Video
Six minutes of a wonderful look into what happens after the camera goes off, and the residents leave. Here you will see what the Queen really thinks of her subjects, not to mention the wonderful Brian Dicks showing his true colors for all to see. You even get quips from that dynamic leader, Tom "I am the head stooge" Petrowicz, and of course not to be left out Lurch, and the serial batterer/adulterer Ken "So what if I smacked her around" Gikas. Please share it with all of your friends, be sure they see it before tomorrows big hearing.
More Suppression of Free Speech by BOS...

We'll it appears the video won't be playing until the BOS "approves" the video. I put a call into Lt. Baxter and he now indcates to me that the tape needs approval from the BOS before he can play it.
What are the chances such an approval is going to happen? You've got it. ZERO! That fact speaks volumes about how the BOS feels about our right to an open media, and free speech.
Thank goodness we still have the Blog Millville looking out for your interests. If you know someone that hasn't seen it and wants to, encourage them to get to a location with an internet connection (Millville Library maybe) and view it at blogMillville.

Arrogent, Cruel, Crass...And Caught.
Submitted by ptymps on April 20, 2006 - 09:44.
How amazing it was to see this board in their element. No written words can do justice to the crassness, arrogance, patronizing, and purely childish behavior exhibited by this board on Tuesday night, following the town meeting. If I had to describe the transformation of the demeanor of the board that took place once the “natives” left the building, I would say it was like watching Dr. Jeckle & Mr. Hyde. They transformed from what would appear to be very professional, politically correct, adults into gossiping, giddy, vindictive little school children in a matter of just sixty seconds. And when Dicks ever referred to Mrs. McCutcheon as “Queen-B”, I almost lost my pretzels and beer.
As for Mr. Dicks. I would be very concerned about the possibility that the Massachusetts Housing Commission is made aware of your tactics to skirt the state laws on eviction practices. I’m sure paying off the tenants with $500 bribes is not considered “legal practice”. Your comment about “we’ll give him his raise”—referring to the 2.5% increase due the Chief as a result of the new police contract—“and then we’ll farm his job out tomorrow—lol” was especially illuminating to the public.
Finally, to all the BOS members. I agree soundly with Mr. Thout’s letter to the editor that ran in the paper along with the call article by Russ Olivo. Unfortunately, I also believe that you’re so arrogant, that you simply don’t care what any of the “natives” think, and that this colossal blunder on your part, will not even register on your guiltometer. Good for you. You don’t need these people anyway. Be careful however, because your actions this week may very well come back to bite you when the State Supreme Court gets a look at this tape. Then, my honorable servants, it will be you who shall be judged. I can see his ruling now and I quote, “Be certain, the devil has a special place for people such as you. It’s called the “VIP” room, and you’re all likely to have front row seats.”

Remember folks, the only way you can realistically stop this nonsense is to VOTE! even if the recall doesn't go through, vote, vote, vote for a viable candidate to help Millville get out of this mess.

Ye Have Little Faith My Friend...

The recall is very much alive and gaining momentum by the day. Please refer to Recall Status for updates on the status. The recall will go through if the Chief is fired, that's for certain. I do agree with you however, that we'll still need to use the power of our VOTE to change the complexion of the board in the future.
