Damn you!

Damn you Will Flanagan for making me agree with both Linda Pereira and Mike Herren in the same week!

Flanagan is doing the same things for which he (and I) criticized Bob Correia!

A job for political hack Perry Long "accused of allegations"......ridiculous
Aside from the thieving, Long doesn't even live in a Fall River neighborhood yet got the job of neighborhood outreach coordinator!

Steve Torres's contract...ridiculous
The contract shouldn't be longer than Flanagan's tenure, which will be 2 years. Further, he should NOT be allowed to practice law outside of his contract with Fall River. He should NOT get extra money to attend meetings...wtf?!

We just got sued over strip clubs and Flanagan's response is "bring it on"?!....ridiculous
____________________________________________
Update: I need to add Brad Kilby to the list of people I am mad that I have to agree with.

Despite recent spikes in violent crime, an absent police chief, and nearly 1/3 of our police force laid off, an article in today's the
Herald News says:

He (Flanagan) seemed to reject Kilby’s claim public safety is in crisis.
“Who’s claiming we’re in crisis mode? What’s his statistics to show that?” Flanagan said.
“I’m looking forward to Brad Kilby’s campaign for mayor,” he also quipped.

Really? No crisis? That isn't what Flanagan was saying two months ago when he was trying to get elected. Residents are being robbed and injured by criminals and Flanagan's response makes light of the situation. I suppose it is better than his response to the strip club lawsuit "Bring it on."

It did not take long for the almighty power of the Fall River Mayor throne to overcome Flanagan, "Flanagan said he’d provide the council with financial information and the city administrator to answer questions. “But the council needs to recognize,” he said, “that the mayor is the appointing authority.”

Yes, the mayor is the king of all, and we need to recognize that!

wow shamrock..im impressed it takes a big man to say what you just did.congrats!!

For a whole month I thought I was wrong about Flanagan. I'm not happy that he's now proving every day that I was right all along.

And, yup, I'm really bummed, too, that I have to agree with LP, BK and MH about these issues.

Hopey/Changey guy better straghten up fast or he's out in 2 years or sooner. Worse, we could end up with BK or LP as our next mayor...just when you think things couldn't get any worse!

There's no shame in agreeing with those dopes, you can share the same opinion with someone even if they are a complete dickbag. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I gotta say, even for his first few weeks, he had me fooled but after the shenannigans he pulled this past week, and blatantly too, I've lost all regard for Flanagan, or as Laz might call him, "Hamhocks the Lesser". This is gonna be an interesting 2 years, different players but the same old game after all...

Shenannigans from Flanagan....Flanannigans, maybe? I'm claiming that one right now! Copyright W.J. Bloggah 2010.

DONT HATE LISTEN TO THE HURRICANE..SHAMROCK SHOULD GO ON HIS SHOW..

No one who ran in the last election had any intention of delivering any "change" at all. No one.
The system does not need reformation. It needs revolution.

The Hurricane Show or is it the Ice and Dice Comedy Hour? How many hours of these people are we all going to have to listen to? Okay already, we get it, they help you out with your "police issues." I guess that means it is going to permanently be the Hurricane Show featuring Ice and Dice. Fall River's own version of the "Un" Holy Trinity.

Bring on The Revolution!!! hee, hee!

So you got Flanagan, his lawyer sidekick Torres and another young, inexperienced guy Chapdelaine on one side and Herren and Ice and Dice on the other. All of them playing tug of war and thinking they can run the city. We are doomed! I can't believe that there aren't any better quality people out there that can actually run a city well.

Bring on The Revolution!!! hee, hee!

You're sooo right...we don't need any kind of revolution.
Hope you like paying Coprreia's pension, and Menards and cutting paychecks for all of Flanagan's criminal buddies.
No, you don't need revolution, just some "change" like you're getting from Willy Boy.
No you don't need revolution just MORE slanted coverage from Lisa Strapon and WSAR.

Kilby is following the same path as Cathy Ann, grab as many headlines as you can in hopes of running in two years. Everyone says we need more police, but I haven't heard anyone say how we pay for it.

Will Flanagan said he would cut from the top, including all those pesky high priced lawyers, to pay for police to come back. Unfortunately, the money he "saved" wouldn't pay to bring back even one police officer.

no shortage of police to give out snow tickets

Yes, well I am not sure a traffic "cop" can break up a knife fight, stop a robbery, investigate crime, etc. They are not police officers they serve an administrative function.

My ad salesgirl at The Herald News told me Lisa Strattan is now editor of the Herald News AND the Taunton Gazette...those biased, failing papers can't even afford separate bosses any more

Anonymous said...

On the positive side...there are going to be more stories about SMILES in the Taunton Failzette, just like in the Sterile Snooze and more typos and more bias news and maybe Jimmy Viagara can get on the Taunton mayor's transition team for some conflict of interest

I love the way young will is making his segway for ward cc's. All candidate's for COP are more than qualified. I see this as a win win. Some cc's better start packing....LMAO

Was watching local access tonite. Was not aware that Camara was such a gutteral dolt. Who in their right mind would ever consider him for a formal office? Town council is a pony show with no real teeth.
