The issues are too complicated. This was the strategy which I have followed the past 15 years: The city is comprised of city workers who are also taxpayers and have self serving interests and conflicts. They are split into two categories: one that is called a “hack”, defined as someone who will do whatever it takes to keep their job and serve the mayor’s evil empire.  Continue reading Reality Bites On Today’s Somerville →

Question 2 asks voters if they approve of a proposed law that would implement a voting system known as “ranked-choice voting” (RCV) in which voters rank one or more candidates in order of preference. If one candidate receives more than 50 percent of the first-place votes, that candidate would be declared the winner and no other rounds would be necessary.

Why isn’t anybody reporting about the double stabbing that occurred at the playground that’s located near the Saint Benedict’s Parish this past Thursday afternoon?

All the years I have been around I have heard the older people complain about knee pain and hip pain and never thought much of it. Being young you figure its a little pain take two aspirin and it goes away.  I have now reached that stage in life when I now have the knee and hip pain. And now I have that realization that it is not a two aspirin cure. Almost nothing helps. It started with the occasional pain that went away.

The answer to why nothing has been done to expose this worthless low life mayor—- GREED!!
All he had to do was jack up all our homes to artificial prices and sit back and watch the frenzy. Not only did our own locals sell and move away, but worse, the out of town yuppies bought and flipped thousands of condos, forcing our city to become unaffordable! They used the proceeds to by single homes off RT, Lexington, while the pols lied and said they were planning to raise families here. All BS! After that soccer camp fiasco, no yuppies in their right mind would move here
That’s how it began. Continue reading Reality Bite’s Response to William Tauro’s Article: Letter from the Editor:Mayor Joe Curtatone the Beat Goes on, But Ending Real Soon! →

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

Mr. Tauro I was wondering if you knew about the elderly home that’s located on 117 Summer Street that has quietly become an alledged nut house. My mother lives on Preston Road and she stated to me that all kinds of crazies are walking around her neighborhood all of a sudden. Was this another hush hush deal from the Mayor?
