The guy started out so well by publicly demanding that all the Dracut cops, who were employed several years ago when a stash of confiscated marijuana – valued at approximately $80K – was stolen from a supposedly locked storage trailer adjacent to the police station, be required to take polygraph (lie detector) tests. Unfortunately, as with a lot of our other elected officials do soon after they get into office, he became grossly greedy just like the rest of the bunch.
Selectman George “Golden Greek” Malliaros appears to literally have it all: runs a supposedly successful law practice on Route 38, drives a Mercedes-Benz, owns a home on Surrey Lane assessed at nearly $600K, and is a proud member of the Vesper Country Club which annual membership is in the neighborhood of about $20K.
Still feeling as if he was lacking something in life, Malliaros then turned to the lowly peon Dracut taxpayers for some help. The “Golden Greek” is now the latest elected Dracut official to exploit the Town employees’ health insurance coverage to the yearly tune of approximately $17K. Atta way you “screw” the poor people of Dracut, George – You are truly the epitome of every sleazy lawyer joke I’ve ever heard in my life!
Don’t ASS-U-ME selectman challenger Ted Kosiavelon will fix this problem
But the Dracut Board of Selectmen members are certainly no strangers to exploiting our Town’s insurance benefits. The two incumbent selectmen up for reelection this year – John “life insurance ONLY” Zimini, and Bob “Do You Know Who My Older Brother Is?” Cox – were notorious to hop on the town’s insurance gravy train soon after they were both elected to office nearly three years ago. The only challenger who’s pulled nomination papers thus far in the selectmen’s race, local contractor Ted Kosiavelon, was Malliaros’ campaign manager in last year’s Town Election. If successfully elected this May, I honestly don’t foresee Kosiavelon making any waves and possibly screwing over his good buddy Malliaros on this issue. In fact, from some of the crap I’ve heard about Kosiavelon, he’d probably go ahead and exploit the Town employees’ health insurance coverage for himself.
Perhaps Dracut taxpayers ought to start viewing these selectmen’s, as well as School Committee, races as “Lottery” contests – Whatever individual wins an elected seat, automatically qualifies for a lifetime of health insurance coverage for themselves and their families via the Town of Dracut. Other financially stipend elected offices which qualifies for public insurance enrollment, according to Massachusetts General Law 32b, include: Town Moderator, Water Commissioner, and Water Moderator.
Aside from Kosiavelon “playing it stupid” on this particular issue, look for the media to do likewise. You’re crazy if you think that former selectman Warren “Barnyard Animal” Shaw will bring up this topic on his radio show – ditto for Warren’s boyfriend, Pee Wee Herman on his Dracut website. Mr. Shaw was the very first corrupt elected official to exploit the town employees’ health insurance coverage – I don’t think Warren would want to bite the hand that feeds him and his drug-dealing convicted son, Mark.
Forget about the Lowell Sun raising this issue prior to the Town Election since both editor Jim “Compulsive Gambler” Campanini and reporter Dennis “Porky Pig” Shaughnessey take their marching orders from Mr. Shaw.
Daigle contemplates suing Town over insurance coverage information
Local activist and TV show host Roger L. Daigle has had a heck of a time trying to get the Town employees’ insurance coverage rolls from Town Treasurer Ann Vandal – Gee, I wonder why?
Basically, Daigle requested, in writing, a list of all those enrolled on the various Town insurance coverages (health, life, vision, and dental) and how much this costs the Town for each individual. Instead, Ms. Vandal would only provide Daigle with a list of everybody enrolled on a Town employees’ health insurance plan and said that anything more detailed than that would be a violation of the HIPPA laws – which it really isn’t.
For example, hypothetically speaking, let’s say former selectman Warren Shaw – who definitely is enrolled on a Town employees’ health insurance plan – was treated for genital herpes. If Daigle were to ask Ms. Vandal how much money did Warren’s health plan have to pay his doctor to treat the “Barnyard Animal” for herpes, that would be against the HIPPA laws as well as none of Daigle’s damn business. But that’s also NOT what Daigle was requesting. Ms. Vandal should’ve provided Daigle with a list that stated, among all the others, Warren Shaw was enrolled on the Blue Cross/Blue Shield Family Plan and it cost the Dracut taxpayers about $17K per year to insure both Warren and his convicted drug dealer of a son, Mark. What’s so difficult about that?
But is it any wonder when you’ve got these blatant sleazeballs like George Malliaros, and now May Paquette apparently wants to stay on the Town employees’ health insurance coverage for the rest of her natural life, as to why Ms. Vandal is just “playing semantics” and “tap dancing around” without publicly divulging any of this information to somebody like Roger Daigle?
What the lowly peon taxpayers of Dracut don’t know, won’t hurt them – or something like that.
I know Daigle has consulted with a number of attorneys over this matter, so if Ms. Vandal continues to “act dumb”, our new Town Treasurer will probably soon be afforded the opportunity to do her “tap dancing act” inside a nearby courtroom.
Aside from Malliaros, Zimini, and Cox; School Committee member Ron Mercier is also enrolled on a Town employees’ insurance coverage. When it comes to FORMER elected officials still enrolled on the Town employees’ health insurance (which is in blatant violation of M.G.L. 32b): Warren Shaw “retired from the Dracut Board of Selectmen”, Kathleen DiTillio was the “surviving spouse” of the late Jack DiTillio, and last, but by no means least, May Paquette, is a respective member of the highly prestigious Gorman bankruptcy family.
