***** Upheaval At Nelson Place School With 98% Of Teachers Voting No Confidence In Current School Principal Mary Sealey *****
Previously it was the parents demanding an assistant principal Cindy Homan be returned to the school and accountability from Principal Sealey and they were absolutely ignored and rebuffed.
This is completely and utterly unacceptable, untenable and unconscionable.
School Superintendent Brian Allen digging in his feet in the face of tremendous opposition should be a wake-up call that business as usual is not acceptable and will not be tolerated.
Allen is now on the clock to respond to the teachers votes and the parents unrest at the new disengaged out of touch principal dragging down Nelson Place School teachers, students and support staff.
Doing nothing and hanging on to the status quo is shameful.
Change is needed desperately and immediately!

Union says 98% supported vote of no confidence.

District 1 race saw Tony4Worcester wipe the floor with radical chaos extremist Keith Linhares to regain his old seat.
District 2 race saw incumbent Candy Mero-Carlson, District 2 City Councilor lose to Rob Billotta....Mero-Carlson will be back in two years...her voice is badly needed on our city council.
District 3 race saw disgraced walking disaster John Fresolo win over Robert Pezzella for Worcester District 3 City Council....Pezzella will be back in one way or another....the guy gets it.
District 4 race saw Louis Ojeda defeat Red Ted Kostas for Worcester and Kosta needs to stay engaged, his voice is needed on the city council.
District 5 Race saw Vote Jose Rivera with a major victory in his second run over radical extremist cop-hater incumbent Etel Haxhiaj who is still facing assault charges in a court of law on Worcester Worcester Police Department (Official) officer in the Eureka maelstrom she ginned up pitting neighbor against neighbor and sowing chaos in our neighborhoods and on the council floor creating a hostile work environment.

***** Legacy Media Telegram.com Finally stepping Up After Worcester Politics 101 Broke The Story Days Ago *****
* Everyone is entitled to their day in court and is presumed innocent until adjudication in a court of law and judged by a jury of their peers *
Rev. Jose Encarnacion is facing over $900,000 in multiple lawsuits in Worcester Superior Court and in Federal Court allegedly committing fraud.
Meanwhile former councilor Sarai Rivera is blaming her campaign account bank for not responding to inquiries via Office Campaign Political Finance (OCPF) that she herself is solely responsible for doing.
Finger pointing elsewhere in these regards is a non-starter.
Multiple correspondence initiated by OCPF seeking required information as to exactly where did the close to $25,000 went to has been ignored by the Rivera campaign thus far.
The OCPF issued a cutoff date for 12/22/25 to respond before further legal action is to be taken.
Per OCPF website no answer has been received from Rivera by the cutoff date issued.
WP101 has been the very first to report on this aspect of the story for several weeks and yet again the Telegram.com is days late to finally reporting on it.

Four lawsuits have been filed since July against the Rev. Jose A. Encarcion's real estate company, Trinity Estate Investments & Development LLC.

***** Worcester Does Not Need To Replicate That Which Is Already Set Up And Working *****
Via: District 5 City Councilor Elect Jose Rivera.
The Post Commission is getting the job done by all appearances.
It is up to our local state delegatiin both in the House and State Senate to ensure adequate funding is forthcoming.

This is The Massachusetts POST Commission.

The POST board is the citizens review board. It has 9 members, 6 members can not have any law enforcement background and 3 can.

They have the authority to do investigations involving criminal or civil allegation. They have authority to conduct or redo their own investigation if they think the police dept missed something. And they re-certify police officers every 3 years.

***** Overwhelmingly The people Voted And Soundly Rejected The Punishing MCAS Testing Not To Be Replaced By Another One By A Different Name *****
Thats an F+ grade on her report card for Governor Healey and the rest of those pushing another crapass cudgel standardized test upon our school children, teachers and schools to punish them.

Piling multiple layers of new requirements on our students will create new obstacles rather than providing opportunities for them to increase their life skills and pursue their individual goals.

***** Final 2025 City Council Meeting Agenda *****
And its goodbye and job well done Councilors Russell, Mero-Carlson, Donna Colorio and Jenny Pacillo
Its a blessing that its the final meeting for radical extremist chaos City Councilors Haxhiaj along with No Show Nguyen who did not earn their salary and benefits provided by the city taxpayers.

***** Today 12/22/25 Is The Cutoff Date/Time Sarai Rivera Must Answer OCPF Inquiry As To Where The $24,877.17 In Campaign Funds Went To *****
