Sterling’s ZBA members never met a local developer whose A$$ they would not kiss readily (THE A$$ Of STERLING’S BIGGEST SNAKE, SIMPSON, BEING THEIR PARTICULAR FAVORITE).

CRANSON AND KILCOYNE VOTE TO SHIELD THEIR APPOINTED FINANCE COMMITTEE TOOLS FROM MANDATORY TV BROADCASTS OF FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETINGS
The Sterling Finance Committee, appointed by the Select Board, has not stood up for Sterling’s taxpayers since Larry Pape was its Chair ten (10) and more years ago.
