There seems to be some issues that are unresolved within Fitchburg which may cause Mayor Wong to resign. If this becomes the fact then who would you vote for to replace her? Who would you encourage to run for this office?

We all need to examine what all the utility rates were before the Wong administration took office. What is the difference in the total amount of property tax that you paid before Mayor Wong?

How do you view the business atmosphere within Fitchburg? Would you open a business within Fitchburg? What type of business?

How do you view public safety?

What are your suggestions for a batter and safer Fitchburg?

If Wong resigns she will not be a candidate! Ryan, when are you going to run for office again? Seeing that you run the housing department now tell us how many Fitchburg residents have had their water shut off on them in 2011 and 2012?

And let me ask you a direct question. Is Mayor Wong planning to allow Fitchburg homeowners' past due tax bills to be purchased by a thrid party like Worcestor has done?

One more big question as is part of Lynch's proposals. Does the Wong Administration intend on having a resident exemption allowance to be added into the property tax figuring? Will there be a Senior deduction allowed for elder Fitchburg home owners/residents???

And finally, why do you think that Mayor Wong seems to be against Fitchburg residents and their concerns as it always seems like she is against Fitchburg residents?

Yeah, he does not even know how to word the question properly. Instead of giving Wong a hard time, he should beg her for a janitorial position. He just might be qualified to wash those toilets.

You're like a dog chasing its tail. How pathetic. I'd vote for Charles Manson before I voted to YOU, LYNCH. You need to be locked up for good!

Nope...the utility rates have nothing to do with the mayor, and you are an idiot for suggesting that it does.

Nope, property taxes are set using simple math concepts and have nothing to do with the mayor. The City Council approves the rates. You really are quite stupid.

I would expect the business atmosphere to be a result of the economic conditions we are under in this country. If you open your eyes, you would recognize that our entire country is in an economic slump. Fitchburg was a mill town with industries that went into decline, as well as industries that moved operations down south and into other countries. The mayor has less influence than you imply in controlling what businesses and who decides to do business in Fitchburg. Our current mayor has the skillsets needed to help Fitchburg financially and she has been doing that.

My best suggestion Kevin is for you to go away...that would be a tremendous help to the citizens of Fitchburg. The drama that you bring with you just distracts everyone from focusing on the issues that count...if you are really sincere about helping Fitchburg...GO AWAY AND LEAVE US ALONE!!

Ya, Fitchburg is distracted alright! The Sentinel has an article concerning the tax rate today. The Telegram has an article on the water rate increase today!

Ya, everything is going great for Fitchburg! Is there any store within Fitchburg that hasn't gotten robbed?

I do not agree with you concerning what the Mayor can influence and/or propose! If in fact the Mayor is made aware which she is of a increase for water and sewer in the works and the conditions of the system and updates then in my opinion she can intervene to a point!

Today is the first snow storm and the streets were unsatisfactory cleared. The behaviors and actions of ALL city departments are the responsibility of the MAyor ! The Mayor has a tremendous amount of input into ALL dealings within the city! As Mayor she can propose alternatives to the city council and can be part of EVERY debate put in front of the council!

The Mayor controls and oversees the budget of the entire city! She does have more controls than you are admitting to out here! For one, I believe that you are Mayor Wong!

If so I am going to ask you another question. Did President Antonucci donate money to your campaign? And is it a fact that he is on the board of trustees at Unitil? As Unitil is allowed to operate as a Monopoly is it ethical for a president of a state University to be on that Monopoly's board of trustees?

Myself, I do not feel that it is ethical but my feelings could just be that my feelings as it may be ethical. This is why I am asking for you to clarify.

As an opponent, I am also asking you about the Tasca investigation. How much money was funneled through this process? What are the particulars? As a public elected official I feel that it is at least unethical for you as Mayor not to disclose the particulars of the Tasca reinstatement especially as yourself and the city attorney lead the public to believe that a FPD police Captain stold thousands of dollars through an accounting scheme as you stated he changed the journal entries!

If Mr. Tasca did not steal money as the public was lead to believe then do you think that you should resign??

You have got to be the most stupid person in Fitchburg. There goes the dog again, chasing his tail!!! Here's a clue MORON. Comp time stolen from the city is NOT PHYSICAL CASH! Yes, it has a cash value, but no physical MONEY was stolen. What and idiot you are!

"Comp time stolen from the city is not PHYSICAL CASH!" Not right MORON!!

Lets walk you through it MORON! OK, take for example a weeks pay for a Captain. First understand that there are many "accounts" to choose from when "collecting" on them in your weekly paycheck!

A Captain decides to take time off, he needs to either put in for vacation, comp, sick time or personal time ect..

The Mayor stated in this case that the Captain "physically" changed the journal postings. As the Mayor refused to disclose, we do not know which account was "physically" withdrawn from concerning PAYROLL!!!

As you hopefully know there is no account that is labeled "comp time accumulated and recorded in my own head only over the past nine years"! So an individual will withdraw from another account.

My guess was that the money may have been withdrawn from an account that the Mayor herself had set up that was designated for "extra patrols on Main st." If you remember the mAyor requested for $70,000 to be taken out of "block grant funding/CDC" and to be placed in an account to be used by the FPD for "extra patrols on Main st".

We have asked the Mayor if this was the account and if not what was the account that was "drawn" from? The Mayor has choisen to "not disclose" the particulars which leaves everybody still guessing!

Full disclosure concerning the publics money is a law!! I don't know how the Mayor is able to refuse to disclose? If this was allowable then it would be done all the time and corruption and illegal activity would take place on a regular basis!

As you state "physical cash" are you excluding the paycheck altogether as not being physical cash?? From my understanding he was withdrawing from this account in order to recieve funding through this account via his paycheck immediately!!

Now, you are I believe attempting to twist the story in a sense utilyzing the scenario of "accrued comp time"! The accrued comp time was only an issue as it was not being drawn from as it was left to accumulate 100%! It was an indicator that something was not right!

Simply, you cannot collect full pay checks while not working and not utilyzing the accrued time!

Now another point which I do not know the facts is this question. Is the accrued comp time and an individuals current salary figures upon retirring get added together from which a percentage is drawn from to determine the pension check? If so then there is definately a problem and there may be many others in trouble due to this fact also. If I remember correctly; Tasca stated "the entire administration has beeen utilyzing this comp time for years"! This could involve retired FPD members as well under this scenario.

Only the Mayor and a few others know all the particulars which leaves the rest of us to guessing. In my view the Mayor utilyzed and led the public through the entire situation until it involved reinstating the Captain. Something just doesn't seem Kosha!!

A full disclosure would answer all questions. Remember this is the publics money that is being utilyzed and spoken for as the public has an absolute right to be told where ever penny is going! Periodically the Mayor goes to the city council and request permission to move money from one account to another. The accounts in question were taken from Community Development which includes Block grant funding. This account is normally utilyzed to give loans to local small business and start ups.

Yeah, and we have all been encouraging this idiot to get a job, but would you hire him? If he was flipping burgers (one of the few jobs he is qualified for) and grease splattered on him, he would be suing for $10,000,000.

As much as I do not think it is fair for us tax payers to provide for this joke, I would not wish him on any employer.

Prison for him is sounding pretty good right now.

Hey dummy do you even know what comp time is? Oh that's right you've never worked before and are stupid so I will type this slowly for you. Comp time is the way a company gets around paying over time or say time and a half. Nobody likes it they would rather get time and a half for all of the overtime but instead they acrue comp time or in other words a paid day off.

Many years ago I worked for a very busy company. We all had to work overtime. We all counted on the extra money in our paychecks. Then the owner hired this "brilliant" business manager who said we are going to change things to comp time. Everyone threatened to walk out. We were all hard working and we didn't want to accumulate paid days off. We wanted to get the time and a half to provide for our family.

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Scorpio

Today's Lunar Eclipse at the Full Moon stirs up powerful emotions during the next two weeks (as it has done since the Gemini Solar Eclipse last month), and it may not be a very pleasant experience. Are you feeling rather compulsive and obsessive? Financial issues could be a problem,, especially if they appear to threaten your sense of emotional security. Don't let jealousy or envy make you do things that will set other people against you.
