Another night of violence when shots were fired in Pennsylvania Avenue in Somerville, but never reported until today. Police found fired shell casings. Police would not comment. This is Yet another incident of gun violence in the city in recent days and weeks in the city.
Next week Councilors insist they will cut police officers nd the police budget instead of making sure the police department has enough officers to provide safety to our residents. At least two of these City officials are running for Mayor with a total disregard of the danger of what’s going on in Somerville and in your neighborhood.

I will make sure to address this issue when elected to Mayor.

Somerville Friday Night Shooting Never Reported To Residents

By William Tauro

I wonder why the Somerville Police Department nor the corrupt administration and nor the spineless city Councilors have report of this yet? What’s going on here? Shouldn’t the residents of Somerville be aware what’s going on and decide for themselves if their lives are in danger in which they are? Continue reading Another Night of Gunfire In Somerville →

Our sincere condolences, thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Mary Alice Dober on her passing.

Mary Alice Dober was a wonderful person and a great friend to all of us here at the Somerville/Medford News Weekly.

You would think that Joe Curtatone would’ve double checked and realized that Mary’s husband Peter Miller takes up a full chapter in my book “Stealing Somerville” before he threw her into the race to try to split my votes? You just can’t make this stuff up! Remember in November!

A new development of a recent candidate entering into the Mayors race is identified as candidate for mayor Mary Cassesso. Continue reading Top Official Somerville Mayoral Candidate Mary Cassesso Resigns From Cambridge Health Alliance In Somerville Amongst Alleged Corruption Affiliation →

I had seen where Mystic Ave was to have a bus lane a while back. But since there has been no traffic problems anymore due to covid one would think they would see the wisdom of putting this on the shelf. Well, I guess the powers that be had to come in and fix what was not broken again. Continue reading Somerville, Medford Mystic Ave. Fiasco →

So once again Somerville is removing parking that is desperately needed by small business trying to make a comeback from the losses from covid. This time in Gilman Square, Lovely Valentine is one of them. Lovely Valentine does weddings and such so you know they had it really bad. The thing is they get customers there to interview. So they do need parking for them. Continue reading Somerville, The Small Business Killer →

If I can’t drive to a location in Somerville, I won’t do business in that location with that business.
If I have to shop and then go out in the rain carrying groceries in paper bags that will fall apart when they get wet instead of a plastic bag, I won’t shop there. Continue reading SOMERVILLE GOING WALKABLE ELIMINATING CUSTOMER PARKING SPACES AND DESTROYING LOCAL BUSINESSES →

Dear Billy T and Somerville/Medford News Weekly Speakup Line,

Climate Priorities NOT. An eco system in West Somerville was destroyed in Ward 7 under her watch. Katjana Ballantyne allowed dozens of 100 foot mature trees to be chopped down located at 501 Mystic Valley PKWY in West Somerville THE DAY PRIOR to the tree ordinance that went into effect so that a developer could come in and build a 90 unit condo on an acre property after razing the only dwelling, a single home that currently sits on the property. Thanks to William Tauro for exposing this in his paper! Continue reading Somerville/Medford News Weekly Speakup Line: Ward 7 City Councilor Ballantyne Has No Climate Priorities →
