PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY

(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, MONDAY MARCH 18, 2024) — Last week, Boston Herald veteran columnist Peter Lucas wrote a story detailing how Gov. Maura Healey was punishing the Town of Milton (pop. 28,000) for not obeying a state directive to change its zoning to accommodate more “affordable housing.”

You can trace the directive  back to a law passed in 2021 by the the State Legislature and signed by  Gov. Charlie Baker. That itself was the effect of Joe Biden’s disastrous decision, his first as president, to open America’s southern borders, the ones that Donald Trump secured.

Milton put the matter to a referendum, and taxpayers voted against the draconian measure, 5,115 to 4,346. It mattered not to statehouse totalitarians, aka Democrats, to take action.

State Sen. Lydia Edwards, chair of the Senate Housing Committee, said “The state has to crush Milton.”

That’s what it’s doing. First, Healey ordered state funding cut off from the town. Second, State AG Andrea Campbell launched a lawsuit against Milton. So much for local rule. So much for the sanctity of the vote. So much for “democracy.”

———- ooo ———-

At least Milton allowed locals to have a vote, not that it mattered to the Boston stormtroopers. The situation perfectly illustrates why The Vote scares to death the “stormies” in Bay State cities and towns, officials who trash and devalue its citizens. Spineless local officials succumb to state dictates from state dictators.

Yes, Bitchfield, THE PLANET‘s talking about you. Do you think for one second Mayor Markey Maypo and his 11 adoring disciples on the city council would EVER allow a citizen vote on, ahem, “affordable housing.” We clear our throats and put the phrase in quotation marks because for taxpayers, such housing isn’t “affordable.” They will be stuck with the tab.

Never has “affordable housing” been so urgent. That’s the trickle-down effect of Biden’s dissolution of the border dissolution. In Bitchfield, Maypo and the council have been quiet, too quiet, about the current situation of illegals in the city. The anecdotal evidence, however, tells THE PLANET and others we talk to, including store managers and clerks, that the illegals are showing up in greater numbers, demanding their “freebies.”

When they arrive in Bitchfield (and elsewhere) without a valid passport — among them criminals, rapists, thieves, gangs, and murderers — here’s what the Commonwealth gives them, for “free” …

• A loaded EBT card.
• housing
• $64 per day per person meal money
• laptops, tablets
• smart phones
• transportation
• laundry (picked up in the morning, delivered by 5 p.m. same day.

———- ooo ———-

Women often show up with children, and if they’re not pregnant when they arrive here, they will be soon thereafter to give birth to little “Americans” who will not be expected to assimilate and therefore will not.

Of course, this will pose no problem whatsoever for Bitchfield’s failing schools. What problems could these unwashed rug rats possibly cause? They can’t speak English, they usually come from households where neglect and abuse are rampant.

That’s okay with Jumping’ Joe Curtis. It’s a form of job security, the extension of the crutch he’s been using since the nationwide search that led to his hiring. How can THE PLANET, parents, or anyone else expect the superintendent and his administration to be effective when three of every four students is either from an impoverished household and/or illegal and on the take. Joe’s crutch has been extended so long by the school committee he’s practically on stilts.

The situation is so dire that it has no answer or solution, at least not as long as ruinous Woke Politics keep the state and cities like Bitchfield hostage. Besides, if we outlined the proper response, it would puncture their fragile egg-shell egos.

Brace yourself for Bitchfield’s upcoming FY25 budget talks. Spendthrift city officials too feeble and greedy to do the right thing by taxpayers: What could possibly go wrong?
