I have been very happy with your sites commentaries and ,for the most part,have had some say in its content. It hasn’t been my intent to hurt anyone or become a problem for anyone in doing so. Don’t worry about OG . He wont go insane while the site is slow until the fall. I’m in hopes he will continue to be good in his description of the city as being bright instead of dark and his future comments being the same. Good luck in the upcoming election .

OG says…let’s fill in some missing pieces of this story….the part of the story where the MIT officer gets shot and killed in his cruiser intrigues me…why did the Feds question the older brother a couple of years ago–what was the concern at that time? why were these two suspects walking around the MIT campus on Thurs night armed with guns, pipe bombs and pressure cookers?? when do we hear from the guy who allegedly drove around with them for a half hour before they let him go unharmed ?? some interesting pieces of the puzzle still exist out there for sure….OG would love to know

Comment on Peabody’s general obligation municipal purpose loan nets very low 2.042% interest rate by anonymous

Read in the snews today Ted spiliotis and the rest of the reps are putting through a big tax increase. This ones a whopper. They are tying the gasoline tax to the consumer price index. What a royal screwing. This means the gas tax will get raised every year! These Democrats are really trying to destroy what’s left of the economy. I can’t wait until next year to vote them out.

Don’t know the answer, Ted. But you know me: I would NEVER turn down the opportunity to debate or speak to people. So sure, I’m up for that, if some group wants to sponsor it.

He is not new to Peabody, but he is new to Politics I believe. And Yes, he is running for the same seat Bob is running for. Hmmm, Bob, do you think there will be a debate in the future?

OG says…you know Ted…you raise some interesting questions because I often why no one gives a damn around here…frankly, i think it’s a question of priorities, economics and demographics…..from what I can see here in Bright City people are either working (both parents in two parent households) or schlepping their kids to sporting events….that does not leave much time to stay abreast of local political things….parents are more in tune and get involved when their kids are in elementary school but we lose them as their kids migrate on to a huge middle school and then on to a private high school or to our dreary high school facility…most seniors out there focus on taxes and making ends meet which is understandable so that restrains their interest and penchant for spending…I just think that not much time is spent focusing or following local affairs by the average Joe out there…if you lined up 10 Peabody citizens maybe three of them could give you the names of three current city councilors….are we different from other cities and towns in terms of political interest and passion? I think so….we always have ‘new faces’ from time to time and typically they don’t fare too well…some have to run twice to even have a chance ….so it bothers and frankly I am at a loss as to how we can light a spark under their arses….if you don’t have time to get into it then you don’t have time….taxes are just another bill to pay in the stack of monthly bills that we all have pile up…and that is sadly how OG sees it…

Really? I live on Jordan Road and I don’t know him at all. Is he new to Peabody? Running for the same office as Bob, right?
