Subject: Hey Frank, Daigle doesn't need anyone to carry his jock strap, he's got you!

Ok so I admit it.
I have read Frank Zabierek's post on his voy.com message board, you know the where he pretends to be some guy named "dropkick".
Why Dropkick? Gee do you think when he was in school he got dropkicked around the recess yard a bit? That would certainly explain the personality issues.
More likely "leaving" town, the loss of his 40b affordable home and the failures at the polls caused this "Joker-like" personality problem.

Now if you've read his post, you can understand why a couple of concerned friends have called to suggest I call my Lawyer. Whats the point?
This latest slime job isn't the worst stuff he has printed, the one about my daugher's restaurant is the one that will cost him eventually. We do keep a complete file.
Based on my past case with a newspaper, it would be easy to get a judgement but then what.
Look at it this way, if you ran into a homeless guy and he slandered you, would you call your lawyer?
Now Frank, I know that it makes you feel real smart to call me "peter Pan" and to call Dennis "the bald headed devil" but, unlike you, we actually use our real names and email addresses.
We are not at all like you.
And one other thing Frank, doesn't it seem weird to you that a guy that is ashamed to use his real name on his voy site would have his last name on his auto vanity plate?
Maybe youre right, they don't know you yet in New Hampshire.
So about the Daigle thing .
My little rant about Roger was related to his latest crusade agains my family and I.
This time its about health insurance.
Roger seems upset that I am covered under the towns health insurance as a retiree but for some reason, he always thought it was fine for his friends to get the same benefit at the water supply district.
Making matters worse, he sends the BOS a letter,lying
about some job I'm getting.
Hello Roger, I have a job,don't want another one and have NEVER talked to anyone about working for the town.
So Frank, to youre point about Roger and his jock strap, he doesn't need anyone to carry it, he has you.
And you proudly carry it around like a puppy with a bone
in its mouth.

By now most of you know a question has been placed on the spring ballot asking the voters if they want to take over the DWSD.
After lobbying hard to stop the question from going to the ballot, and failing in an attempt to place three questions on their own ballot, the commissioners have apparently approved the idea of sending out a survey to compete with the town's ballot question.
Is anyone else concerned about the spending of public funds to impact an election?
Can you believe that a political action committee has been set up to fight a non-binding question?
The debate on this question should be about the form of government, unfortunately,the reaction from Hopkins street seems likely to change that.

Okay....Here we go. Is the question should we merge the 2 water districts?

My first question is why do we need to do this (merge the 2 districts)? What or when made Dracut have 2 water districts in the first place?

I thought I heard something like.... If it is not broken, meaning if the department runs smoothly, why would we want to merge them? Are people going to lose their jobs because of a merge?

Is this the same district that would be in charge of the bottled water that Dracut is trying to sell.... or is in the process of trying to get that idea to come to life? Is there a problem with maybe loosing OUR rights to well, if the 2 districts merge? If so, how could loosing our rights to the well be possible?

It will be replayed in it's entirety tonight 4/5 at 7pm, and tomorrow 4/6 at 8pm, following a LIVE Inside Dracut Politics broadcast. Thanks, and sorry for the mixup.

Join Warren and me this Thursday, April 1st for a whiz-bang show.

We'll have old friend Gary Marsella, the Chairman of the Finance Committee to update us on the coming budget and how it might affect your life.

Then we'll have DWSD Commissioner Bob Corey and DWSD Superintendent Gary McCarthy on to explain what they’re up to vis-à-vis any potential mergers. We have extended and invite to Bill Morin as well.

Should be fun!

Unfortunately I did not actually see the show on 3/25, however, I have been informed that my name was used in such a manner as to promote endorsement of Charlie Maraganis. I spoke with Mr. Maraganis once and did not endorse him for School Committee, rather, I suggested that I did not want to become involved in the politics of the School Committee. Since he has now involved me, I felt the need to respond. I am extremely concerned that he would publicize the fact that I have issues that have not been addressed as I did not discuss this with him. The Campbell School PTO does not endorse a specific candidate, nor do I.

Good to see the Lowell Sun write a story about the Eagle along the river banks. You can see it just about evey morning around 6:30.

Coming out of Dracut into Lowell, just after the Cascades on the left side of the road. It's on a bend, so be careful when looking.

Since I been in this area of Dracut, I have seen Eagles, Deer, Coyotes, and Bear. That area is pretty popullated with some nice wildlife.

There will not be a new Round Table show this week. Jack has excused himself from co hosting until after the elections in May and I will be spending school vacation with the family, hopefully not stuck on a chairlift somewhere. We will replay last week's show and I will be on next week with either Donna Yackel or Dennis Shaughnessey.

I was utterly unimpressed with Mr. Maraganis when he appeared on Weekly Round Table this week. A couple of times he was asked to provide specific information in response to questions and was unable to do so. Mr. Maraganis has said he’s reviewed the budget, but could not come up with any areas in which he would cut expenses because he did not know what the future expenses would be. Doesn’t he realize that Mr. Campbell and Mrs. Paquette have to predict and plan for future expenses at every Finance Subcommittee meeting they attend? If he cannot come up with anything now, after studying the budget, how could he as a school committee member?

Also, Mr. Maraganis wants to reinstate higher spending on professional development. If he’s attended the school committee meetings, as he says he has, he would know that the spending in this area was reduced in order to ensure teacher positions would not be eliminated. In this time of economic restraints, it makes no sense to mandate a certain dollar amount on professional development if it means teachers or supplies would need to be reduced.

That’s grand that Mr. Maraganis wants to volunteer his time, but maybe he should consider volunteering elsewhere.

At what point will the town be over-saturated with housing for those 55 and over? It seems as if most new developments are being built this way. Do the developers do this because there's a need or because they look at it as an easy way to get an approval?

The Lowell Sun printed an article (1/14) about non-resident students being booted from the Chelmsford School system. They hired an investigator for $10K, identified 5 families attending Chelmsford schools that reside outside of the district and asked them to enroll their children elsewhere, and Chelmsford School Dept is expected to save $35K from this initiative. I know children who are attending our school system, yet all of their legal guardians have residency in NH. With our close proximity to Southern NH, I imagine we must have at least 5 non-resident families in our district. Certainly, it's not fair to us taxpayers, as well as to our children, by having additional children that do not belong there.

Subject: Dewey St. 40B Project Proposal

[Edit]
Date Posted: 07:36:49 12/28/03 Sun
On January 22nd a public hearing will be held at the Dracut High School Library at 7 p.m. for the proposed Chapter 40B affordable housing development between Merrimack Avenue and Methuen St. The proposed development will contain 62 single-family homes and 32 townhouses on a 27-acre lot.

This proposed 40B project should draw strong opposition from town officials and residents within that area of Dracut. There are already two other Chapter 40B projects in that immediate area that have already been approved. Brigham Avenue and Robbins Avenue are the ones. It also must be noted that at the end of Haverhill St. where it intersects with Methuen St., there is already more building of houses on approved lots. There seems to be another building project in the works on Methuen St. just before the Arlington and Methuen St. split off coming from the Campbell School direction. The road has been created and clearing seems to be underway.

I mention all the above projects because of the drastic increase in population in that corridor of Dracut will have a major impact on all town resources. The Campbell School would be hit the hardest.

A small group of residents in this area have begun to discuss this project and will be rallying up the others to attend this public meeting. I am hoping that not only residents in that general area oppose it, but also the ones from other areas of town.

See you at the meeting!

Join us tonight as we welcome Dennis Shaughnessey from the Lowell Sun -- who might even bring a friend!

We're also chasing down a School Committee member or two, but without any luck yet.

Although we do not have the illness excuse our friends on the A Team experienced last week, the cold weather must have slowed us down. We were very slow arranging guests and just as slow telling you about it. We'll try to do better!

Dracut's own cowardly terrorist has released another tape (post)libeling his enemies.
Experts on cowardly behavior are sure the tape(post)is from the former resident because of his continued bashing of public officials who have had a history of laughing at his ridiculous life.
"We know who this guy is" said one expert, "because,quite FRANKLY, what other person carries that much hatred".
Also known as Dracut's own Bin Laden for his" hide under a rock, never sign your name , gutless behavior",this former resident, former home owner, unsucessful candidate for office/ failed cable talk show host may soon face civil action for what many feel are "grossly inaccurate posts".

Oh cynical me believing this on-the-sly jaunt to Iraq by President Bush was done solely for the purpose of increasing his flagging popularity. Done for goodwill purposes? If that were the case then Bush would be visiting Iraq to tell everyone they could finally come home. But cynical me believes that’ll only happen if the Republicans are in danger of losing the White House next year.
