In December 2022 Sterling’s overweening, lying, and corrupt Board of Health snuck through its local regulation requiring septic system “deep observation hole” tests for pre-April 1995 septic systems, applied at the time of property transfer/sale, in outright violation to 310 CMR 15.101, 102 and 310 CMR 15.301, 302. SEE Part V, sub-part d.:  It hadContinue reading “THE TOWN OF STERLING’S  LYING, CORRUPT, POWER-HUNGRY BOARD OF HEALTH’S SEPTIC SYSTEM ILLEGAL “DEEP OBSERVATION HOLE” TESTING REQUIREMENTS”

GEE, what could possibly go wrong in the Town of Sterling when its self-serving weasel-developer Planning Board Chair, Carl Corrinne, and superfluous Town Planner, Stephen Wallace, the latter looking for ways to justify his continued feeding from the Sterling taxpayer-funded public mammary gland, announce their intentions to “overhaul” Sterling’s Protective [Zoning] By-Laws???

In March 2023 I sent the following letter to bloviating Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell who, back then, was threatening to sue into submission the four (4) principled, courageous, and legally justified Massachusetts municipalities refusing to adopt so-called ‘MBTA High Density Affordable Housing Zoning Districts’ under the spurious and illegal 17 pages of ‘Guidelines’ putContinue reading “STERLING PLANNING BOARD, STILL CHAIRED BY SELF-SERVING WEASEL DEVELOPER CARL CORRINNE, RE-VISITS DISCREDITED SO-CALLED ‘MBTA HIGH-DENSITY AFFORDABLE HOUSING ZONING DISTRICTS’”

Readers of this Blog know that I have long stressed the importance of creating additional Sterling downtown parking capacity as a REAL driver of economic development while Sterling’s so-called ‘Economic Development Committee’ wastes time, effort, and taxpayer money dicking around and scheming ways to lavish taxpayer money on Main Street’s private property owners–at least oneContinue reading “WHILE STERLING’S SO-CALLED ‘ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE’ SCHEMES TO LAVISH TAXPAYER MONEY ON MAIN STREET PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS IN ORDER TO PRETTIFY IRRELEVANT BUSINESS FACADES, THE LAMBs GROUP–“LOCAL AREA & MAINSTREET BUSINESSES” –IS FORMED TO ADDRESS THE KEY DOWNTOWN PARKING SHORTAGE ISSUE”

When the scumbags constituting the Sterling Zoning Board of Appeals a/k/a “The Developers’ Doormat” told those assembled at the 11 April 2023 hearing into the 100 Clinton Road multi-family development proposed by two-faced weasel Carl Corrinne, the developer who is in a total conflict of interest as Chair of the Sterling Planning Board, that theyContinue reading “PATRICK FOX, JOE CURTIN AND THE STERLING ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS A/K/A “THE DEVELOPERS’ DOORMAT” GANG OF DISHONEST SCUMBAGS GET A SHODDY ‘OPINION’ FROM ANONYMOUS ‘TOWN COUNSEL’ TO COVER THEIR CROOKED ASSES AS TO CARL CORRINNE’S 100 CLINTON ROAD PROPOSED MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT SO THEY CAN CONTINUE THEIR YEARS’ LONG CAMPAIGN OF SUBVERTING/PERVERTING STERLING’S ZONING BY-LAWS AND SCREWING ABUTTERS”

During the 11 April 2023 initial hearing on Sterling Planning Board Chair and Weasel’s Weasel Carl Corrinne’s proposed multi-family development on the parcel known as 100 Clinton Road, Sterling, Massachusetts, Corrinne’s Hack Buddies on the Sterling Zoning Board of Appeals a/k/a ‘The Developers’ Doormat,’ when asked point-blank by one in attendance if Corrinne was onContinue reading “DURING THEIR 11 APRIL 2023 HEARING ON CARL CORRINNE’S PROPOSED MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT CORRINNE’S HACK BUDDIES ON THE STERLING ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS A/K/A ‘THE DEVELOPERS’ DOORMAT’ PRETENDED NOT TO KNOW THAT CORRINNE IS THE STERLING PLANNING BOARD CHAIR”

MEMO TO STERLING’S PREENING SO-CALLED ‘ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE’:  Main Street storefront beautification/aesthetic improvement HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR STATED MISSION OF BRINGING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO STERLING. So where do you get off scheming to bestow taxpayer-funded LARGESSE on Main Street private property owners to improve the appearance of their storefronts when they canContinue reading “STERLING’S DYSFUNCTIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE SCHEMES TO SPEND OUR TAX DOLLARS ON MAIN STREET PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS TO SATISFY THAT COMMITTEE’S STORE-FRONT AESTHETICS FETISH”

Any property developer who becomes Chair of the Sterling Planning Board is, by definition, a self-serving, self-dealing Weasel’s Weasel, and Carl Corrinne is IT. He’s a smoke-blowing walking Conflict of Interest. Sterling developers are accustomed to getting unwarranted Special Permits and Variances, undermining the letter and intent of the Town of Sterling Protective (Zoning) By-Laws,Continue reading “STERLING PLANNING BOARD CHAIR AND SELF-SERVING, SELF-DEALING WEASEL’S WEASEL, PROPERTY DEVELOPER CARL CORRINNE, FILES A PETITION FOR A SPECIAL PERMIT WITH HIS STERLING ZBA HACK BUDDIES TO BUILD A MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT.

Unbeknownst to almost everyone in Sterling, the Sterling Board of Health slid through, recently, a completely arbitrary and capricious septic system “Deep Observation Hole” evaluation regulation for real estate transfers involving subject properties that have not had a septic system “Deep Observation Hole” evaluation performed any time after April 1995. So, for all practical purposes,Continue reading “THE STERLING BOARD OF HEALTH’S ‘FULL-TIME’ [WINK, WINK] AGENT, DAVID “NOWHERE MAN” FAVREAU, IS IN POSITION TO PROFIT FROM THE STERLING BOARD OF HEALTH’S NEW, ARBITRARY AND CAPRICIOUS, SEPTIC SYSTEM “DEEP HOLE OBSERVATION” EVALUATION LOCAL REGULATION”
