer Antifa and BLM over policing and justice. The goal is chaos and destruction of the economy to usher in socialism/globalism.
That’s BS Jerry. Move to NYC and enjoy.
Democrats want you to call a social worker and wait a week/month.
Does anyone like the my pillow
Poll the bedbugs and lice
So the guy that sells crappy pillows on FOX news is now selling a bogus non approved miracle cure for the virus. They know that if Trump endorses it there are 40 million Trump groupies who will buy it out of loyalty. TRump gets 51% and nobody gets cured. It is called “The Art of the SCam” and it is aimed at a captive audience who follow Trump around with their tongues hanging out like a dog on a hot day. maga
TSC has pillows for you Johnny. Enjoy!
Fair points from a man I love!!

Watch this. It is the truth and stark reality of the Democratic governing legacy
I still lived in Berkshire County when Pittsfield Mayor Sara Hathaway was ousted by Jimmy Ruberto. A political group called WHEN (or Women Helping to Empower Ruberto) was formed and 3 women named – the lovely Linda Tyer, Tricia Farley Bouvier, and Pam Malumphy – were elected to the Pittsfield City Council. WHEN did not make a mayoral endorsement, but they informally backed Jimmy Ruberto for Mayor. Ruberto appointed the lovely Linda Tyer to be City Clerk, and Tricia Farley Bouvier worked in the Mayor’s office for a number of years. Ruberto and Pam Malumphy had a falling out. The lovely Linda Tyer followed in Jimmy Ruberto’s footsteps and is the 2-term Mayor of Pittsfield, while Tricia Farley Bouvier has been a Pittsfield State Representative to Beacon Hill for nearly one decade. Pam Malumphy is on the outs with the lovely Linda Tyer and Tricia Farley Bouvier. WHEN was successful for Jimmy Ruberto (of Naples, Florida and Lenox), the lovely Linda Tyer (of the millionaire gated community), and Tricia Farley Bouvier, but left Pam Malumphy on the sidelines. WHEN has since disbanded. In closing, as blogger Dan Valenti puts it: Pittsfield politics has been controlled by the Suits since 2004 or since the start of the Ruberto regime.
WHEN failed to establish credibility when they wouldn’t support Hathway.
They are the Rubber Toes weak little girls. Women empowering weak women. No threat to the MEN.
Those candidates won without Q or Russias help
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9a3eCHij4Vo
WHEN was a colossal failure. It showed that, these woman at least, could not handle power. As soon as they got it they submitted to the male and became subservient. Now at least two of them have superficial power. Power of a position. But neither of them makes a move without a man telling them exactly how to make that move.
More poor role models for young woman who need to choose their mentors more wisely.
True, dat.
At the meeting was Luciforo peeling a boiled egg with extra long finger nails and claiming he was about to eat JM’s soul? I would have loved to have seen that.
I actually think JM seems like a gentleman. The description of what rock Tricia Farley crawled out of to come to prominence seems to tell me a lot. We have lady puppets and thieving old boy puppeteers.
Has anyone heard how the Community Development meeting pertaining to the homeless issue went last night? For some reason, ba! ha! ha!, the Berkshire Beagle has no article about the meeting, wonder why, hiding something again? Tried to watch it last night but once again it was a complete City of Pits ZOOM disaster. Thought I might have heard that they once again delayed the vote but I am not positive as you couldn’t decipher much of what was being said. Between watching the CC ZOOM Hollywood Square meetings and then this meeting last night, I am fearful for the Pittsfield Public School virtual learning. The poor students of Pits. Still wondering why these meetings could not be held in the gym of the taxpayers new high school, or is it too small for 10 or 12 people. But then again our politicians ZOOM from home yet the City allows a huge funeral to go on with multiple police detail yet we have no traffic enforcement on the City of Pit’s streets.
Did Milltown capitol just get another ten year tax breaks for housing stuff? Well not to worry folks because Mr Kerwood will just put what they would have paid in taxes on their stuff onto your stuff., and you can pay their share for them. Welcome to the Tyer kingdom of clowns and card tricks.
If it seems to good to be true it usually is. Whose pockets are they lining? Remember Bernstein and Rosenthal and the failed SPICE. No taxes for twenty years. They pulled the proverbial wool over the sheep’s eyes. Remember the art of Sheeptacular. The Ruberto colossal failure of the
Ruberto regime. Art. It was all under the Doyle administration.
LOVE U Merry And Bright. I want to Love My Vibrant and Dynamic Vibrator The Linda.
Nan Bookless shared an update on Pittsfield Urgently Needs This Emergency Shelter!
Planning Board Delays Decision
The board members still have questions concerning program and neighborhood impact, and need time to study and understand the answers they were given. The next meeting is September 2 [2020] at 6p.m.
Thanks Jonathan.
The rate they are going hopefully they will have it straightened out by the time the snow flies and the temperature is below zero, although I don’t have much faith in it. Getting tired of all these City committees and sub-committees playing this “don’t have all the answers game”. What has happened to making sure you are prepared for a meeting? They all need to sh** or get off the pot and start doing their jobs. Peoples well-being are at risk and it seems they don’t realize this or just don’t care.
Neighborhood impact??? Too funny. There is only one possible impact these people can leave on a neighborhood. Where the hell has the Planning Board been? But let’s study it and kick the can and kick the can and hope this nightmare just goes away.
Hey Johnny, what do you think the neighborhood impact will be if one of these weddings or funerals sets off a clusterduck of Covid cases that upend the tranquility we are now enjoying? Would the powers that be, be so embarrassed that they would not even tell people about it? Maybe wait till it got out of control and then blame it on the homeless folk?
Ask the Doyle family about the gathering approved by the “City/PITTSfield” Tuesday.
Have one for Gerry!
Have “one?” How about 20? Keeping with the situation an all.
Quart!
Huh??
Quart of distilled spirits, Dan
If you are a supporter of our president, you will want to know that BCC, the Berkshire Eagle, Berkshire Gas and Berkshire Bank are co-sponsoring “ The Madman Theory”, an evening “ discussing “Trump’s chaotic foreign policies” with a CNN reporter and rep from Politico. Pulling my funds out of Berkshire Bank TODAY! Unbelievable. And this after the historic peace agreement just brokered by Trump with Israel & the UAE.
I’m sure Rutberg’s Left Winged Parrot will have a full page on the liberalfest
Not surprised Communist News Network and big nosed Politico (Pinocchio) will be there either.
You guys should go and learn something about stupids foriegn policy that Putin implemented. Istill think Trump was compromised and was a double agent.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9a3eCHij4Vo
Why, did Trump give billions to the terrorist State Iran, like Sotero, Kerry and H-Beast?
WHOOPS!!! should have been “didn’t”
Barry have Iran cold cash and let them have NUKES
Lenny,
Notice they invite people who already think like they do themselves without inviting others who might have a different perspective on the issue. One sided discussion doesn’t help anyone to really understand what has happened and what is happening. Some of the cash that was delivered to Iran found its way back here into the back pockets of politicians and others after being washed.
GOODYEAR tires DON’T MATTER!!!
Goodyear Bans Employees From Wearing ‘All Lives Matter,’ ‘Blue Lives Matter’ or MAGA Slogans, But Says Black Lives Matter is Allowed
By Cassandra Fairbanks
Published August 18, 2020 at 7:26pm
A slide has leaked from a Goodyear diversity training which brands “Blue Lives Matter,” “All Lives Matter” and “MAGA” attire “unacceptable,” while deeming Black Lives Matter and LGBT slogans to be “acceptable.”The leaked slide is of their “zero tolerance” policy towards support for police or conservative values.

If Donald Trump told his followers that wiping their asses was a waste of time because they would have to do it again later anyway there would not be a toilet paper shortage.
If Democrats wiped their asses, their lips wouldn’t be stanky brown!!!
And far left flatulence and drivel be so offensive.
P.S. Johnny, get some Depends for a face mask!
Goodyear has gone way down in quality anyway. Look at a Goodyear tire after a couple years and you can already see cracking between the treads and surface cracking. If your going to spend that amount of money on Tires, get Coopers.
Goodyear stocks have tanked last two days. After this management policy of theirs became known. Americans won’t buy their trash. I’ll NEVER buy from them again.
If Biden wins November, They’ll be soon Chi-Com Owned too!!!
Hunter Biden will be happy, he’ll get another Chi-Com deal Joe brokers, and he can snort up the $$$.
Maybe Hunter could pay his child support to his stripper girlfriend, DEMentias Joe’s grandchild?
BTW, when Hunter knocked up the stripper, he was married to his brothers widow. DemocRAT family values…….
This is ridiculous and the epitome of what’s wrong with our culture now. I will never spend another nickel at the Pittsfield Goodyear
People in Pittsfield Goodyear are not to blame, they are WORKING AMERICANS. I feel sorry for them.
It’s Goodyear mis-management/adminsTRAIORS at fault.
When I think sellout I think Don Trump and how he has dismantled the EPA. Donald Q Trump soldout on his Q Trumpcare he was going to offer that was cheaper and better.I know that democrats space and wear masks and Pittsfield is at Zero cases for 10 days straight.Trump Q sent college kids back in NC and the college sent everone home after 5 Trump virus Days. Notre Dame is also sending everyone home.Don Q Trump has a conspiracy melting his Presidency. Trump is embracing Q so he can lose.Then blame his loss on the crazy conspiracy of Q anon.Q believe Trump is here to save them.
Trump U is Covid free. That big condom that covers the entire campus seems to be working.
Joe Biden is….TO OLD.
Senile
He is certainly older. But the difference between him and Trump is that he will surround himself with smart experienced people and listen to their advice instead of pretending he knows everything about everything.
Wish Trump did that once in a while
Agree. They’ll just have to wake him up once in awhile and guide his hand forsignings.
DEMentia Joe don’t know what year it is, or if he’s still running for Congress or President. It’s fact, document by Joe’s own words. 2020
Harris is left of Socialist Bernie Sanders (senate records), that’s who D-s will be voting for. Old Joe won’t last 4 years.
So…….You want a harlot who slept her way into politics (Married SF mayor Wille Brown’s mistress). Who was a corrupt CA prosecutor, who called Biden a “racist” in D-debates, POTUS? She’ll “have advice” from the D-s who hate America, the same ones featured in the DNC circus this week.
The D-s omitted AMERICAN flags at 2016 DNC convention, they can at least learn to be good fakes 2020.
BUT, they basturdized, The “Pledge of Allegiance “. D-s hate Christians and God, they omitted “one nation under God”.

You hit the nail on the head!!!
Home run!!!
Touchdown!!!
TSC, it was CLINTONS EPA that gave PITTSfield the contaminated SUPERFUND site, for free!
The EPA “cleanup” was brokered by D-s: Doyle, DeVillian, and GE-Welch.
Pittsfield got D-Doyle “Judas money” that was squandered and fed PEDA, run by Tom D-Hickey. Tom did NOTHING except $$$ from PEDA for the WHOLE time he was employed there.
Tom Hickey, let’s hear YOUR side of YOUR accomplishments at PEDA, name ONE? !!!

U.S.—A new study has found that far more Americans would trust Dr Pepper than would trust Dr. Fauci.
While Dr. Fauci has made some questionable claims over the past few months, Dr Pepper hasn’t made any erroneous predictions about the virus or recommendations when it comes to masks and other protective measures. So the soft drink has rocketed up the charts as the most-trusted medical professional in America.
“Dr Pepper has 23 delicious flavors that combine into a cool, refreshing taste that’s just right,” said Texan man Greg Bolar. “Dr. Fauci has none of these things. He can’t even give you diabetes, for crying out loud.”
“Dr Pepper has never let me down.” He then cracked open a cold, thirst-quenching Dr Pepper and chugged it in one gulp. “Ahh — that’s good stuff — and it has none of that nasty deep state aftertaste left by competing brands like Dr. Fauci.”
Americans also prefer Dr. Thunder, Mr. Pibb, and Dr. A+ over the medical advice dispensed by Dr. Fauci, according to the study.
This article was brought to you by Dr Pepper.
These are the companies that are going to keep the homeless in the parks and out in the cold.
The homeless are only good if they are far away.
You know being downtown would make it easier for them to walk to services, maybe find jobs, get groceries, get medical care, meet with Squeaky about her free legal aid service.
The owners of Allegrone Companies, B&G Restaurant Supply, Barrington Stage Company, CT Management, King Kone, Lombardi, Clairmont & Keegan, Ann Moore, the Shipton
Building and Hotel on North signed onto the letter sent by Cook-Dubin. The public hearing was continued to September 2.
Matt Kerwood is sitting on a +$10 million slush fund, which means the lovely Linda Tyer (and her millionaire hubby) overtaxed Pittsfield property owners by +$10 million. Matt Kerwood’s infamous and notorious “creative accounting” raised municipal taxes by over $1.8 million in Pittsfield’s fiscal year 2021 municipal budget. Meanwhile over 60 homeless Pittsfield citizens are without an emergency homeless shelter. What is wrong with this horrible situation? EVERYTHING!!!! Pittsfield politics does not serve the people, especially Mary Jane and Joe Kapanski!!!!
– Jonathan Melle
And Museum is sitting on millions also.
That looks like a partial list of the business s Tyer gave Covid Pittsfield taxpayer money to. Some of them also got GE handouts. She loves playing Santa with taxpayers hard earned money that they could have used to buy food with.
Is it Cook-Dubin? or cook/fix the BOOKS?
You mean Downtown Pittsfield, Yuki Cohen and Cohen Kinne are responsible for depravity against the homeless and the tax payer? Sounds about right. A constellation of shit merchants. Cook-Dubin seems to be on the wrong side of every argument (Beacon BS) and you have to begin to question why anyone supports DPI. If the taxpayers are getting screwed and someone wealthy is getting a handout look for Cook-Dubin. He lost his big Federal Fire Vinegar case – (where they sued little old ladies around the US – so very classy) wonder how much tax payer economic dev money went for that nonsense. Not as smaht as they think they are.
Drugs, booze, guns, 50 bums in the park, who knew there would be a disaster? And it’s your fault because you ain’t “trauma informed”
https://www.iberkshires.com/story/62867/Pittsfield-Parks-Redirect-Springside-Park-Donations.html
And a chicken in every pot and a bum on every corner with a “woe is me sign”. A couple at Park Square are taking turns holding signs, and several bums are making that their day home. My God this city has gone down the shitter!
A couple regular panhandlers, plying their signs/spiels, have emigrated to the entrance to The Center on Rt 7 in Lenox.
Nobody should gives these people a plug nickel. They won’t stay out there 2 days if the do gooders stop catering to them. Don’t give them a penny even. They are just going to smoke or drink or shoot up with the cash and it’s enabling behavior on the do gooders part.
Give them a couple of counterfeit $20 bills and then call the FBI.
What happened to Berkshire Bucks?
The Berkshire Bucks were bouncing .
Parks Commission wants you to give the donations to , Service Net, the GOB endorsed/connected creeps who mis-managed the shelter at St Joes. Be a good chance the donations would end up in Service Nets pockets , or in the dumpster at the City DPW.
Do the right thing and direct the donations through the Salvation Army, they really care about the homeless and hungry.
The City don’t give a damm about the Salvation Army. The connected GOBs are running a pot farm on Dalton ave where The Salvation Army Store used to be. That weed store got fast tracked for approval though political connections at Beacon Hill, and The Salvation Army evicted.
In regards to Berkshire Roots pot store, there is definitely political connections being played by allowing the three story monstrosity of a building currently being built right on Dalton Avenue to grow more pot. Definitely zoning laws have been broken/ignored. Can remember when the City gave Price Rite almost a year long fight for them to just post the sign for the store. Have the zoning laws changed? Now heard from two different folks in the past week that these same political connections have purchased Kens Bowling alley to continue to enlarge their pot farm. How sad as hundreds of residents enjoyed bowling during the long Berkshire winters. Feel sorry for residents of this ward. In just a few years they have endured 600 to 700 Spectrum drug addicts driving, staggering, overdosing in their neighborhood every day. They now have two pots shops, another once being built on Merrill Road, the new monstrosity and now another one in Ken’s Bowling. This neighborhood was a quiet family orientated area, not anymore especially with the constant pot skunk odor. All towns around us the residents were allowed to vote on these pot stores, many won in not letting them build yet Pittsfield taxpayers were ignored as usual. Dan, you speak of the Doyle/Kiley missing money issue, what about the Tyer/Kerwood issues with the money coming in from these pot sales? Kerwood doesn’t know how much money has come in? Why, Great Barrington seems to have figured it out? Where is all this money going or being hidden? Will we ever know or will the question still exist 10 or 20 years from now?
That building is an eyesore, proportions completely askew, appears too close to the road, devoid of any saving aesthetics. Yes, Price Rite wants a sign and it’s a federal case. Those with Connections want to erect a “three-story monstrosity,” no problem. Welcome to Pittsfield!
Dan, look up the pot farms connections to John Melle’s good friend, Lu/Nuciforo.
They had some of those cannabidiots on WAMC yesterday selling the public on the “wellness” benefits of their product for self medication. When was the last time we had people consuming such unproven “medicine?” Opium? Cigarettes for asthmatics? God help us.
WAMC = Chartock Another D-swindler/gasbag/fraud
He is reaping at the D-funded Pig through, while sowing leftist vitriol.
Just wondering if Barry Clairmont is an investor is this venture? Heard he is an investor in one of them, but not sure which one.
Wasn’t he testing/promoting the product on 1st by Cumbys at 3 AM?
You said it, Dan. I cringe every time I drive by it. It is too big and out of place for that small, homey type strip.
Donations should be dropped off at the mayors homel
Used TP with it?
That’s bs! Citizens in Pittsfield are trauma informed when they get their property tax ,water bills, etc.. in the mail.
That’s a good one right there
Thought us City of Pittsfield taxpayers paid for a Robo Call system. Wouldn’t you think they would have utilized it yesterday to let taxpayers know about the dirty water in the Coltsville/Allendale area caused by a water main break. Once again communications at it’s best! Maybe Tyer and Morales can share my dog’s filthy dirty brown water in her water bowl.
Love that dirty water. That’s actually a song.
Yes, it’s about Boston Ma, YOU voted for the Beacon Hill filth!
Agree, M&B. They didn’t hesitate to use it some time ago when a woman went missing in her neighborhood.
Ha!
Rasmussen poll shows support for Trump INCREASED during the DNC convention. Awesome!
Vote Trump
Wow! That doesn’t normally happen when the party having their convention is going on. Sounds like the DNC is in trouble.
H-Beast, Sotero, Kerry, host of RINOs, …….Americans are done with them.
That’s why they all love criminal aliens and mail in ballots so much. The criminal aliens, the dead, and D-s vote TWICE!
Big time trouble, J2S! As Rush said, they spent most of their convention trying to encourage people to vote, a sure sign that they know they’re in trouble.
Obama gave a despicable, anger-filled rant against President Trump. Democrats – the party of hate-filled deranged bigots!
D-infomercial. Supported by MSM
What a terrible group of people at that DNC convention.
A couple of them probably had socks that did not match either so you are right to be so upset with them Pat. Double check to make sure your motion lights are working properly because those guys look like the type to sneak into your yard at night and steal tomatoes right off your plants.
Pelosi endorsed Kennedy over Markey (B Globe). No wonder he was a guest of the local pol’s .Wonder if they knew this was coming? AOC went nuts.
AOC is nuts.
Kennedy or Malarky, which one is bad, which one is worse? It’s like pissing on your leg vs into your shoe? Piss ends up same place, on you.
and I guess you would know all about that eh?
heh heh
AOC IS NUTS!!!
Revised:
Kennedy or Malarky, which one is bad, which one is worse?
It don’t matter both are a curse!
It’s like pissing on your leg vs into your shoe?
Piss ends up same place, right on you!!!
So why is there a question mark after shoe? Wanna try one more time?
So now that the city has allowed a large funeral and a large wedding can they tell me I cannot do the same? I mean how would they explain that they allowed others close to city hall to do it but not me? Wouldn’t that be discrimination?
If there were a bunch of bigwigs at either or both condoning it I don’t see how they could stop anyone else from throwing a bash of their own.
Why don’t they want you to watch what goes on in class? I think we know.
“Officials at all county schools are asking parents to sign forms agreeing not to watch these virtual classes…
The form warns that ‘violation of this agreement may result in RCS removing my child from the virtual meeting.’”

Term limits for Pittsfield!
“They” don’t necessarily need retail pot shops, they only need grow space – they sell the pot out of the cafe’s etc., raw bud sales out of these commercial real estate spaces they own & manage. Raw bud is where the money is. CCC Regulations decrease the profit. Flower grown at the facilities for sale without the packaging or testing – beautiful buds. Stinking delightful bud with your crepes w/ red eye to go ! Zip, zap. The retail pot shops ain’t it, you wont find any violations there. Or connected names on the Corporate Certification. Ask for bud with your macchiato, or your short ribs & you wont be disappointed.
