I have helped to form a group called The Clinton Local Accountability Improvement Group

We are a group of concerned citizens who are focused on bringing accountable leaders and policies to our local government here in Clinton, Massachusetts.

Whether it is excessive taxation and spending or unethical behavior of our town’s leadership, the Clinton Local Accountability Improvement Group is here to help.

The Clinton Local Accountability Improvement Group seeks to educate the public by presenting the facts and resources available in one place for the voters of Clinton . We believe that an educated voting public will make the best decisions for our community.

With an emphasis on Local Elections and Town Meetings we have a voice, and with your participation, we can improve our community.

That is from the “About” page. Lots of work to do.

William Connolly jr was elected selectman to the town of Clinton Mass replacing my friend Tony who had enough of the beatings from the other members of the board.

Local elections and local government are the most influential parts of our democratic society in our every day lives. Local elections are the cornerstone of our republic! i encourage all to get involved in the local politics as much as you can stand. here in Clinton politics is referred to as a “blood sport” by my friend (and past selectman picture on the right) Joseph Notaro. Check out his blog. Blood Sport

Congratulations to Bill and his wonderful family!

These two (Mary Rose Dickhaut and James LeBlanc) have accused me of operating a “White Supremacy” web site.

These two (Mary Rose Dickhaut and James LeBlanc) have accused me of operating a “White Supremacy” web site.

Exhibit A. (their own words):

“We, concerned citizens of Clinton and Lancaster MA, wish to report what we believe to be
serious violations of Massachusetts State and Federal law. We feel that a “White Supremacist”website is in full operation in our community, along with blatant death threats, as well as terrorist
threats to blow up municipal buildings and infrastructure.”

I am appalled  and hurt by such ridiculous accusations. The seriousness of such a thing is immense.

Get out your boots, the BS these two are shoveling is getting deep!

How does that sound?

  • If it sounds good then send me an email and I will let you know where to send the check. (credit cards not accepted)
  • If it doesn’t sound good…. welcome to the conservative movement.

  • Anonymous cowards
  • Hateful
  • Libelous
  • Spineless
  • Venom spewers
  • Do not have courage or integrity
  • Pathetic

All under the “guise” of free speech.

I enjoyed the article right up until the name calling came in. Then he lost me.

But still, it is an interesting point of view. Perhaps the author should sign up at the forum instead of sneaking around as an anonymous guest?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

It is good to see free speech active in the local papers!
