Simpson is Sterling’s BIGGEST SNAKE and Select Board/Earth Removal Board members Cranson and Kilcoyne are entirely UP HIS A$$. If you don’t believe me then check out this photo–
You can observe this phenomenon for yourselves by watching the 15 December 2021 Select Board/Earth Removal Board hearing on Simpson’s flagrantly illegal application to remove 18,000 cubic yards of sand/sand & gravel from the 68 Heywood Road property that is zoned “Rural Residential & Farming.” Article 48 passed at the 2021 Sterling Annual Town Meeting. It made “Quarrying or Mining” a “Principal Use” under Sterling’s Protective (Zoning) By-Laws and prohibited “Quarrying or Mining” in all areas of Sterling zoned “Rural Residential & Farming.” Go to Article 48 here– https://www.sterling-ma.gov/sites/g/files/vyhlif1266/f/uploads/2021_atm_final_warrant_june_7_2021_003_0.pdf –and read it for yourselves. Article 48’s passage means that the Select Board/Earth Removal Board lacks jurisdiction over Simpson’s illegal Earth Removal application and that Simpson’s Earth Removal application should never have been accepted for filing by the Select Board/Earth Removal Board in the first place. Simpson, Cranson, and Kilcoyne know it, too. Note that the hearing Notice posted on the Town of Sterling website refers only to Article 63 of the Town’s General By-Laws, NOT to the Sterling Protective (Zoning) By-Laws as amended by the passage of Article 48. Cute.
So mark that 15 December 2021 hearing on your calendars. During the hearing you may have difficulty seeing Simpson, Simpson’s mouthpiece (lawyer), Cranson, and Kilcoyne because they will all be blowing smoke, but you’ll still be able to hear them.
