I knew about Marchese Construction, which only adds fuel to the fire for me the way Mike Marchese has been acting, or I should say…keeping his mouth shut.
I don’t know why the joint convention was cancelled but I do know the city sold that land on the corner of Vine and the Parkway for $600,000.00 knowing the owner wanted to put in a laundry mat.... then implemented the Moratorium.
I’m not in favor of a laundry mat, but I thought that was VERY DISHONEST. That owner from West Roxbury is paying taxes on that land, and cant do a damn thing with it. It was disgraceful how that was handled. They took his money then said screw.
Is this the 12 million dollar budget you are looking for?

| Thanks, but I've already seen that. What I'm looking for is a line item budget, much like we get for the operating budget. Comparisons to prior year's appropriations (even though this is the first year, there should be comparisons to the similiar line items in the operating budget), positions in the department and what they are being paid, etc. It seemed as if there was some other document that they were discussing at the Finance Csommittee but I haven't seen it anywhere else. And trying to get anything out of City Hall is like pulling teeth. |

Ok. So I am reading the advocate this morning and I see the vote for double dipping, the only question I have is that Police or Firemen are civil service there is a state law that allows them to get their pay along with pay from the military, so now the city gets involved. I think they need to do their homework on this, I might be wrong but I don't think you can over rule state law and civil service I could be wrong
So the city increases in 9.54% are those all the citizens that the state let go or all the crip's that have moved into the city ( just wondering)
So if Cornelio ask for the Whitter School (his ward) why can't they do that for all the schools?? it's a great gesture Serg but I don't think it's fair, and I can't see the city spending more money to change the signs.
Rosa had a great idea but I wouldn't of push it to everyone, I would bring it back for Fire and Police for future hirings (which we all know will happen) they should live in Everett and carry guns with them at all times.
I vented I feel better now. Time to go patrol the city. |

These crips are living all over the city. They are new, and it's like an invasion. They are also trying to recruit school children into their "Crip"
I know of one house and I live six houses away..... and we cant even keep our windows open because they are so loud at night. Even with them closed you can hear them, it's terrible. It does not take a detective to see where they are, and what they are doing. It's another big problem that the city has, and it's mainly because they will NOT crack down on these rooming and halfway houses. People like Carlo want to live up in their Taj Mahal way in the back and live in a fantasy world and think everything is wonderful. Time to get back to reality! |

| Do you or your neighbors contact the police when the crips are noisy? This is the first that I have heard of them being in Everett. It is simply becoming too scary to live here. Unfortunately, most of us can't sell our homes because the money we owe on our mortgage is higher than what we could sell the house for. |

| I've contacted the police, they came out and it quieted down. 30 minutes later, they were back at it with a spot light on in the yard at 1:30 in the morning. I called the police again, and was told they were too busy to come out for noise calls. My neighbors that live even closer, are too terrified. Ask anyone about these Crips. They are also at Walgreens and were harassing teenagers after school saying "Cum ear" "Cum Ear" I had to leave work and go pick them up. What really disturbs me is the police station is right there, but they don't "SEE" anything. |

| This is really sad. No one should be terrified to call the police. It is also outrageous to be told that the police were too busy to come out for noise calls. I would make it a point to let the Police Chief and the Mayor know what is happening. If nothing was done, I'd take it to the Boston newspapers. |

You want to know what is REALLY sad too.....
My neighbor is in her 80s and her husband past away a few years ago so she is alone. Last summer she was hiding in the bathroom, crying, calling the police at 1am also. She lives directly across the street from them and is terrified. Her and I got together and reached out to the ward 6 Alderman, since these are absentee landlords and rooming/halfway houses causing all this trouble. His response was he was sorry, but a similar piece was already on the agenda and got killed because it was only on to hurt Stat Smith. This has nothing to do with Stat Smith (and I think Stat would agree) but I'm telling you this so you realize the mindset of what we are dealing with. |

72 Prescott is transitional house that houses criminals who think they are ready to go back to society. Truth is no money to keep in jail. Friday someone trying to break in doors on Prescott St. and police caught him on Pearl St. after he hopped fences. They wear ID bracelets and city makes deals with the state and gets money. That's why nothing will ever be done.

It used to be that we all knew who our neighbors were, not anymore. It's pretty sad when you can't even feel safe in our own homes. I make sure my doors and windows are always locked. Of course, if someone wants to break in, they will not matter what we do. I believe we need more police presence in our neighborhoods. The demographics of Everett has changed and our policing needs to change with it. Everett has become much more violent over the past few years.
I also think it's a great idea for our public employees to live in the city. Mike Marchese has been trying to get this passed for quite awhile. Let's see what happens with it this time. |

| Absolutely, we need more police presence in the neighborhoods. They used to walk the beat all the time, but not anymore. I also do not believe in teaming up with these other cities is going to help with this type of violence that is perpetrating to extreme levels lately. I think it's going to end up being more costly in the long run, but I'd like to hear more on it. Teaming up with these other cities may help with big drug busts, or weapons busts but not the Joe Schmo walking down the streets that like to rob the elderly or home invasions. There has been an increase in home invasions too that is not being addressed. The only officer I give credit to is Larry Jedry. He really does help but one officer cant take on the whole city. There needs to be a plan....like presence in neighborhoods will be a start and the police must live in Everett. They don't care because they don't live here and that's when it started going downhill! |

There's quite a difference on what was said on the collection of code enforcement fines since the mid-term speech.
I wanted to make sure, so I fast forward the video of the mid-term speech on evctonline to that part.... and at that speech..... the mayor specifically stated that.... "The Task Force has shut down 100 illegal rooming houses and code enforcement has collected over 900 thousand dollars in fines, this year alone."
No where near the numbers that were given tonight. |
