Does It Make Any Difference?

Not that it really matters-but…

Whatever happened to Councilor Boisvert’s request for new, padded chairs for the Council? That was one hell of a “maiden speech” topic-“Hey, me arse is achin’!”.

As you drive around Fitchburg you can’t help noticing most companies employing 10 or more provide ample parking for employees, guests and visitors…how come FSC is viewed differently?

Supt. Of Schools Ravanelle must have post-graduate training in the frequent use and application of jingoistic platitudes. This fellow uses more trite, tired, overused expressions (“We have to think outside the box;” “We really have to jump start;” “Let’s get ahead of the curve;” “this is an evolving, new paradigm”) more often than Mitt Romney.

I don’t know about you but my summer vacation planning is put on hold until events at Fitchburg International Airport are announced. I’d hate to be out of town and miss Locopaloozabazooka IV.

When I say, “God, help us” while viewing a meeting of the City Council is that a violation of the principle of separation of Church and State?

Am I alone in thinking that when I hear Police Chief Cronin speak of “working closely with the community” that “community” does not include me?

Anyone able to determine exactly what role Clark plays on the Council? Somebody should stick a mirror under his nostrils.

Doesn’t Ted DeSalvatore conjure the image of a nefarious used-car salesman, replete with hairhat?

Quick! Think of a good idea proposed by Donnelly, Joseph, Clark or Kaddy over the last 12 months. Half-credit: Strike the word “good.”

Does anyone other than Mylott subscribe to the notion of “Beautiful Downtown Fitchburg?” Every time Mylott uses that expression I look for his Seeing Eye Dog.

Does the fact we no longer hear talk of “growth” provide cause for concern?

Just reviewed my monthly statement from Unitil for electricity. Remind me to express my gratitude to DeSalvatore for his efforts this past Summer. Anyone take notes at that meeting?

Be honest. How many hours per day do you feel Mylott actually works?

Ever wonder what the fastest record time is between Downtown and RT 2 via RT 12 between 7AM and 6PM?

Think any execs looking for an Assistant describe their ideal candidate as “Find me someone like Pontbriand.”

Downtown Leominster must have a dozen decent places to grab a bite. Downtown Fitchburg is a dieter’s paradise.

Am I incorrect in thinking the search for a replacement for Lisa Wong as Director of the Fitchburg Redevelopment Authority hasn’t been placed on the “back burner,” it’s not even near the stove? Maybe it’s part of the “20 Year Plan.”

One of the great things Fitchburg has going for it is Romano’s Market. As the old-time retail butchers and meat cutters claimed, “You can’t beat my meat.”

Is Councilor Conry actually that unaware when he asked Mylott “Are these reports available on-line?”

Don’t know about you but I could care less as to the CBA settlement amount for DPW and Fire Department when compared with the settlement of the Teacher’s CBA. Wonder if they’ll accept IOU’s containing a photo of Mylott?

I’ll sleep better this year secure in the knowledge Barney Fife is VP of the City Council. The guy is probably following Joseph around with a thermometer.

Ever wonder what would have happened had Mylott’s recent bout with dizziness and fainting occurred during a Council meeting? Who would win the race to fetch the defibrillator?

There has not been a good, let alone great, female voice since the death of Janis Joplin and Mary Wells decision to stop recording over 35 years ago.

Really looking forward to receiving my first issue of “Steve DiNatale’s Report to Constituents”

What will happen to the School Committee’s policy on cupcakes for kids should Lisa Moison follow through with her threat not to run for the seat?
