It’s time to end the Maureen ‘Our Lady of Perpetual Bullshit’ Cranson-Kirsten ‘What Maureen Said’ Newman era of Sterling Select Board gutless stupidity/mush-from-wimps. With two (2) completely new Select Board seats opening in May 2025 due to the approved expansion of the Select Board from three (3) to five (5) seats, and hapless blob David Smith up for re-election then if he chooses to run (your correspondent received a report that Smith probably will NOT run for re-election), it is time for three (3) smart, strong, fiscally conservative Select Board candidates to come forward and throw their hats into the ring.
We need a heavy counter-balance to tax-and-spend hacks entrenched in Sterling Town Government slots and to the platitude-mouthing utter robotic jackasses constituting the Wachusett Regional School District Committee if Sterling is to avoid Proposition 2 ½ property tax override/debt exclusion votes and keep Sterling’s property tax rates somewhat sane.
Remember, “Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.”

I think you should run for the select board. You have a lot of town knowledge and you’re up on the current affairs.

Ms. Rich,
I thank you for your very kind sentiments. I ran for public office twice. Lost both times to the DemocRAT machine, the second time being two years ago when I was asked to run for a Sterling seat on the Wachusett Regional School District Committee. I would have been a thorn in the sides of all the hacks in the WRSD Administration and on the WRSD Committee. By the way, go to the WRSD website and look at the WRSD Committee votes. I can’t remember seeing a dissenting vote. They are always unanimous because none of the tax-and-spend Lefty robots on the WRSD Committee is capable of entertaining an independent critical thought.
Anyway, I’m toxic to all of Sterling’s entrenched influence-peddlers. I’ll leave the Select Board races to others who have a better chance of winning.
All the Best–
J.G.
