WHERE IS THE STERLING SELECT BOARD’S PETITION TO THE LEGISLATURE REQUESTING EXPANSION OF THE SELECT BOARD TO FIVE (5) MEMBERS?

At the 2 May 2022 Sterling Annual Town Meeting the voters approved amended Warrant Article 3 to have the Select Board submit a Petition to the Massachusetts Legislature (General Court) requesting that the Sterling Select Board be expanded from three (3) members to five (5) members.

At that Annual Town Meeting none other than self-perpetuating Select Board Chair “Our Lady of Perpetual Bullsh*t,” Maureen Cranson, promised all voters present that such Petition would be submitted. Just so ya know, Select Board member John “Bent Buffoon” Kilcoyne’s daughter happens to be an elected representative in the Legislature.

According to The Item newspaper, Clinton, Massachusetts, at every Sterling Select Board Meeting since 2 May 2022 attendees have demanded that the Select Board submit that Petition to the Legislature.

Seven (7) full weeks after that Annual Town Meeting I submitted the following Public Records Request to the Select Board (here all text is justified to left margin):

P.O. Box 1149
Sterling, MA 01564-1149
14 June 2022

Select Board
Municipal Building
1 Park Street
Sterling, MA 01564

Dear Sterling Select Board Members,

In accordance with Mass.Gen.Laws Ch. 66, Section 10, request is hereby made for a complete copy of the following:

  1. The Sterling Select Board’s Petition to the Massachusetts General Court (Legislature) requesting that the Town of Sterling Select Board be expanded to five (5) members from its current three (3) member limit, such Petition being approved as Article 3, amended, during the 2022 Sterling Annual Town Meeting and, during said 2022 Sterling Annual Town Meeting, the submission of such Petition to the Massachusetts General Court being promised to all then present by none other than Sterling Select Board Chair Maureen Cranson.

NOTE: Sterling Select Board member John Kilcoyne’s daughter is an elected member of the Massachusetts General Court.

Failure to respond to this Request in a timely manner may result in a Superior Court action for enforcement.

I thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

James F. Gettens

Clerk, Town of Sterling

Note the ccs to The Item and to Town Counsel.

Well wouldn’t ya know, that Public Records Request apparently prompted the Select Board members to actually shift on their ass cheeks and vote, during their 22 June 2022 Meeting, to so Petition the Legislature. Now isn’t that just SPECIAL?! They could have done THAT during their 11 May 2022 Meeting and directed Town Counsel to draft the Petition. They failed to do so–then and repeatedly thereafter.

It is obvious that they are dragging their feet, now claiming that the Petition process will be delayed further due to the Legislature’s summer recess and fall elections. Massachusetts legislators mostly sit around with their thumbs up their A$$E$ while feeding from the taxpayer-funded public mammary gland, anyway, so it’s not like this Petition will disrupt any pressing legislative initiatives, except maybe those sponsored by the HARD LEFT and intended to screw Massachusetts taxpayers more than they are already getting screwed in order to benefit all the Massachusetts parasites who vote for the HARD LEFT… Yeah Folks, the Massachusetts Legislature is really on recess most of the year.

Oh, and the Legislature won’t OFFICIALLY start summer recess until 31 July 2022. SEE https://ballotpedia.org/2022_Massachusetts_legislative_session

SO WHERE IS THE SELECT BOARD’S ACTUAL PETITION TO THE LEGISLATURE– YOU KNOW, THAT PAPER THING WITH WRITTEN TEXT ON IT???

Well, late last week, after the Select Board’s 22 June 2022 Meeting, I got an email from Kama Jayne, the Select Board’s Administrative Assistant, saying that that “document does not exist.”

NO SH*T, KAMA! I guess that’s why you get paid the big bucks at our expense.

THE JOE CURTIN STORY AND THE STERLING BOARD OF HEALTH’S DISHONEST 7 APRIL 2022 MEETING MINUTES

It should come as no surprise to Sterling taxpayers and voters that the Sterling Board of Health’s 7 April 2022 Meeting Minutes, concerning Sterling Zoning Board of Appeals’ member Joe Curtin’s 218 Upper North Row Road septic system, discussed in connection with his proposed new ‘Accessory Dwelling Unit ‘ at that location, constitute a mini-Master Class in omission and deception.

The relevant portion is reproduced as follows:

“Health Agent Report:
Update of Complaint Regarding 218 Upper North Row Road Accessory Dwelling Unit:

A complaint was filed with David Boyer at DEP, suggesting there was collusion and corruption occurring at this address in regard to a building permit for a one-bedroom accessory dwelling unit. Health Agent Favreau sent a letter to Mr. Boyer explaining the complete history with this home, which was constructed in 2012 as a 4-bedroom dwelling. Mr. Favreau performed an assessment of the home and determined the addition of the accessory dwelling unit, to be located in the basement, would not increase the existing design flow of the system as the septic system was designed and constructed for 5 bedrooms.”

SEE https://www.sterling-ma.gov/node/2376/minutes-agendas

Fascinating how those Meeting Minutes fail to mention that Sterling Zoning Board of Appeals member Joe Curtin owns that 218 Upper North Row Road property AND THAT HE HIMSELF, as a “Registered Professional Engineer,” signed his own 2012 septic design plan for that property instead of “John M. Deline, Jr.” of “Deline Engineering,” the firm that supposedly completed that Plan, the name “John M. Deline, Jr.,” typed onto that Plan, having been lined out. Mr. Curtin placed his own signature above his own Seal reciting “Commonwealth of Massachusetts Registered Professional Engineer.” That was an utter conflict of interest and fraud on the Town of Sterling.

If that Septic Design Plan was REALLY legitimate then why was John M Deline, Jr.’s name lined out as signatory and why was the Curtin house built in 2012 with four (4) bedrooms, NOT five (5)? Do you really think that David “Nowhere Man” Favreau, the Board of Health’s alleged “full-time” Agent, who was running his own septic business in 2012, witnessed the construction of Curtin’s septic system and knows its actual capacity?

The Board of Health met next on 12 May 2022. The relevant portion of that Meeting’s Minutes is somewhat curious:

“General Business Updates:
Approve Any Available Minutes: April 7, 2022:

A motion to approve revised minutes of the April 7, 2022 meeting was made by Cathie Martin and seconded by Anne Marie Catalano. Roll call vote: Hoffman – aye; Martin – aye; Catalano – aye. Motion carried.”

SEE https://www.sterling-ma.gov/node/2376/minutes-agendas

“Revised minutes of the April 7, 2022 meeting”, Eh?

How much you wanna bet that the “revisions” were about covering various and sundry asses?

In essence, the Sterling Board of Health’s 7 April 2022 “revised” Meeting Minutes demonstrate that if the Board of Health and its alleged “full-time”
agent, David “Nowhere Man” Favreau, are not FRAUDS themselves, then they are at least “Accessories After the Fact.”

NOTE: The BOH Meeting Minutes referred to herein WERE NOT posted on the Town’s website until I sent the BOH a Public Records Request for them noting that the BOH had failed to post, as of the date of my Request, the vast majority of its Meeting Minutes from and after July 2021.

FAUCI, THAT PSYCHOPATHIC LITTLE PRICK, GETS THE ‘RONA

That’s right folks, Mr. ‘sCieNce’ himself, recipient of four (4) fraudulent so-called mRNA Covid ‘vaccines,’ Fauci The Psychopathic Little Prick, was diagnosed with the ‘Rona on the very same day that Big Pharma’s FDA psychopathic lackeys approved the dangerous and fraudulent mRNA Covid ‘vaccines’ for babies, that despite the fact that children, statistically, have a ZERO per cent chance of dying from the ‘Rona (especially now since the various Omicron ‘sub-variants’ are mild and, oh yeah, the ‘variant’ mutations are occurring so rapidly that the dangerous, fraudulent mRNA ‘vaccines’ don’t touch them anyway). Of course, documents obtained by Judicial Watch show that Fauci and other Big Pharma whores inside NIH have shared at least $350 million in Big Pharma kickbacks (er, ‘Royalties’) on patented drugs that said whores sponsored in past years. SEE https://www.judicialwatch.org/fauci-collins-shared-in-secret-nih-royalties-totaling-350m-watchdog-report/

At present we don’t know how many profiteering stockholder whores inside HHS, NIH, CDC, and FDA are getting fat off the patented, fraudulent mRNA ‘vaccines’ funded by $Billions of YOUR tax dollars funneled through Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca. Surprised???

As for Fauci getting the ‘Rona, here’s the Newsweek article (HEH!!!)– https://www.newsweek.com/get-owned-pig-vaccine-skeptics-celebrate-news-that-dr-fauci-has-covid-1716329

How much you wanna bet that that Lying Piece of Sh*t is taking Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine, right now, at 40 cents to $1 per dose, after publicly trashing those cheap, effective off-patent drugs (no kickbacks, er, ‘Royalties,’ on off-patent drugs, dontcha know) in favor of the useless, dangerous, fraudulent, patented mRNA Covid ‘vaccines’?

SUGGESTED READING: While you are sipping down a couple big mugs of coffee PLEASE read retired Neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D.’s masterful article about the Covid scam, the most murderous ‘public health’ hoax, orchestrated by a massive coterie of profiteering sociopaths and psychopaths, of all time– https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9062939/

Dr. Blaylock, in that article, cites RFK, Jr’s book, The Real Anthony Fauci. Get it from your local library. I did in January. It’ll make your blood boil.

Whatever you do, make sure that NO ONE in your families gets any, or any more, of these dangerous and useless mRNA fake Covid ‘vaccines.’

LGBT BRAINWASHING BROUGHT TO US BY THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS AND THE STERLING SENIOR CENTER

The following emails are self-explanatory:

Dear Ms. Felton,

The message from you, below, was sent to me by a Sterling resident and taxpayer. Please be advised that such purported state-required LGBT training violates the First Amendment rights of Sterling Senior Center employees and volunteers to be free from forced political and ideological propaganda, proselytizing, indoctrination, or brainwashing.

SEE Generally:

https://scholarship.law.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3608&context=lawreview
https://vtdigger.org/2022/03/15/deborah-bucknam-stop-racist-trainings-in-vermont/
Mandatory Union Dues Violate Workers’ First Amendment Rights, SCOTUS Rules

I respectfully suggest that by insisting on such LGBT ‘training’ the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the Town of Sterling are exposing themselves to potential liability for violations of Sterling Senior Center staff members’ and volunteers’ Constitutional and Civil Rights.

In this context the proper training is simple and consists of this: In Massachusetts it is illegal to discriminate in the area of public accommodation on the basis of sexual orientation. That takes about 15 seconds, not 45 minutes.

I have copied the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, to which I am a long-time donor and supporter, on this email.

Sincerely,

Jim Gettens
Lawyer, Retired
Sterling, Massachusetts

Hello Everyone,

As service providers under the realm of the Executive Office of Elder Affairs (EOEA), all staff and volunteers at Sterling Senior Center are required to complete LGBT training by the end of June 2022.

Training is online, simple, and takes approximately 45 minutes. You can pause training and resume at a later time. There is no test, and you will receive a certificate at conclusion.

You can access the course via the link: https://sites.bu.edu/maasap/lgbt-aging-in-massachusetts-registration/

If you have no online access at home, or need technical help, I can set you up in the classroom here at the Senior Center. Just contact me to set up a time.

On course completion, please e-mail me a copy of your certificate so I can check you off my list .

This is a state required training session. If anyone has any questions or concerns regarding the training or has technical issues, please see me or call me.

And don’t forget to log your volunteer hours for this.

By the way, if you haven’t joined us for a while please let me know that you’re still interested in helping out! We have a few openings in the kitchen now and special events coming up – we’d love to see you!

Thank you for your continued support,

Clare

THE 101 OSGOOD ROAD DETACHED “ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT” PETITION– THE STERLING BOARD OF HEALTH’S PURPORTED “FULL-TIME AGENT” (WINK, WINK) TAKES TIME OUT FROM RUNNING HIS COMBINED BUSINESSES TO DO SOME WORK FOR THE TOWN

David Favreau is the purported Town of Sterling Board of Health’s full-time agent/inspector (wink, wink). After this Blog broke the ‘Joe Curtin Accessory Dwelling Unit Story/Scandal,’ it appears that Mr. Favreau took some time out from running his combined businesses, a septic business and a construction business, to actually examine septic system requirements for the petitioned 101 Osgood Road detached “Accessory Dwelling Unit.”

The same David Favreau still maintains a website for his septic service business–
https://www.favreausepticservices.com/repair

In 2021 the same David Favreau purchased F & G Construction Company, Inc. whose public filings can be viewed by searching the Massachusetts corporate database here– https://corp.sec.state.ma.us/corpweb/CorpSearch/CorpSearch.aspx

Apparently Mr. Favreau now runs the combined businesses as “David Favreau Construction & Septic Services”– https://www.yelp.com/biz/david-favreau-construction-and-septic-services-sterling

On 5 May 2022, in accordance with Mass.Gen.Laws Ch. 66, Sec. 10, I mailed a ‘Public Records Request’ to the Sterling Board of Health concerning the proposed 101 Osgood Road detached “Accessory Dwelling Unit” and its septic system. Documents produced in response show that on 6 May 2022, the very next day, Mr. Favreau sent a letter to the Sterling Building Department and the Sterling Zoning Board of Appeals a/k/a The Developers’ Doormat, with a copy to the owners of 101 Osgood Road, reciting in pertinent part:

“I have reviewed the BOH files and confirm that the existing… subsurface sewage disposal system is designed for four bedrooms, and solely provides adequate provisions to the existing four-bedroom dwelling… Additional provisions for this proposed increase in sanitary flow to support an Accessory Dwelling Unit are required. The applicant has engaged…Hannigan Engineering….”

The Sterling Zoning Board of Appeals a/k/a The Developers’ Doormat continued its hearing on the 101 Osgood Road owners’ Petition for a detached “Accessory Dwelling Unit” from 10 May 2022 to 7 June 2022.

Stay tuned.

JUST LIKE A FISH, PATRICK FOX, CHAIR OF THE STERLING ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS A/K/A THE DEVELOPERS’DOORMAT, DOES A FLIP-FLOP ON THE CIDER HILL ESTATES ‘NO TOUCH ZONE’

Patrick Fox, Chair of the Sterling Zoning Board of Appeals a/k/a The Developers’ Doormat, never met an abutter or neighbor to a local developer’s proposed development project, no matter how sketchy or objectionable that project may be when stacked up against Sterling’s Protective (Zoning) By-Laws– the very set of By-Laws that Mr. Fox is duty-bound to uphold and enforce–that he wouldn’t hose in a heartbeat.

So he put on display his true colors yet again during the 12 April 2022 Sterling ZBA Hearing on the Cider Hill Estates ‘No Touch Buffer Zone’ (off Redstone Hill Road), the VERY ‘No Touch Buffer Zone,’ recorded as a PUBLIC RECORD at the Worcester District Registry of Deeds, that the Sterling ZBA ITSELF, in 2016, imposed so as to protect abutters to the Cider Hill Estates multi-family development. In the manner of an outright hypocrite Fox moved to ELIMINATE that Buffer Zone in its entirety– https://www.sterling-ma.gov/node/2041/minutes-agendas

Under Sterling’s Zoning By-Laws Cider Hill Estates, built by SIMPSON, STERLING’S BIGGEST SNAKE, should never have been permitted in the first place because its access road is within 150 feet of not just one, but THREE (3) existing driveways to abutting residences. The Sterling ZBA members, of course, never read a Sterling Zoning By-Law prohibition they would not readily subvert and granted Simpson a ‘Special Permit’ to build Cider Hill Estates anyway.

This time around, however, Chairman Fox ran into some well overdue resistance from other ZBA members for whom Fox’s blatant hypocrisy was, perhaps, a ‘Bridge Too Far,’ so to speak. They proposed amending that ‘No Touch Buffer Zone’ with certain conditions suggested by abutters. On a Motion, the amended ‘No Touch Buffer Zone’ was adopted, the vote being 5-0, meaning that Fox flip-flopped like a fish.

LIARS GONNA LIE–THE STERLING SELECT BOARD’S TWO MALEVOLENT MUPPETS GO BACK ON THEIR 2018 ANNUAL TOWN MEETING PLEDGE AND CONSIDER ‘TOWN PLANNER’/’GOFER’ RE-TREADING

The Sterling Select Board’s two Malevolent Muppets, ‘Our Lady of Perpetual Bullsh*t,’ Maureen Cranson, and the ‘Bent Buffoon,’ John Kilcoyne, true to their deceptive and devious forms, waited until AFTER the 2 May 2022 Sterling Annual Town Meeting to announce their intention to hire a purported ‘Town Planner’ (their latest all-purpose hack ‘Gofer,’ in reality). SEE 11 May 2022 Select Board Agenda– https://www.sterling-ma.gov/select-board/events/109621

You see, 2018 Sterling Annual Town Meeting voters passed a Warrant Article authorizing the hiring of a Town Planner based on the EXPLICIT REPRESENTATION then made by said Malevolent Muppets that such Town Planner would be hired ONLY TO COMPLETE THE TOWN’S NEW MASTER PLAN. Thereafter the Select Board hired Domenica Tatasciore whom the Malevolent Muppets used as their all-purpose hack ‘Gofer’ at Sterling taxpayer expense. Ms. Tatasciore, in autumn 2021, in an act of mercy for all Sterling taxpayers, parachuted out of her ‘Town Planner’/’Gofer’ position and blew out of Town, BUT NOT BEFORE being paid approximately $225,000 PLUS benefits over thirty-six (36) months, and WITHOUT HAVING COMPLETED THE TOWN’S NEW MASTER PLAN.

Well folks, in the blessed absence of Domenica Tatasciore the new Town of Sterling Master Plan was completed– https://www.sterling-ma.gov/home/news/the-final-draft-of-the-master-plan-is-here
So you gotta wonder why, in the small Town (population 7900) that is Sterling, do the Malevolent Muppets want to go back on their 2018 pledge and hire another purported ‘Town Planner’?

My bet is that they want another general purpose ‘Gofer,’ adding to their Municipal Building administrative fiefdom bloat at our expense, and that, after a “thorough and intensive nation-wide search,” the Malevolent Muppets will pick– drumroll… — Patty Page, now Administrative Assistant to the Building Department.

WHY SOME 2022 STERLING ANNUAL TOWN MEETING ATTEMPTED CRONY-ZONING BUTTHURT LOSERS ALSO SUPPORTED KEEPING THE THREE-MEMBER SELECT BOARD, ANOTHER LOSER

A fascinating correlation manifested itself during Sterling’s 2022 Annual Town Meeting conducted Monday night, 2 May. Carl Corrinne, real estate developer and hack Chair of the Sterling Planning Board; former Select Board member Richard Lane, this guy– https://www.seacoastonline.com/story/news/2005/09/20/head-police-academy-transferred-after/51253541007/ –who, when in office, was up the A$$ of local developers, particularly Brian Foley’s; Brian Foley himself; and Patrick Fox, Chair of the Sterling Zoning Board of Appeals a/k/a The Developers’ Doormat, all supported the attempted crony-zoning of Performance Zone 1 to Commercial. Turns out that Mark and Karen Packard, who appeared before Corrinne’s Planning Board, the Board that sponsored this attempted re-zoning, in December 2021 and January 2022, when and where they proposed certain commercial enterprises within Performance Zone 1 on Redemption Rock Trail between Dana Hill Road and Route I-190, own SEVEN (7) parcels WITHIN that zone, one (1) by means of the KK Realty Trust, Karen Packard Trustee, and six (6) by means of the following: 44 RRT, LLC; 37 RRT, LLC; 35 RRT, LLC; and 32 RRT, LLC. ‘RRT’ stands for Redemption Rock Trail. All of those Limited Liability Corporations are listed to 12 Michael Lane, Sterling, the Packards’ home address, as shown by reports on file with the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Corporations Division.

Note that Lane, Corrinne, and Foley all had a hand in promulgating and/or drafting the developer-promoted, crony-crafted, absolutely abominable ‘Earth Removal By-Law’ rammed through for approval during the 2021 Sterling Annual Town Meeting. Fox endorsed that execrable piece of crap, out loud, during the 2022 Annual Town Meeting.

The attempted crony-zoning of Performance Zone 1 to Commercial failed, thankfully, this year just as it did last year. All the homeowners along Redemption Rock Trail between Dana Hill Road and John Dee Road can breathe a sigh of relief. We hope that that weasel’s weasel, Corrinne, takes the hint.

SO, why did Corrinne, Lane, Foley, and Fox ALL support retaining a three (3) member Select Board rather than expanding the Select Board to five (5) seats???
ANSWER: Because Select Board members ‘Our Lady of Perpetual Bullshit,’ Maureen Cranson, and the ‘Bent Buffoon,’ John Kilcoyne, are wholly owned by local developers. Fox is a Select Board appointee.

It is reported, and is to be fervently hoped, that Kilcoyne, the ‘Bent Buffoon,’ will not run for re-election in 2023.

During the 2022 Sterling Annual Town Meeting voters passed an Article expanding the Select Board to five (5) seats and requesting that the Select Board petition the Massachusetts Legislature for an Act approving that expansion. Assuming that that happens, and in view of Kilcoyne’s reported 2023 planned departure, local developers will have to work harder to compromise an expanded Sterling Select Board.

It is reported that Corrinne, Lane, Foley and Fox, following adjournment, left the 2022 Annual Town Meeting in butthurt condition.

WHO IS MARK STODOLSKI, AND WHY IS HE, THE TENANT OF A STERLING REAL ESTATE AGENT, RUNNING FOR STERLING PLANNING BOARD???

In case you missed it, stealth candidate Mark Stodolski is running for Sterling Planning Board against incumbent John Santoro. SEE
https://www.thelandmark.com/story/news/politics/elections/local/2022/04/01/one-contested-race-sterling-ballot-planning-board-candidates-needed-offices/7192234001/

Have you seen any printed candidate statement issued by Mark Stodolski or his handlers? I neither.

So, what do we know about Mr. Stodolski? Well, for one thing he is a hot air balloon pilot– https://airportguide.com/airmen/A2269782/MARK-DAVID-STODOLSKI That fits–Sterling Town ‘Government,’ such as it is, runs on blown hot air.

We also know that he resides at 6C Jill Lane, Sterling– https://thatsthem.com/name/Mark-Stodolski/Sterling-MA

Does Mr. Stodolski own 6C Jill Lane? No he does not. The “Clara Gorczynski Living Trust” does. Do the address search here– https://www.axisgis.com/SterlingMA/

Who is Clara Gorczynski? Well, she runs the Sterling Century 21 Real Estate agency– https://www.century21.com/real-estate-agent/profile/clara-gorczynski-P25216006

SO, ya gotta wonder, why is the mere tenant of a Sterling real estate agent running for the Sterling Planning Board, a Board that has significant impact on land use determinations in Sterling, and what little coterie in Town put him up to it??? I’ll give you three (3) guesses, and the first two don’t count.

BOTTOM LINE: DON’T VOTE FOR MARK STODOLSKI.
