How strange was this years Town Meeting?
1. Moderator blurts out "you just cant yell shit out"
2. Moderator prohibits use of word "crappy"
3. Moderator hates on the 'resolution against hatred'
4. Belskis files improper paperwork on GIS / 40B study
5. Moderator belittles recovering alcoholic
6. Greeley yells at Loretti
7. McCabe yells at Moderator
8. Police get new custodian because they got a new roof
9. LaCourt questions use of public safety overtime - she probably doesnt want them to chase down Beer Bongers (Google it)
10. Selectman Dunn cant count to 1 when tabulating standing voters
11. No one ever explained why $25,000 was needed in addition to $22,000 for football helmets - maybe girls soccer should get the helmets since they were number 2 on the head bangers ball list
12. Schlichtman wants more meter maids because he cant buy chocolate crosissants at Quebrada in the morning - Police Chief says no to more meter maids because he doesnt eat chocolate crosissants
13. Landscapers either take 5 minutes or 5 hours to clean a lawn - in either case the friggin leaf blowers were blown away
14. $6 million will be spent to repair $40,000 in damage to East Arlington sidewalks on Mass Ave - give me $1,000 for paint and I will personally fix all the remaining issues on Mass Ave in East Arlington - (just paint a median down the middle of the road - so friggin easy to fix)
15. Moderator rules that changing $20,000 to $40,000 is "out of scope", yet allows 20 minutes of debate on some totally vague 1 line resolution pertaining to the politically ill
16. Minuteman rep says that roof could fall in any day at Minuteman Technical High School in Lexington
17. New building inspector in Lexington immediately shut down Minuteman tech on his first day on the job (maybe - something like that)
18. McKenny wants Uncle Sam to share part of the $20,000 - my Warrant already shows Uncle Sam listed
19. Call for more dog catchers - no mention of the fact that the present Dog Catcher probably catches more Zs than anything - no really - there are very few animal calls that come over the scanner radio - very few - maybe because they told him to stay off the police radio and use the cellphone - but in any case, I never see stray dogs out wandering the streets - racoons are in check - squireels are in check - geese are in check - wild turkeys (2 legged kind) are in check
