SIR CHARLES’ ‘PYTHON PETITION’ SQUEEZES THE LIES OUT OF ‘CONFLICT’ AND ‘KAVE-IN’ … GREAT GRANDSTANDING DOES ITS INTENDED JOB
BY DAN VALENTI
PLANT VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY
(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, THE WEEKEND EDITION JAN. 27-9, 2023) — “Do something, then see what happens.”
It was one of Napoleon’s favorite sayings.
Ward 2 councilor Charles Kronick might have used that with his now-(in)famous petition, #18 on this past Tuesday’s agenda, requesting that a sign be posted on the DPW office door, one that reads “No New Salt. No New Spending.”
Hester Prynne had her Scarlett A. Ricky Rumpus would have his equivalent. Of course, Sir Charles’ ultimate jab was in the side of mayor Linda Tyer. Blood and water didn’t not flow out, only venom and bile. As Sir Chaz reminded Her Honor Tuesday, she’s the boss and as such deserves the ultimate boos. Rumpus is just a guy doing what he’s told, flailing over his head in the deep end of the salt-mix.
For those keeping score at home, Agenda item #18 comes with 9:32 left in the 2-hour 39-minute gathering (see PCTV rebroadcast). For THE PLANET, it was like a gracious host serving the demitasse as a palate adjuster following a gourmet meal.
———- ooo ———-
What ensued was political theater at its best. Pittsfield hasn’t seen this type of sophisticated bait-and-trap to catch official hypocrisy since the days of Peter Arlos. Councilors didn’t see it coming, which shows you how little most of them prepare. Patrick “Kave In” Kavey (Ward 5) and Dina “Conflict” Lampiasi (Ward 6) were the council’s two Elmer Fudds who stepped right into Kronick’s trap. It was “Wabbit Season. Huh huh huh huh.”
Lampiasi, by the way, has lost one of her three public posts. The triple-dipper (council, licensing board) no longer works at 7 North St. D.A. Tim Shugrue’s office officially conformed that he did not rehire her. Already, Shugrue has done more for public safety than the disposed Andrea Out The Doria.
THE PLANET knew, the only media outlet to provide readers with advance warning of Sir Charles’ petition, knew “Wabitt Season” was under way after he bagged Kave-In and Conflict with signage buckshot. Both panicked as evidenced by two things:
- They hurled insults at Kronick, pure ad hominem.
- When that didn’t work, they desperately brought up their tears of Global Climate Change.
Set, game, and match, Kronick.
Afterward, Conflict and Kronick discussed world affairs. She asked him what he thought of her. He answered with admirable irony words to the effect of “You’re a brat.” She then acted as many leftist loons do. She told him to perform an anatomical impossibility on himself (translation: “Go fuck yourself”). Kronick, as cool as James Bond, replied, “I may just do that.” Conflict then flipped him The Bird, and THE PLANET‘s not referring to The Berkshire Eagle, which was there to witness the exchange.
———- ooo ———-
Kronick’s critics later accused him of grandstanding.
They are spot on.
OF COURSE HE WAS GRANDSTANDING.
That was the precise point of the charade.
Being the humorless souls that they are, Conflict, Kave-in, and others (not Ken Warren, by the way, who by his suppressed chuckles gave a vote of assent to #18), they took the petition literally. That’s what apparatchik’s do. Actually, the Sign petition was straight out of Monty Python for satire, the laughing-to-keep-from-crying that becomes the refuge of good people when they find themselves in a world of idiots.
The satiric joke: Stop the out-of-control- spending. Make needed budget cuts. Give taxpayers a break.
———- ooo ———-

ROFL!!!!
witty and funny!!!
Clean Sweep of all of them!
Sarcasm: Big Surprise! Another insult against Andrea Harrington & more praise for the Ambulance Chaser greedy Divorce Attorney Tim Shugrue. Other than that, I agree that Pittsfield politics is a bad comedy of errors. I want Dan Valenti to write about Wayfair closing in Pittsfield plus all of the other failed businesses in Pittsfield over the years, please.
How is Skeeky going to pay taxes in Ritchmond now?
Send Squeaky a check so she can pay her taxes
Yes, I agree that America is dying, but it’s not a peaceful death. So many forces are conspiring to bring us down to what they want us to believe will be blissful one world government consisting of people who will not even be elected by the people, but are appointed by the higher ups in global government. People like John Kerry, Klaus Schwab and even our own FBI Director Chris Wray who attended the big DAVOS globalist meeting recently. These globalists are bringing America to its knees intentionally for their own globalist ambitions.
“America is dying.”
That is exactly what the parties want you to believe. What you witness as decay and defeat is the death of tyrants. They are projecting their misery onto you.
Who are the tyrants who are dying? If they are dying, all I see are new tyrants taking their place and One World Government will guarantee an ultimate tyrant.
I agree. Tyrants may die (Saddam, Khadaffi, Mao, and down the long list) but tyranny doesn’t.
“The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants, and it provides the further advantage of giving the servants of tyranny a good conscience. It would be easy, however, to destroy that good conscience by shouting to them: if you want the happiness of the people, let them speak out and tell what kind of happiness they want and what kind they don’t want! But, in truth, the very ones who make use of such alibies know they are lies; they leave to their intellectuals on duty the chore of believing in them and of proving that religion, patriotism, and justice need for their survival the sacrifice of freedom.” – Albert Camus
O happy days of camus. Those were the days I long for. Please don’t talk of them now.
I could easily smoke a pack of them a day. That was before I joined the proud ranks of AP-MRF. The nascent AP-MRF. The Anti Post-Modern Revolutionary Front formed by a disillusioned general from FARC.
I just stubbed it out, the camus. I was in a gallery upon which walls hung empty boxes, arms protruding out from the wall grabbing at empty air, a tape recorder on a pedastal telling me that “You’re Wonderful! You’re wonderful! You’re Wonderful!” I’m studying a particular object, not really knowing what I was thinking. There was a certain inquisitive boredom settling over me in with a hunger for a hotdog on a bun. A hot damp odor of raw body parts crept through the hall. I was stuck at this mass of orgasing metal and paint and bacon hanging from guy-wires. I took to reading the little white card stuck to the wall next to it looking for meaning, and when I again stepped back.
“It’s just shit, isn’t?”
A set of dark eyes secured under dak eyebrows and black hair swept back was studying me furiously.
“Yes! It’s shit!” I say. “Thats it exactly. What hooligan does this thing?”
“He should be tossed in gaol.”
“Yeeah.”
The eyes and hair had a name, Nicholas. The fury relaxed to exasperation with eyebrows arching over wet eyes. I sensed a relief in him that he had secured a comrade in mind. He held a martial posture, one accustomed to bearing a sword and pistol, but he was also dapper in the Italian fashions. The conversation quickly moved from these New Yorker artists to Massaccio and then to the question of the day.
“What is to be done?”
Indeed, what is to be done? Why I was
Nick was the founding member of AP-MRF. He had traded his brushes for brass, and he plucked me from the nexus of capitulation and revolt to the po-mo entity that was seizing the walls of culture and academia. What happened in the days and months since is a separate tale. It is logged elsewhere. Despite my innocence to the danger at hand, I was well armed in the knowledge of past battles. The discovery of one point perspective. The ability to draw an airplane in any position from imagination with just a bird’s eye view and an elevation. The capacity to unleash the divine presence of G-d and Christ in the flow of human blood and grief! But what was missing was quickly filled in by Nick.
The days of smoking camus quickly ceased. I donned heavy boots, learnt to rise at any hour of the night armed with any manner of powder or destructive device and became a student afresh in the art of war and dismantling the manifestations of po-mo everywhere. I became a partisan, and when the war is finished, yes, CIH, there shall be epic paintings to depict our victory. And maybe even the smoking of camus shall resume!
But I fear it is not mine to enjoy. My friends, Mr. Planet, all here reading this dispatch. You shall understand, I cannot divulge my location. I am in a most critical situation. The lights are growing dim. I know a life of skirmish has led me to this sorry state. I blame an errant round. a fetid viper launched a Holtzer at my recon platoon. It landed past the scout. LED’s sprayed. The mid group succumbed instantly to an electro-magnetic wave. We lost Hermes, the med, the gunner. All others are missing. I am alone with grievous wound to leg. Arterial. My final dispatch may the struggle live on. Yours. Truly. levitan.

Looks like poisoned sumac to me.
While I haven’t completely ruled out the Devil’s curse, Ergot poisoning, to your credit, your comment resonates with me.
Your Truly, THE CITY I HATE
Who are the tyrants who are currently dying?
Are you perishing? Clinging on, so to speak.
I’m not.
The history of man is dotted by brief periods of tyranny. They don’t tend to last long.
I believe our way of life is perishing. Not me personally, not yet anyway. The signs are all around us of how our most cherished institutions are under attack. Our schools are not about learning, but indoctrination. Our law enforcement is under attack by people who want to bring violence to our country, Our legal system is being destroyed so there isn’t equal justice under the law. Our work ethic is being destroyed because big government is encouraging people to not work to make them dependent. The list goes on and on. I think this current rot in our country will bring very long lasting negative changes to our country and could destroy it permanently.
“think this current rot in our country will bring very long lasting negative changes to our country and could destroy it permanently.”
I doubt that very much. Man and our attendant situations are unexpectedly mortal.
There are not many tyrants left to count from far and recent past.
Actually, when it comes to governmental organization, tyranny has been the norm throughout history. It comes in several forms — authoritarianism, totalitarianism, dictatorship, Strong Man rule. Democracy, republicanism, and that type of “allowance” system has been relatively recent — 19th century onward for the most part. Top down is by far the most common type of rule, historically. Also, with each liberal type government, you invariably see a trend toward centralization. Just look at how the presidency has evolved, especially since Roosevelt and onward.
“Actually, when it comes to governmental organization, tyranny has been the norm throughout history”
That is correct. I am reviewing a lecture on De Tocqueville. Short form argument is that the rise of Individualism – every man for himself and government takes care of the masses – reopens the door for tyranny. I’ll post the link on my FB page. My point, is that tyrannies fail as a rule. They are inherently incompatible with the emotional and creative needs of man. The fact that this is even debated here is some form of proof in my mind that the struggle of the day is for the social dictators trying to stay afloat.
They are not having an easy time of it if you look at the numbers. A new generation is coming, and many in it know what they are about.
Unfortunately millions usually die before a tyrant is defeated. It would be better to avoid a tyrant in the first place and one world government guarantees a tyrant coming to power since he or she would not be elected by the people.
I disagree that the upcoming generations know what they are about. If they did, we wouldn’t be in the mess we are now. The schools wouldn’t be convincing young people to have their body parts removed because they are trapped in the wrong gender or silencing voices because they don’t agree with your opinion. Young people wouldn’t be getting their beliefs from communist run Tik-Tok and we would have respect for life for the youngest to the oldest among us.
These are not good times. I’m not looking through rosy lenses.
Who’s really behind it. What group? Could it be a religion?
Good question.
This is the administration from hell.
Dan,
Ha! Clown Shoes Shagrue( and i want credit for his new name ok..) Please they lost the very first case they had and the scum bag represented himself. We still have all these dirty drug dealers running the streets sorry that ain’t gonna change with clown shoes at the helm Pittsfield is doomed! doomed i say
Andy, really?
The six-seven votes are giving Tyer carte Blanche, the lazy,the dumb way. Discussion that’s not even close to tangible for her projects and numb votes with no debate ate all. Imagine if the dumb majority wasn’t the majority? They probably would have more absenteisms that a Covid day. I’m thinking Alex Blumin for a try at large.
That’s because Andrea left him ashes. He’ll get it right.
Seriously John???? Harrington was a disgrace to the office. Shugrue will put more bad guys away in 1 year than Hardly Harrington did in 4.
Let’s pray for the new D A he has a big mess he inherited.
He’s up to the task. He’s building a great team.
Partial from eagle article on SnowPlowgate.
Alameda said a witness who saw the accident came over to check on him. The witness drove Alameda to the hospital where doctors told him they didn’t see signs of broken bones.
More than a week later, Alameda said he’s still in a lot of pain and very bruised from the accident. His Mazda is totaled and he said he’s waiting on his insurance to get back to him with next steps. Alameda said no one from the city has reached out to him.
It was unacceptable and we are sorry. That damage at East Side Cafe was also unfortunate. We’re sorry about that too. Going forward we will redouble our efforts to deliver outcomes for the people of Pittsfield.
The owner of the East Side says the city has spoken to him and is going to make things right. The guy hit by the city plow says no one from the city reached out to him. I wonder what the difference is here. Hmmmm
Good point, FIZZ. The guy hit by the city plow might have to make some noise to get their attention.
The city is not going to reach out to a personal injury claimant. There’s a huge difference between the cost of repairing some windows and a million dollar lawsuit against the city.
You are probably right. I guess showing a little remorse is frowned upon as it is an indicator of wrong doing. But if I am the claimant and the person injuring me acts like they could give a shit less then I am going to tell my lawyer to bump up the settlement.
Yes, but is there any truth to the rumors that Russians military surveillance aircrafts captured several images of 8 city own MONSTER SNOWFIGHTERS filled with way too many overpaid underworked supervisors supervising a covert mission consisting of more than 40 $100 an hour-PLUS snow removal contractors to switch the location of the damning STOP SIGN located out in front of the Crossroads, that offending STOP SIGN a city employee barreled through, to the corner of Linden Street, thus proving that the driver of the crashed vehicle was 100% in the wrong? I think any good lawyer would tell his client not to talk to anyone representing the best corrupted interest of the city of Pittsfield.
It may be that America is dying, but we are not alone in that. I don’t know of any societies in the world that can be considered an exception to societal downfall. But how can we fix it? My take is that the disappearance of truth and ethics as the coin of the realm is what is causing the death of civilized society. Truth and ethics is the bedrock of civilized humankind. If people can’t rely on the word of their fellow citizens, then there is no reliable basis for the exchange of ideas and goods.
“But how can we fix it?”
Run for local office and make your votes match your principles.If your principles are not on the ballot, put them there yourself.
It’s open season on City Council and the Mayor. People want honest candidates.
“If people can’t rely on the word of their fellow citizens”
That might be the culmination of our civilization. We don’t share a common truth in Common Sense. This is a failure of our academies.
America really isn’t that old compared to many other countries in the world. We are still a youngster.
Actually, we are probably one of the oldest currently standing. Look at a 1776 map. (Referring to constitutions primarily.)
By the constitutional measure, yes, but that’s arbitrary. China, India, and the Pacific Rim: That was the past. That will be the future.

Was this all part of your acid trip culture days?

No harm.” Allen Ginsberg /1966

I’m curious to know who got cut, who resigned and who remains from AH’s domain now in Mr. Shugrue’s office. Anyone know?
Bye, bye Andy and drowsy Dina
Gaetani news hour 9 pm”…. on PcTv tonight 1301.
When was the last time you heard a city councilor say “no new spending?”
Sir Charles is truly representing the taxpayers. He comes prepared to council meetings. He actually reads petitions before the council meetings. He writes petitions. He asks questions.
Ask the same of the majority of the other councilors. Most sit on the dais like bumps on a log.
Thank you Sir Charles!
Charles does talk,but no one listens to him.
Not true Gman.
You’re just jealous.
The G man loves Cool Hand.
I think other councilors do listen but as most of what he has to say does not align with their personal agendas, they disparage him. Several of those “in name only” councilors managed to get themselves elected for all the wrong reasons. They are there to feather their own nests and not to, in any way, represent the fools who they tricked into voting for them. They are easy to spot on the panel as they are the ones with low self esteem who must enlarge themselves by attaching themselves to power. Even if that power runs against moral norms.
Kinda sad for them huh?
Perhaps you missed it, and lucky for the baby seal that you did, but a baby seal came onto land in Maine and safely roamed about the town. Luckily baby seal rescuers recured him before you got a chance to club him to death for your dinner. But judging by your right headed comment about Pittsfield’s allegedly elected greedy inglorious scoundrels, you know that there is a legitimate use for that club of yours.
THIS!
I agree with you 1oo% if we could round up 6000 kapanskis who would vote In city elections we could take back our city fr the gobsigs. Call all your friends relatives anD prepare them for the november elections. It might be the most important thing you do all year. Down with buffets buffoons and goons. Count me in
Pittsfield’s biggest problem is that the special interests are the ones that encourage and back many people running for office. And they promote and finance the campaigns of people they know will be puppets and vote as they are told. It is unusual that a common man, (like Charles for instance) can overcome the money and influence these special interests can back their candidate with. Most citizens know this and do not want to get into the nastiness that may come their way from entering the sty.
You can tell who the special interest councilors are because they always back whatever the mayor wants. No matter how expensive or ridiculous it may be on its face, they are there for her.That is NOT their job. They are SUPPOSED to represent the best interests of the people who elected them.
It is easy to say “vote them out”. But using the case of a mayoral race involving Marchetti and Krol, your choice is two special interest candidates so you lose either way. And this is often the case in councilor races. You would need to be able to elect at least six councilors who would take their job serious in order to win any vote on the agenda. Not going to happen in Pittsfield but I appreciate those who do honor their oath of office.
Get out if you can.
So a flag flying from a tree stating “Please if I die don’t let me vote Democrat” ha,ha It did get me thinking though, people on this board should all run for office so they can get the list of “registered” voters. Check the Obits and cemetaries then ask for mail in votes. Bingo you could control the election towards people who will cut taxes, close some needless schools and make the city more efficient. Badda Bing Badda boom!! Seriously my vote will be for whomever states they will close at least one school put a hiring freeze in place weed out some needless positions and tell the taxpayers they will send the rest of the ARPA money to pay for the monstrosity off of Holmes Road! Right now looks like I may have to sit this one out
Can the ARPA money be spent on the water plant/. if so That would be an amazing use of it and actually save us millions!!
Yes it can but what the consultant want is a waste
You would just be giving it to the con$ultant$.
so instead it will go to the mayors consultants
10’s of millions
Already being done
what item is already being done??? I have not seen any report telling the good taxpaying citizens that the city has their interest at heart. Please give us an example and where the people on the planet can look it up
Shooting at Zen’s pub last night being swept under the rug?
Seems anything at all that reflects poorly on the mayor is being scrubbed by most media. Facebook exposes a lot of stuff but most often disappears quickly. What are they so paranoid about? wow
Funny, that.
Dec 21, front page below the fold, Clarence Fanto in the BE outlines exactly what to expect from the Xmas storm, rain and ice, and this is reiterated in the highlighted gray box on page A5.
It is not disingenuous for CC, the mayor, and DPW to say they did not have up-to-date weather info, were caught unawares or anything else, and when they do, it is an outright lie.
Also below the fold in the same front page is the article about how much is left of the arpa cash; following that to page A5,towards the bottom of the last column we get, in the third to last paragraph,the information that rougher and Armstrong are being paid $53.75 an hour.
Nice work, IF you can get it.
Spoiler alert: this is Pittsfield; you can’t get it—or maybe you can, but I can’t quite remember if it’s
who you know, or who you blow.
What I do know is this continued blowing off of the Kapanskis is going to lead to radical change come November.
And all the report was thorough by the DPW commissioner ones in that kind of sticks out he states, That an alert should have been put out, why didn’t any of the city council ask why that alert wasn’t put out? That comment alone was game set and match.
Seven years in office and that Hess eyesore still stands? Wasn’t the mayors priority for running her first time around Blight? Didn’t she even have a photo op going through blighted neighborhoods during her campaign pledge on blight? Yes. Can someone archive that photo about seven years ago? It was in the Eagle rag.
Tyer is Blight
She is the worst mayor in past 40 years, even though she gave the cops mega millions more cash. Taxes are through the roof, and free home improvements for the chosen few, a bum on every corner, and a shootin’ every week.
I have an idea. Why don’t we put together a slate of 7 city residents who love pittsfield and run them all as write in candidates.As a group they will receive plenty of news coverage and they could develop a wining platform for the nov.city election. Each candidate will run against a entrenched gobsig who will be identified by the group as a whole. This is a wining strategy and will finally break the backs of the gobsig sheep.please study my idea and let me know what you think. Pittsfield is our city and it is the gobsigs who have ruined it. We will become the new steel gate which will be impenetrable by gobsigs.if we are divided we will fail. Together we will be as strong as stainless steel. Ready? Charge
I think you are an idiot. Why wouldn’t you put them on the ballot?
Wow you are very rude
Offer him an egg. He’ll simmer down.
But what to do with the egg. That’s the question. Over light? Sunnyside? scrambled? Three-minute? Or is the egg to be sucked?
True. Hard to decide. Let him share Dina’s.
He and others might be concerned you’ll get lost again in city hall on election night. Only to find yourself in of all places, where they count the ballots. How is that area not passcode or ID restricted? Silly you Dirty Barry.
Cumby’s on First Street has become a sh!those since you quit patrolling.
Dr. Shirl-PhD-da racial hustle, has done nothing, even though she got a cool million dollars ($1,000,000) of our tax money.
Did Cumby’s not grease your palm enough Dirty Barry? Tell us. We’ll start a go-fund me to get you back out there.
Pittsfield politics Mayors over the past 40 years: Charlie “No downtown Mall” Smith, “Queen” Anne Everest Wojtkowski, Ed “Placeholder” Reilly, Gerry “Barstool” Doyle, Sara “Aberration” Hathaway, Jimmy “Rolodex” Ruberto, Dan “Montello” Bianchi, & Linda “Taxer” Tyer. Next year (2024), will it be “the lovely” Linda Tyer’s third term or “the plainer than vanilla” Peter Marchetti or “the dashing and dapper ladies’ man” John Krol?
“Already, Shugrue has done more for public safety than the disposed Andrea Out The Doria.” He is 0-2 in Superior Court trials and just dropped 13 counts of animal abuse. What am I missing?
BIKE
What are you missing? Answer: Addition by Subtraction. When Shugrue kicked Lampiasi to the curb, the office immediately got stronger.
If you remember shortly after Shugrue took office, there was an article in the Eagle talking about the lack of help and disorganization of DA Wrong Way’s office towards him.
In fact, Shugrue was even quoted as saying, “all she cared about was who I was keeping and who I was letting go.”
Translation: she never cared about justice only that Andy and Dina Torkilson-Simpson-Williams-Horton-Mendez-Washington-Arnson-Tucker-Lampiasi kept their jobs.
And as the great Ray Charles once sung about, “Hit the road Jack!” Bye Andy. Bye Dina. Hello justice.

Thanks for sharing. I hadn’t heard this Roy Clark gem!
Biter clinger? Find a job.
Bang!Bang!Bang! That should be the Zenner slogan. How many times has this happened at this hopping bar on Tyler St? It’s rep has not been very good for as long as I can remember. When is the licensing board going to crack down on them??? Who owns it?
But that whole neighborhood has been revitalized so this was probably a one time thing,……..except for all the other times it happened. They got new sidewalks over there so not sure why anyone would have to shoot anyone in the hand like it says on facebook.
Nobodys scrubbin nuttin…some kid walked down the street with a toy gun and now its the OK Corral? no sir…stop tripin out please
However did the City Buildings Painter, I mean “Highway Supervisor” Vinny Barbarotta stay out of this Xmas Snow debacle? Is he not the “Road Boss”? I mean he was CC’ed on Ricky Ricardos dance card of excuses. This man is wholly unqualified and apparently just knows the right people, sucking up the Taxpayers money like he does, the suds served at poor Wahconah Park and his penchant for white lines, (and not the ones on his Highways). This is only one “true example” of the type of people overseeing our fair city. it is no wonder to this truth-teller, why we are merely passengers on a sinking ship. There isn’t a lick of integrity, running this burg, save a few! I use this particular man as example, because we as voters have a right to not let this happen. If we first started by getting out to the polls,17% turnout isn’t going to get anything done, we keep allowing the same morally bankrupt individuals to make all of our decisions and hire this type of unqualified Dept. Heads to hire through Nepotism to run their show, just because they know somebody. This has been Pittsfield’s benchmark for decades. It is time to wash out this administration and start fresh this coming November! So please lets us find the right, just and qualified citizen to begin to turn us around and start a trend of respecting the Kapanskis and not just steamroll them again, with the wrong sort. Please think about running for a seat and for Gods sake ‘GET OUT AND VOTE. Use it or lose it!
Is this Vinny the same double dipping head coach Vinny who was allegedly involved in a scandal that involved underaged high school boys being transported across the state line on a road trip, provided alcohol to these minors and getting underaged kids liquored up? Didn’t some blogger call this unprosecuted crime TAILGATE-GATE? Is that how Vinny earned the name “Road Boss”? Did any of the kids ever grow up and get jobs with the city of Pittsfield, maybe driving BIG PLOW TRUCKS right through STOP SIGNS? How about doing White Lines resulting in satisfactory SCOHOL projects. Are any of these scholars collecting pay checks from the city of Pittsfield to do white lines?
Also are the Pittsfield Kops any closer to solving the brazen Oct. 3, 2022 daylight after-SCOHOL shooting on Springside Avenue in heavily populated residential neighborhood while SCOHOL children were walking home? Several homes were struck by bullets. And in the same residential neighborhood, full of kids, a house on Alden Avenue appears to have been set up to be a manufacturing plant for crystal METH. Is this part the successful economic growth mayor Liar tyer promised taxpayers of Pittsfield would see if she was elected?
“Please think about running for a seat and for Gods sake ‘GET OUT AND VOTE. Use it or lose it!”
Excellent. You (readers) can do this.

He’s talking sense. I would send one more thin dime to Ukraine, as corrupt a place as you can get. And how does Zelensky amass a fortune while in office. Is he that disciplined with his Christman Club savings account?
In Eastern Europe, the question is never “is the coup a bad thing” or “is it bad the president is a crook?
It’s, “Is it a good coup or a bad one?” Is Z a good crook, or a bad one?
Read an article that said there were 8 city plows and 32 contractor plows out for the Snowplowgate storm of the century. Seriously? 40 plows out there and hardly anyone saw them?
Somebody working at or for city hall things we are as dumb as they come. Are we really paying for 32 contractors for that storm? Something is fishy as hell somewhere.
They were special, brand new, high-tech plows. They were equipped with The Cloaking Device from “Star Trek.”
I hope we have trustworthy people in the DPW and administration. I mean hell,thousand pounds of methyl chloride whatever it’s called, and you supposedly spread it around the city when it probably didn’t need it so it looks like the roads are gonna be good from doing that. Well, if you didn’t do that just store it,you could make a fortune just keep ordering it,get the money under the table because you already got the stuff. I remember many years ago, I forget who the mayor was, it was an accounting of the meter money tens of thousands missing. Couple others that were unacceptable,the recent million in giveaway? The Stanley tif where he purchased new seating from his own company? The money given to the owner of the north st. Bar while escaping the license board and her subsequent violations.
Magnesium chloride. And you call yourself a scientist?
“The removal teams clocked in an estimated 700 hours of contact time and 600 hours of highway crews’ time during and following the storm.” iberkshires.com / Pittsfield Snow Removal Methods Questioned After Storm – December 29. 2022
“City officials are blaming days of icy roads on lack of storage capacity for salt. Highway Superintendent Kevil Swail, Commissioner of Public Works Bruce Collingwood, and Mayor Daniel Bianchi fielded two hours of questions from the city council on Tuesday on why the city’s roads were slicker than all the neighboring towns during the last big snowstorm.” “Councilor at large Barry Clairmont said the Police Department told him that over the course of the storm, there were 63 accidents. That is three times as many as the previous storm,”
“City councilors said having more salt on hand to start the winter could help alleviate that concern.”
“The city hires some 30 contractors to plow the roads at about $70 an hour. For about $30 more an hour, those contractors could sand as well,”
“Councilors Barry Clairmont and Kevin Morandi both say the snow-covered roads caused a public safety hazard,”
