Too Quiet?

I was recently asked if I was ever going to begin posting again.
With things going so well in Newburyport under Holiday's direction, why would comments be helpful?
The Daily snooze has things pretty well covered. Not many issues printed that encourage a non colaborative view to be aired. Even the Disques members seem to be under Marshal Control!
There have been many changes in the way things are done (or not done, as the case may be) and the general public does not want to know the results of the new management pratices or the costs of the methods used to make it look like it is working.
Like many before her, the damage will not be known until after it is unreversable.
Maybe soner than expected, there will be an expose' on the ugly truth that the new Newbury's Port shakers and movers will be ashamed to see in print that may show that county hacks are alive and well in Newburyport!

IN SADNESS AND RESPECT

To know the dangers and face them full on are expected of a firefighter. To lose your life in the preformance of your duties is so sad. Our condolences to the families of this fallen firefighter and the community he served so well for so long.

Dan Sweeney and family.

Just DO IT! With no regard to laws or proceedures......

And yet again the uneducated managers of Newburyport charge forward attempting to just get something done. Not knowing the cost of being ignorant. But in there defense, the ignorance of there leader is what causes these infractions.
I say yet again because over the past almost two years the DPS 'Manager' (now director due to his comparable management style to the CEO) Furnari, has been censured by this and other boards for not being fully aware that the Mayor is not the ultimate leader and is NOT all knowing in her management style. There was an instance where the DPW tore into the swales at the industrial park, causing extreme amounts of damage to the environments. Called before the council and Con Com, Mr. Furnari threw his DPW workers under the bus to save his own skin and hid the fact that he alone ordered the hit on the swales (on private property yet) without checking with regulatory boards. Because he is POLITICAL.......not PROFESSIONAL.

I can see all assistance from State and Federal Government coming to a halt, interest rates on loans not qualifying Newburyport and other agencies keeping their distance (due to the political decisions that are being made by un educated and inexperienced) 'managers' yet again) due to these infractions and leadership decisions. Boards and commissions are in place to oversee these actions, not managers, CEOs and elected officials. These are not local laws being tossed about and have little recognition or effect by local politics. Lets just hire the recent publicized rejects from West Newbury, Salisbury and Amesbury and call it a day. There seems to be little thought being placed before 'Action' that requires votes, that require the keeping of a CEO position that has brought us cost after cost in Newburyport.

Taking time to comment on the Daily News site, I find that they also do not want to report on the truth in these matters. Either they are lazy or they also do not want statements of fact to become public knowledge that would help the taxpayers become aware of the issues that could help the public interact with the city and remove unqualified personnel from these positions. After all, if you don't know, how can you decide!
