I love how people love to start these rumors...Van Campen is letting folks do his dirty work for them because he is too cowardly to do ANYTHING on his own. Heisenberg is clearly a Flaherty shill who just wants to see Sal hurt and people yet again show they have no idea how the legislature works.
This is a 100% FABRICATED story.
What Sal did help get passed is the verification that Charter Review can proceed. That passed the same day Casino's did. |

What are you talking about???? What this topic has been discussing is what Mayor DeMaria is POSSIBLY going to do with a special act to have someone, other than the President of the BOA, be acting mayor when he goes on leave. This has nothing to do with the charter or charter review process and Rep. Smith and Sen. DiDomenico, as far as I know.
As for being a Flaherty "shill", instead of throwing accusations around and saying I want to hurt Sal, go back to the State Rep/Senator topic and tell me where I'm wrong.

| No bill like that is filed at all...Van Campen is calling around in a tizzy instead of just asking who would have to be the sponsor in the senate - SAL. This is a fabricated story. Just read this "topic" and you will see plenty of references to the State Senate and Sal. |

Everettboy,
I can't speak for other people on this blog, but I wasn't accusing anyone except the Mayor and I just wanted to know IF anything had been done at all at the state level that's all.
And why is topic in quotes? Are you mad at me because I did shill in quotes? I'm also waiting on a reply from you in the Senator Flaherty????? topic. I disagree with the Senator, write about it, back up what I say, and I'm hurting him? Well, go to that particular topic and refute what I said. If I'm wrong in a post I will gladly apologize and/or clarify something. |

| I spoke to RVC about this issue. He is not running around in a tizzy. FYI, he told me there seems to be no truth to the rumor. Also, any member of the Mass Senate could bring this issue forward. It does not have to be Sal. |

| It wouldn't even make it out of committee if the local Senator doesn't support it. RVC has made plenty of calls about this issue... |

| What answer are you looking for that you asked me? The question over there seems to be who the COS is and I already responded that it's Wally and the Campaign Manager is Keohan...Just because people have the rumor out there that Napolitano is the COS doesn't give it any validity. As for the votes Sal is taking - He has voted exactly how he said he would from the positions I knew about him...We made so many calls it got easy to know his stances...even if the Flaherty folks were lying about him everywhere they could (and still are). |

Well, obviously you're not going to look at the posts I told you to for whatever reason, so I'll give up on that.
As for his votes, how can you help middle-class, blue-collar people by voting FOR illegal aliens?????? Where was that in his campaign literature and the phone calls I got? I know its only one vote but it was a big vote in my opinion. Why did he do that…to get the lefties over in Cambridge? He was thinking more about his political future with that particular vote, then the voters that elected him. If I wanted votes like that in the Senate I would have voted for Flaherty. I actually voted for DiDomenico, but like I said, the more I think about it I really didn’t vote for him I voted against Flaherty.

Hypothetically, if a local Senator doesn't sponsor a piece, it does not mean he doesn't support the piece. For whatever reason, they sometimes ask a Senator from a different district to bring some issues forward. In the past, I was involved in an issue where that is exactly what happened.

What a hypocritical statement to make and a blatant lie. First of all, Van Campen is no coward and certainly not in a tizzy. Many, many times he has stood on his own with little or no support. He does not need 200 people behind him to make a statement and is not afraid to speak up. It’s those type of people that are cowards.
Then you say people on blogs write “rumors” and “fabricated” stories…. and people don’t know their ass ends from their elbows, and you throw out names, and do the very same thing that your complaining about.
90% of the time what you read on blogs and NEVER read in papers end up true, or eventually becoming true……… and you know why? Because that’s exactly what these blogs were created for, and now people that had a part in their creation no longer believe in the democratic process, and that is the saddest part.

I know that I'm somewhat (OK, very) late weighting in on this topic. I have no idea who has explored what options nor what other people are saying or doing about it. But I believe very strongly that bypassing the city's charter is not something that could be done without putting a resolution on the city council agenda to request a special act from the state legislature for a home rule petition, getting it passed by both branches of the City Council and signed by the Mayor before it could be sent to the state for their approval. Neither a state senator or a state representative can introduce a home rule petition on behalf of a a city or a town.
This is exactly the same type of issue that caused the validation of the Charter Commission's status to get bounced back to the city earlier this spring. The first time around, it was passed by the the city with the expectation that Rep. Smith (the only elected state legislator for the city at the time) could introduce the piece at the state level. A month later, the piece was back on the city council agenda because the actual act had to be submitted by the city, even though, I hear anyways, that the state told them exactly how to draft the request. Since RVC was one of the main sponsors on the charter piece, I'd think that he'd know exactly how the process needs to work now. I think that if RVC wanted to get this idea killed, the only calls that he would have had to make would have been to the other members of the BOA that might be open to turning down the Mayor's request. But as I said earlier, who knows what else might have gone on. |

| RVC must be very disappointed. Why wouldn't the mayor turn over the city to the President of the BOA for the short time until he recuperates? |
