Your thoughts? I’m sure that the blindsided lunatic left progressive nut jobs will still defend her!

“A Herald public records appeal has revealed that Gov. Maura Healey’s office and State Police knew about embattled former aide LaMar Cook’s criminal history, which includes serious 2001 gun charges, before they hired him as the $115,968 Western Massachusetts deputy director.”

Your thoughts?

As you could see I’m not the only one inquiring about the stupidity of the new Somerville street designs!

“Anyone know why these new curb cut-outs and sidewalk “extensions” are now on Tufts St. in East Somerville? Makes the road super narrow for 2-way traffic, and I feel like it’s more hazardous for bikers now, given the restricted space now on the road.”

The Medford Police Department needs your help in identifying this scumbag!

HELP SANTA (AND MPD) GET THESE SNEAKERS HOME 🎄👟

Do you recognize the individual pictured here?

During what should have been a routine holiday delivery in South Medford, this Amazon delivery driver decided to add themselves to Santa’s Naughty List by stealing a young girl’s Christmas present, a limited-edition pair of Stranger Things Converse sneakers.

While we truly appreciate the many hardworking delivery drivers during the holiday season, this Grinch-like behavior crossed the line. The Medford Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying this individual so we can reunite the victim with her stolen Christmas gift and help restore a little holiday magic as soon as possible.

If you recognize the individual, the vehicle, or have any information that may assist in this investigation, please contact the Medford Police Department at 781-391-6767.

Let’s work together to make sure this story ends with the sneakers back where they belong, under the tree, and help keep our community safe this holiday season.

Thank you for your continued support.

Congratulations to all and God speed! Stay safe! 🙏

PS: If you notice Somerville City Counselor Matt McLaughlin’s own brother who was a Somerville Police Officer left the City of Somerville’s police department to join the Cambridge Police Department as you can see here, so what does that tell you about the credibility of Somerville? 🤔
——————————————-

The Cambridge Police Department is pleased to announce that five new police officers have joined the department. All five are POST Certified and have previously worked as Police Officers with other departments in the Greater Boston Area. The new officers are as follows:

Luis Colon Castro
Stephen Correia
Mark McLaughlin
Michael Palmer
Aron Pavey

The group was sworn-in to their new positions this morning during a ceremony at the Robert W. Healy Public Safety Building. Each will now complete an orientation and field training program to become acquainted with the policies and procedures of the CPD before being assigned to fill vacancies within the patrol division.

Your thoughts?

After almost 10 years of local politics holding back development and bureaucracy it's official! Patsy's Pastry, the long abandoned building on Broadway, will be purchased again after the last owners were screwed by the city and now it will be converted into 100 percent affordable housing!

Any Somerville elected official that is all of a sudden pounding thier chests out there (and there is one  city councilman already pounded his chest on his page) regarding this should be ashamed of themselves because while they were in office this strong-arming and decade long stalling took place and even more disturbing it was allowed! Shame on the city counselor who could’ve put a stop to it and ended the criminal actions long ago but he chose not to! At one point as city counselor he did say and I quote he called it “Systemic corruption here in Somerville” but he still chose not to do a thing about it!
