BLACKOUT!

WSAR is in my opinion in deep trouble. Keri Rodrigues is no dope by any stretch of the imagination and surely she documented and has information and documents to back up her side of the story. What is amazing to me is that WSAR loves to air everyones dirty laundry and debate every particle of [...]

Rip Van Correia

Seems like our mayor spent so much time in Boston kissing up to one speaker of the house after another that he failed to notice what went on in his own city.  I thought you had to know what was going on in your community to represent it.  But then again, what do I know [...]

Stormwater Runoff Fees Pass the Council to the Mayor’s Delight!

You could almost hear the giddyness in his voice.  Mayor Correia had gotten the City Council to pass a tax (oops, I mean fee) for stormwater.  The strange part about it is he proclaimed today on WSAR that people who own businesses don’t use toilets or wash their hands.  That’s right folks, IFR heard it [...]

Unusual Suspects: A Space Odyssey

When last we left the unusual suspects Captain Mike had floated down from Swansea right into a pot of gold and Cathy Ann had managed to ride her lottery win into financial solvency. The two sat feeding sea gulls, sipping margaritas, and talking about run off fees for barges at the Captain’s floating restaurant/barge/home when [...]

Correia and his Political Counsel

IFR is not at all surprised that Mayor Correia wants to increase the salary of HIS corporation counsel Arthur Frank.  After all Mr. Frank ONLY MAKES 48,500 dollars annually plus a huge benefits package that’s not included in that number. 
How could a full time employee that is the head of a corporation’s legal department only make [...]

Keri Rodrigues Resigns from WSAR

A sad day for Fall River radio with the resignation of Keri Rodrigues from the lineup of WSAR.  Her voice was a beacon of light that shined through what is otherwise a radio station that offers very little to the public.  Keri was brave enough to stand-up and speak out on issues that were important [...]

Unemployment Rate UP - Councilors Ignore DIRECT WARNING

You know, I have to hand it to Councilors Hague, Camara, and Pelletier for seeing the wisdom in working with businesses throughout Fall River to PHASE IN the sewer run-off fees.
The other Six Councilors could not recognize the fact that increased fees drive up the cost of doing business in Fall River and those fees [...]

Take the TV’s, Take the Radios, We’ve Still Got the Internet!

“Correia told his department heads at a morning meeting.  TVs, radios, newspapers and magazines would be gone from offices pronto, he said.”

You can take the TVs, and everything else… but you can’t take the computer!  Mr. Mayor, thank you… the local blogging community is happy to have a monopoly on government employees.  Now that the [...]

How to NOT Get Thrown Under The Bus

Former CDA Director Robert Laughlin made a hasty get away from his post, leaving a host of unanswered questions and some disturbing rumors.   Could it be (as alleged by some) that the intrepid coordinator of the Correia transition team was copping feels and making inappropriate remarks to the female workers at government center?
That’s what I [...]

CA Ca Ca *** CA Cathy Ann Hold Bobby’s Ha Ha Hand!

Hello fellow citizens! I’ve been away on a safari hunting for the elusive lost “City of Democracy.”  I didn’t find it so I had to come back to the “City of Fees”.  I got up to speed reading my old friend Publius, and the Herald News.  I also took some antacids and watched reruns of [...]
