A Flood Of Interest In Lake Como

I was asked to remove the top part of this post and I am honoring that request. I will keep my own remarks about the sudden attention that is being given to Lake Como: First of all I have no confidence in Paul Calebrese or Maser Engineering anymore.  These are the same people who told […]

The First Four Years

Gave no bid contract to wife’s client, Ashbritt. Gave no bid contract to wife’s client and large campaign donor Ferreira Bros.  Nearly $1 million in wire transfers to Ferreira never appeared on any payment of bills lists (for council review) until the information was OPRAed by a private citizen and then there was a news […]

Their Votes Count As Much As Yours

 

Day 18!

You see even if there are no contributions you still have to file the 29 day reports with the state. […]

Employment Followup

Just to followup and close out on these two stories, the mayor’s broker’s registration through his new employer was approved last Thursday. Below is his FINRA report as of this morning.   . He may not believe me but I do honestly wish the mayor good luck with his new job.  With that said, I […]
