No---it is Fall River-tastic!!!!! We're "calling a spade a spade," ---tastic! Please, Herald News, keep up the good work!!!!! Otherwise, the City will continue to go down the toilet. And, it can't get much worse. It's only up from here.
We're on the verge of a renaissance, HN: please continue to be a part of it. The truth will set us all free.
PS.....Make no mistake----the renaissance is being led by blogggers and commenters to blogs and HN articles. But they are your friend, HN....
Dear Herald News: The bloggers and commenters are actually augmenting your personnel roster expenses, free of salary and fringe benefits costs. Run with it.
Anyone know about this oomment on the HN:
mcgovernownsshovest47 minutes ago
Report AbuseMayor::::::::first the Monument disgrace! now another favor for Mcgoverns.
a NO PARKING FROM HERE TO CORNER. sign just added on a public road ,to stop people parking close to Mcgoverns home ,,,,driveway. is a driveway now considered a corner?? Is this Mcgovern st.
Enough with the favors...
How about this one,by hloureiro:
C is for Cronyism. As in Joane Mateus, appointed to a nice cushy job in BCTC on the 5th floor of Gov. center, after being laid off from her job. Amazing to see what hefty political contributions will buy in this city. Take a look at www.efs.state.ma.us
2007 Year End Political Contributions Report----Correia, Robert
Mateus, Richard, Nelson & Joane=$1250. Nevermind 2008 contributions, inaugeral balls and fundraisers.
I'm sure due diligence was done in identifying the most qualified individual for this position. If you believe that, let's meet for a drink on 'Restaurant Row,' and we can chat about how the Boss has improved education, cleaned up the city, and made it a safer place with an improved quality of life for all.
Best Herald News Edition EVER!
Richard Mateus is the CFO of Prima Care in Fall River. He got all the doctors in this practice and their families to donate maximum contributions to Correia's Campaign. No wonder his wife got a job. What are her qualifications and was the job posted? It is time for a change while we still have a chance.
Great edition, HN. My favorite article is your list of Mayor Do-Nothing's approximately 47 promises--some of them multi-faceted. From what I can tell, he has sorta kept the one about low-interest loans for businesses. At least that will help them offset the extra money he's sucking out of them via the runoff fee.
Bob, do you know what a promise is??? All you ever speak about now is your "hope." As in, I "hope" the state gives us money. I "hope" things get better. I "hope" my combover doesn't blow away in the wind and people see that I am a phony all around.
And how about the comment he made in response to the increasing jobless rate a few months ago? Tough talkin' Bob, who was gonna use his immense power to bring mega jobs to FR had the audacity to say, "All I can do is create a climate" to attract jobs. Note to Bob: there may be a tooth fairy, there may even be a combover fairy, but there is NO JOB FAIRY! You actually have to take action to bring companies here
What happened to the rough ridin', gun totin' Deputy Dawg that promised to gallop into Dodge and show us all what a real cowboy can do? Hey, Big Bad Bob, do you even remember "leadership that gets things done"? Silly me. I thought you meant "leadership that gets things done" for EVERYBODY in FR, not just for your lackeys and friends.
Wake up, Cowboy, the election is coming. And guess what? We CAN “quit you.”
Shamrock,
Any idea what that commentor is talking about the two parking spaces in fronot of mcgoverns house now?
First Miller monument Disgrace!! Now a No parking from here to corner sign in front of Mcgoverns home,( public street). How many favours is the mayor going to do for Mcgoverns. I cant stop people from Cristines dance school from parking in front of my house. (R.I. drivers). Wanted to rent out 2 parking spaces in front of my house. Mayor stated cant be done public st. Oyea does that apply to Mcgovern home.?????????? My tax dollars went to the that monument disgrace, Veterans are not important i guess. I saw all the work that went into that monument placement, 4 limos town workers doing sidewalk to it now well pay for the cleanup and the new placement on Mcgovern St.(Shove st)
I got the impression from that comment that the person commenting was trying to rent out city street parking spaces. If that is the case, I got a good laugh.
I will check out the signs this week though.
sounds like they need a few parking meters in front of the business near his house.
Just wondering if pat casey tried to do something else with the miller debacle since they now have until the spring, like giving mcgoverns parking spaces- you never know.
I will take a look when I drive by there too .
Call the council office and ask for the records showing when it was voted on. If they don't have it, check the ordinances to see if it is set in ordinance. You can also call the traffic department and ask if it is offically set as no parking. This should be easy to verify when and how it was approved.

Isn't the clerk supposed to publish city council meeting minutes or agendas ?????
Yes, they are on display in the basement at Government Center in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet, stuck in a disused lavatory, with a sign on the door saying "Beware of Leopard"
Or you could just go to the city clerk's office, or the second floor of the library where they seem to be hanging.
But online, certainly no.
It would also have to be voted on by the traffic commission if signage was put in place and then approved by the Council.
Yes, some good articles in the Herald, but I am still extremely worried. In my travels I am still meeting a good deal of people who are resigned to the fact that Bob will have no problem getting re-elected.
I guess Alexis de Toqueville said it best:
"The people get the government they deserve."

Richard Mateus is the CEO of PrimaCare, and according to
the state's (www.efs.state.ma.us) website, he lives in Somerset. I confirmed your assertion that many of the doctors contributed from this practice to the Correia campaign (2007), as well as others:
Richard Mateus, Somerset, MA; Prima Care CEO; $500.00
Almeida, Shirley, Fall River, MA;
PrimaCare Secretary; $500.00
Almeida, Americo,MD, Fall River, MA; PrimaCare Physician; $500.00
Interesting to note that the other MDs do not live in the city....
Courey, Robert, MD; PrimaCare; Cataumet,MA $500.00
McMahon, Eugene,MD; PrimaCare;
Barrington, RI
Mouded, Majed,MD; PrimaCare;
Somerset, MA
Schnure, Fredrick,MD; Primacare;
Mattapoisett,MA
Stubbert,James,MD; PrimaCare;
Westport,MA
Sutherland, Donald,MD PrimaCare;
Rehoboth,MA
Joana and Nelson Mateus ($750.) husband and wife? live in the city.

You are missing one:
Andrea Simister, Richard Mateus and Assad as chairman joined holdovers Augustinho Oliveira and Alves.
Another name on there should look familiar, but I can't do everything for you people...
Reality Check-
LOL!!
Reality Check, watch out you may be recruited as the new city press secretary!!! Glad to see you included invented the computer!
Pat Casey is claiming Cathy Anne called her on her cell phone and said you vote for kozak and you will continue my vote.
So Herald News where are the public record cell phone records for the city council??? Not that would prove what was said.
It might prove that Cathie called Pat or Pat called Cathie but it wouldn't prove what was said. I don't expect that either of them tape record their conversations.
Hague just shot down Casey's credibility that he approached
her at the Mayor's Christmas party
@ the Venus, since he wasn't even there.
I attempted to listen to the interview between Hague and Hurricane. I had to turn it off. Every time Hague was answering the question you could tell the Hurricane was frustrated in that Hague was handling the question well.
The Hurricane made all kind of grunting and breathing noises in the background. I said to myself - that is it, time for 90.90 NPR.
I just couldn't sleep. I'm so glad I turned on my computer. There's enough fodder here for all!!
Actually, Tom Paine, that's what Herren souns like all time. Gross, huh?
The Herald will be backing off Correia real soon..oh, a negative piece every so often, but nothing like what we've seen...the fix is in
