THE STERLING FINANCE COMMITTEE, CAPITAL BUDGET COMMITTEE, SELECT BOARD, AND D.P.W. BOARD AGREE ON A PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGN TO PUSH APPROVAL OF THE OUTRAGEOUS, RE-PACKAGED D.P.W. GARAGE MAHAL BOONDOGGLE AT $25,535,000 FOR 28,000 SQUARE FEET, OR $912 PER SQUARE FOOT, A HIGHER PER-SQUARE-FOOT COST THAN THE ORIGINAL D.P.W. BOONDOGGLE PROPOSAL SHOT DOWN AT THE 13 NOVEMBER 2025 SPECIAL TOWN MEETING

If you thought that ANY Town of Sterling Board, Committee, or Department gives a rat’s ass about YOU, THE TAXPAYERS, YOU’D BE ABSOLUTELY WRONG.

Just before the joint Sterling Finance Committee-Capital Budget Committee 26 February 2026 meeting wrapped up Select Board member/pernicious dope Maureen “Our Lady of Perpetual Bullshit” Cranson, sitting in the audience along with the officious and incompetent Select Board Chair, Kirsten Newman, to universal approval of the Finance Committee and CBC, announced that there will be a concerted propaganda campaign to push approval of the re-packaged Sterling D.P.W. Garage Mahal Boondoggle at $25,535,000 for 28,000 square feet, or $912 per square foot, instead of the $33,000,000 for 37,000 square feet, or $892 per square foot, original Garage Mahal Boondoggle shellacked and shot down at the 13 November 2025 Special Town Meeting by a vote of 373 to 183. The D.P.W. says that the $25,535,000 figure is fixed and non-negotiable. All the afore-mentioned aim to enlist the Sterling Meetinghouse News and The Landmark in their propaganda campaign, and probably The Item too.

MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT—THESE A$$HOLE$ ARE ABSOLUTELY OUT OF CONTROL.

In 2018 the Town of Berlin got an excellent 13,000 to 14,000 square foot new D.P.W. building for $4.1 million, or about $304 per square foot.

This BOONDOGGLE will be coming up in several months for ANOTHER Special Town Meeting vote.

In the meantime hold on to your wallets and stay tuned.
