From the editor 08-13-27

So, what was that about, Romano? Huh? GEESH.

I may not agree with Mr. Trapilo’s philosophy on how to run a town, but this budget group was his baby from the start (see page 3). Seems to me it was a petty little power play to take it away from him and even worse to give it back. I truly hope this is an aberration. Because, honestly, that just sucked to watch.

I am happy that Mr. Trapilo is on the group, though. It’s his baby, let his vision shine. If it works, we’ll all be happy. If not, at least we tried.

Now that doesn’t mean I will always think these expected outcomes should always happen, well…as expected. But this is something he campaigned on, and I would dare to say, is a big reason he got elected. 

So….let’s not do that again, okay?

Moving on….

The SB had a looooong meeting, so they definitely did other stuff. But, time got away from me this week. I’ll have to get to that stuff next week. It’ll give me more time to look into this Flock camera stuff. Yeah, Flocks, we’ve got ’em.

PJ Keating is changing things up again, and the neighbors are not exactly thrilled. See page 13 for an idea of what they are planning. 

Our cover story is kind of cool. Fairhaven’s Commission on Disability held an Inclusive Beach Day for people with limited mobility. See page 12 to see the cool stuff that make it possible to get people in the water safely.

The coward in the Senate confirmed the Big Buffoon’s personal attorney as Attorney General. First thing he did? Make it clear the president and his pals don’t have to ever answer any questions, by expanding the Department of Justice’s definition/parameters of executive privilege. This is the same guy who wants to make sure the Big Buffoon, his kids and all their business associates don’t have to pay taxes. They’re all billionaires. 

Is that what you signed up for?

If you’re okay with this you are surely in a cult.

Do we even need to talk about how he used his own staff members and the press as decoys while he slipped away on a separate plane in secret leaving Iran and everyone else thinking he was on the old Air Force 1?

Yeah, he’s a real prince, using human decoys.

There’s other stuff in here, of course. Thumb through to find it all, and while you do that, be sure to notice who our advertisers are so you can tell them you saw their ads in the Neighb News.

Until next week… see ya,

Glory to Ukraine!
Glory to the Heroes!
