STERLING SPECIAL TOWN MEETING ON 16 OCTOBER 2023— COME ON OUT AND VOTE TO PROPERLY BITCH-SLAP THE DISHONEST, CORRUPT, OUT-OF-CONTROL BOARD OF HEALTH

KUDOS to former Sterling Board of Health member Gary Menin for organizing and spearheading the Petition drives (2) that succeeded in calling the Special Town Meeting scheduled for 16 October 2023 and getting Articles 8 and 9 on that Special Town Meeting Warrant. Unlike ANY of the current Board of Health members, Gary Menin is actually trained and certified in Massachusetts septic system requirements, parameters, and testing under Massachusetts Title V, 310 CMR 15.000.  SEE  download (mass.gov)

THE SPECIAL TOWN MEETING WARRANT: 10_16_2023_stm_warrant.pdf (sterling-ma.gov)   More than 600 Sterling citizen-voters signed the Petition for what is now Article 8, and, as a follow-up, given only a 3-day window, more than 200 Sterling citizen-voters signed a second Petition for what is now Article 9. Since the successful Petitions required the Town to schedule the Special Town Meeting, the Town then added Articles 1-7 to the Warrant.

BACKGROUND, ARTICLE 8:  In December 2022 the autocratic, out-of-control, dishonest Board of Health slid through its new local regulation requiring “Deep Observation Hole” septic system testing for pre-1995 Sterling septic systems in cases of property sales/transfers, IN VIOLATION OF 310 CMR 15.302(4). This new local regulation serves no purpose EXCEPT TO BENEFIT THE LOCAL SEPTIC SERVICE COMPANIES BY GENERATING WORK/REVENUES FOR THEM.

NOTE:  The Sterling Board of Health’s own ‘full-time’ (WINK, WINK) ‘Health Agent,’ DAVID ’NOWHERE MAN’ FAVREAU, WHO CONTINUES TO CLAIM OVERTIME ON HIS BOH TIME SHEETS (WINK, WINK), RUNS ‘DAVID FAVREAU CONSTRUCTION & SEPTIC SERVICES’ — Title 5 Inspections | Sterling, MA | David Favreau Construction & Septic Services (favreausepticservices.com)

Another branch of the Favreau clan runs ‘Favreau Septic Services’– Home Page | L.R. Favreau Septic Service

YEAH, the BOH’s new “Deep Observation Hole” testing requirement—SUCH A DEAL!

ARTICLE 9, if passed, would require an Audit of the Sterling BOH. Maybe the Auditors will suggest that, as a condition of continued BOH employment, David ‘Nowhere Man’ Favreau wear a GPS tracking device at all times so we can learn what he really does all day!

COME OUT AND PASS ARTICLES 8 AND 9 AT THE STERLING SPECIAL TOWN MEETING ON 16 OCTOBER 2023 AND DELIVER THE BITCH-SLAP THAT THE CORRUPT, DISHONEST, OUT-OF-CONTROL STERLING BOARD OF HEALTH WELL-DESERVES.
