Has Mayor Wong driven around Fitchburg at night?
Sentinel & Enterprise Posted: 01/20/2012 06:31:02 AM EST I read your article titled "Light fight hasn't dimmed in Fitchburg," and I am astounded by what you're being told by the mayor. First, I believe the mayor just tells people what they want to hear in order to get re-elected. She's been telling us all along that she would gradually turn lights back on. How many years does it take to do that? And people believe her! While our taxes keep going up and property values keep going down, we are being denied a basic necessity, lights! Second, this bickering back and forth between her and Unitil -- when will people realize it's all a game, a political game. They've both lied to us, so whom do we believe? Neither! And thirdly, she states, and I quote the article, "In 2009 Wong introduced a new policy on legitimate places for streetlights that includes intersections, dangerous curves, fire hydrants and the end of dead-end roads." Really? Take a ride at night up here by Hemlock Drive, Loiselle Street, St. Jude Boulevard and the new development, Park Hill Estates, and you tell me if there are lights on at all the hydrants! There is a hydrant across the street from me, and it hasn't been turned back on since she originally shut off most of the lights in the city. You'll see I'm not lying. And there are also some lights that have burned out at some intersections throughout the city also. I tend to doubt the mayor is enforcing any policy, new or old, to have streetlights turned back on. I know some people ---------- Advertisement ---------- reading this are probably thinking that if it bothers me so much, then move. I would love to move, but I built my home long before she came into office and by me moving, it wouldn't fix the issues. She needs to do her job and fulfill her promises. And I believe that's why a lot of people don't have pride in Fitchburg. What's there to be proud of? Higher taxes? A sewer problem that should've been fixed years ago? Now our sewer rates are increased so it can be fixed to avoid penalties. Drug and gang problems? Yes, I'm really proud to live in Fitchburg -- not! She should take a ride at night around her "wonderful" city to see just how well her "policy" is in effect, and I'm not talking about in her neighborhood or downtown. She needs to ride around the outskirts and see the "black hole" that a lot of citizens of Fitchburg are living in.

We need to encourage people to vote and to get involved. We need to demand accountability in every department. How can you overlook all the city departments such as FPD behavior while holding all Fitchburg citizens accountable????
This double standard does nothing but divide the community into us and them! We need to build a sense of community. Fitchburg citizens pay the high salaries of many administration officials, it is time to start to demand results! It seems like every store in Fitchburg is being robbed. not once, not twice but three times!!!! This fact will absolutely kill businesses and raise insurance rates!!! If you see a robbery, if you see drug deals, if you see car thefts and any other crimes call the police. We need to rebuild this trust between the FPD and the community in order to enhance cooperation!! We need to respect and build as a community. I have never lied when I stated Fitchburg has a lot of good people within. Fitchburgs arcitecture is a hidden gem. If all this is not captured and utilyzed preoperly then the city will fail! Start by putting on the dam lights!!!!!! And YES, the college area is light up like a christmass tree and the college does not pay taxes to Fitchburg!!!! If you are a homeowner within Fitchburg, you will pay approxiamately $50,000 in property tax alone over the next twenty years!! We need to widen this tax base and stop increasing of the taxes on the citizens that are left within Fitchburg. The city has been mismanaged, PERIOD!!! POOR JOB!!! |

What has Mayor Wong created for Fitchburg? Has she made it feasible for businesses to set up shop? Has she made it cost efficient or far reaching nearing impossible for business??
Losing the Longsjo race is a complete failure! Look at the businesses that did sponser the race! This is community building! Having pride in your neighborhood! What good is in Fitchburg due to Mayor Wong? What has she changed for the better? It is more expensive for businesses and residents to live in Fitchburg than it is for them to open up shop in Leominster or Worcester! We need to compete with these cities in a sense for business! Unitil steps on the city and all its residents! The University gets much more respect than Fitchburg residents who PAY TAXES!! Fitchburg University is going NOWHERE! They are here for good! They are planted here economically!! I am not saying to ignore them but stop kissing their ass!!!!! They are using state funds to build within Fitchburg; the city's only concern here should be to accomodate them in their goals in reference to loans and grants given to Fitchburg RESIDENTS through the block grant program so that homeowners can fix their homes! If you pay $2,500 in property taxes a year, you are ultimately paying the city $50,000 over 20 yrs!!! Your neighbor is paying the same and so on down the block! There needs to be accountability for the CITY OF FITCHBURG BELONGS TO ITS CITIZENS!!!!!! You pay for the police, fire , dpw, water, road repair and lights!! All these departments need to answer to each and everyone of you!!! If you rent, a portion of your rent goes into paying property taxes and water and sewer ect! Go online to check out what a three family pays in property taxes within Fitchburg, look at their water bills!!! You pay excise taxes, fees and all other taxes, fees and rates! You pay local taxes off your phone bill!- |

Judged: 1 You ignorant #ucking moron. First off you low life scum, Wong and the city has nothing to do with the Longjo race. The city DID contribute, most of the money came from sponsors, if you knew anything about the race it was never held entirely in Fitcburg. The last day, which attracts the biggest crowd is in Fitchburg. Fitchburg did not lose the Longjo race. the race needed changes to survive and attractive to more racers. Its very expensive to operate a race like the Longjo and the top riders are going to go where the money is. The race organizers needed to make it more competative to attract a bigger field. In order to do that they needed to change the courses to get more sponsors. Many of the larger sponors have dropped the Longjo over the years for economic reasons. Having the cource start in Worcester is a great idea it also will attract larger sponsors. The race became a victim of the economy and the organizers did what they had to do to keep it going. Starting at the Major Taylor statue and ending in the city that Art Longjo came from is a great idea and being a long time serious cyclist I'm looking foward to taking part in it. By the way do you know who Major Taylor is? most likely not. Stop blaming Wong for all the cities woes. she may not be perfect but she has done a good job trying to fix problems that were years in the making. If you don't like Fitchburg get the hell out, its scum like you that make Fitchburg the way it is. Nobody cares what you think all you do is %itch and whine on this forum. Making accuataions with out any facts or proof to back up your claims. There is no money missing, there is no Tasca file, you have no proof of anything. For 2 years now you have been making all these claims about the FPD and that the public will soon know. Nobody cares. If you had any stones you would write a letter to the editor of the sentinel, make all your accutations in print. If there is any wrong doing as you claim I'm sure the Sentinel or T&G would love to hear it. Get a life, you are such a bore. Your parents must be so disappointed and ashamed. |

We know you do not drive around Fitchburg at night, as you do not even have a driver's license. And I guess your mommie must have told you what she pays in property taxes. You do not own a home. When are you going to grow up, get a job and move out of mommy's? |

Judged: 1 Why would anyone turn on the lights around a dam. Lights in a neighborhood should take priority over a dam! Your an idiot! |

It was never held entirely in Fitchburg? Don't call me a low life scum as you are the low life scum! you open your mouth and all you do is criticize me and you do not even know me!
So what claims have I made that are incorrect??? Can't f---ing remember?? I have too much gonads is what people tell me! People tell me, fuck it Kevin, why bother??? I bother because i feel that it is worth it! You and others are so self centered I am tired of it! I like Fitchburg! I like the people within Fitchburg! I want to see Fitchburg triumph but if you and your fuck ups are allowed to have a hand in any more decisions then Fitchburg will drown! You and all your fu--ing cronies fu--ed it all up! Self serving POS! This is what you and others are, self serving!!!!! Who cares if you ride a bike, really??? Who cares?? I do not ridfe a bike but I feel that the race meant alot to Fitchburg. It gave Fitchburg a positive identity! Don't tell me about the FPD and about all the years that your group totally destroyed and ruined Fitchburg for selfish economic gains! You could be in dorchester or springfield and people have heard of cleghorn street! Enough of your BS! You are full of shit and always have been! Where are your solutions?? You dumbasses have destroyed Fitchburg, hopefully you stay out of Fitchburg so Fitchburg can get past your ignorance! You want to talk about social programs dependancy but then you don't want to create jobs. You are one of those who will state , "oh if only all the spanish left Fitchburg so Fitchburg could succeed! I have been fighting your ignorant racism on here for two years. It is because our city council didn't have a set of gonads that was worth its weight in salt that Fitchburg is the way it is today! I have guts which known of you have, NONE!!! Just point a finger at the problem is all you do, point blame! Wong has been in office now for four years! |

The simple answer is possibly no. She could be afraid she may come across a psycho path like you? |
|
| |
You are just an idiot! How am I a psycho path? Because you don't like me? Because I question your allegiance and ass kissing of the "good ole boy network"? You to me always sounds like you are the butt end of the jokes! You enjoy this? You are a follower, I am a leader! You point blame and offer no solutions! It bothered this group that a guy who had down time ran for Mayor. I say "TOUGH"!! You offer no common sense to a discussion, ever! You are an idiot! I will be running for Mayor again! LMAO! I will bring positive change to Fitchburg! You list from Leominster and hide your identity! You are a scared person. |

Those whom God wishes to destroy, he first makes mad.
-Euripides Hey Lynch-take a few moments to ponder the above. As taxpayers we are paying more than enough for your MassHealth policy. Psychiatry is expensive and your policy has limits. Get the point?? |
|
Really?? So is Pasquale your real name? Quoting God? Interesting! Do you attend church? Do you think that you are a hipocrit? Paying enough? Have you ever heard of corporate welfare??? Who built the pyramids? Doesn't God also state throughout the bible that the wealthy upon judgment day have no place in heaven? Do you understand this concept? You have power? You enjoy mistreating people through its use? Do you ever think that you will be caught? |

Are you really Italian? Isn't Mostaccioli a pasta dish? Do you know Frank Ziti? What about Loui Linguini? So what is your point? Are you giving me integrity points of the MOB? Let me tell you, when they get killed they spiral directly to BURNING HELL! |

The Longjo race you stupid low life POS was held only in Fitchburg when it was a one day race, it hasn,t been a one day race in 20 years. I know I raced in it several times and was a volunteer. You don't know what your talking about as usual. Its not the cities job to put on sporting events, they help and thats it. Do you really think Boston pays for the Boston Marathon? and it is not run entirely in Boston, the Tour De France is not completely in France. You are one stupid &uck. Get a life will you. |
|
And by the way if you had any real stones you would be taking pictures of drug dealers and prostitutes at work instead of some cars parked in a no parking zone, and it wasn't even a "Tow Zone". You are so pathetic, all your compliants, whining and %itching goes unheard, nobody cares, the ressidents of Fitchburg don't care, city and state officals don't care, NOBODY CARES WHAT YOU THINK, PERIOD. Your ideas are stupid at best, all the accusations you have made on this froum have no merit and you have no proof. Wong and Demora don't even read this forum other than for a good laugh. There is no money missing anywhere with the exception of the $40k that was related to Bruce Richards. Tasca did nothing criminal and there is no files. If you have hard proof, hire a lawyer and go from there. Until then keep your useless mouth shut because you don't know what your talking about. Your nothing but a liar, pure and simple. You need a doctor, a good one the sad part about is the tax payers will foot the bill. |

OH Ya I do drive around Fitchburg at night, my boy friend drives us around. I know the lights are on at the purple store every time we go there.
Wong turn the lights on |

"What claims have I made that were incorrect"? are you serious, brain dead or both. Most of your claims are incorrect. Lets see some hard evidence. Put up or shut up. |

Judged: 2 1 Whoa, whoa, whoa...as far as the illegal parking over at JR's Pub goes; the area in front of Jr's Pub on North Street is clearly marked with not one, but two, No Parking signs. And, as I have pointed out more than once here on F-burg Topix Forum; PARKING IS NOT ALLOWED ANYWHERE ON NORTH STREET; FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER. When the Asian Quick Mart was open on North Street; the FPD would tell anyone who stopped on North Street in front of the store, even for a minute or two, to get moving or to face a parking ticket. These same cops would ignore 6 illegally parked cars over at JR's that were there for hours on end, night after night. The FPD would also ignore the 30 motorcycles that were parked illegally on the sidewalk of the Fire Station; as the owners of these bikes drank over at JR's Pub. And; as far as Tasca and his comp time goes; you are right. Based on what the pubic was informed in this matter; Tasca does not appear to have done something illegal. Sleazy, yes. Deploreable, certainly. Outrageous, without a doubt. But illegal; perhaps no. But again, my sources tell me that Charlie Tasca was involved in things far worse than bilking the Taxpayers out of two weeks of ancient and unrecorded comp time.....and that is why he quietly turned in his badge and wadddled away..... |

Judged: 2 2 2 "My sources" means "my husband, the malcontent cop." Otherwise, you wouldn't know so much about so little, nor would you be continually consumed with these silly little issues concerning your husband's supervisors and colleagues. When did you emasculate your husband? After the castration, did he keep his ballz for possible later use? I hope so. Maybe he'll be able to use them again some day after you're gone,(if he's lucky). |

Judged: 2 2 2 You certainly appear to be consumed with me, Toots. You seemingly wait in the shadows here on F-burg Topix Forum, hoping that I post something. And, you make sure to respond to whatever comment I post. Suck it up Lady; you and your family totally blew it over at JR's Pub. You bunked the rules and the laws; and all the while you failed to pay proper attention to the details of your oh so precious liquor license. So now, you are apparently paying the rent on a bar building that you can't use as a bar. My sources tell me that on occasion your quaint little pub is actually open; but it appears to be on a strictly "bring your own booze" business approach. You and your family have no one to blame but yourselves on this mess, Toots. You fiqured that as long as you had your boy Chuckles behind the scenes that everything would be OK. No matter what amount of crap you were pulling. And, of course you knew that our useless Liquor Commissioner would give you a free pass as well. But, once the sh#t hit the fan, when your boy Chuckles popped his cork and attacked Mr Lynch; your pathetic little house of cards started falling in around you. Again, suck it up, Honey. You had a sweet deal; but you and your family clucked it up. Showing up here on F-burg Topix Forum and being bitter; as you whine and cry in your beer is no way to behave. But, you and your family have not behaved very well all along; so why would you change now? You have become nothing more than a nasty and unhappy old hag. We can all see that. Have a nice day, Toots! |
