Fall River-tastic: October 2010
http://speakupfallriver.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 13, 2010. Consider the fact that Torres justified his increased salary with the notion that he was losing money by giving up his private practice. Then imagine my surprise when I read an article out of Wareham. Which evidenced the fact that, 10 months into his contract with Fall River, Torres was still working side jobs:. Pretty sneaky of Torres and Flanagan considering the fact that the City Council approved Torres'. Labels: attorney steve torres. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Fall River-tastic: The Stupidest Bet Ever
http://speakupfallriver.blogspot.com/2010/12/stupidest-bet-ever.html
Wednesday, December 1, 2010. The Stupidest Bet Ever. So City Councilors Pat Casey and Ray Mitchell triumphantly turn in over 1,000 signatures to the Mayor because a local activist Stefani Koorey dared her to. So it was no longer just Pat and it doesn’t even seem like was just one day. She told the Herald she did it all on Monday but apparently was going around getting signatures the day before! What did this prove? Um that at least 1,000 people in a city of 90,000 want a casino. Big shock! Um that Pat di...

Fall River-tastic: Howie Carr, Calling it like it is.
http://speakupfallriver.blogspot.com/2011/02/howie-carr-calling-it-like-it-is.html
Wednesday, February 16, 2011. Howie Carr, Calling it like it is. I was pleasantly surprised to see this accurate depiction of the life and times of Joan Menard in the Boston Herald today. Click Here. Bristol Community College had made great progress over the past years, but recent decisions make me question its path for the future. With all the political hirings lately, and pandering to special interests (offering blackjack dealing courses) it seems as though it could be the new 'probation department'.

Fall River-tastic: September 2010
http://speakupfallriver.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 16, 2010. I think Brian Bigelow should resign from his elected position on the Fall River City Council. I was hoping he would come to this decision on his own, but that is alot to expect from someone whose decision making skills are so lacking that soliciting a hooker, for a $20 blow job, seemed like a good idea. Friday, September 10, 2010. A few words from Candidate Rodrigues, protector of pigeons. Thank you to a wonderful blog reader for this very funny submission. OMG What a joke&#...
