MUDDY WATER
WMRC's Ed Thompson reported this morning that Tussie Kimball has offered his land and building on Providence road to the town for a fire station. Nice timing. So now we will spend another bag load of money to review this new site.
Tussie, where were you 5 years ago? Why now on the day the PSBC votes on the Grey building?
We smell a rat here. Unfortunatly she is out of town this evening. Stay tuned!

20 Ceiling tiles = Catastrophe??
We have blogged here about the need for new public safety facilities. We feel that the Gray property is a huge step in the right direction and have complimented the PSBC for their indefatigable efforts to present a viable solution to Mendon’s infrastructure woes.
BUT…………
What is all this BS about a few ceiling tiles falling down in the fire station? We get statewide press for this story? Yeah right. The Chief should have quashed this incident before it ever got any legs in the media. IT IS A NON-STORY unless the Chief has no control (we have seen this before) over his department(s).
This is an embarrassment to the town. The Chief, Sharon Cutler and Lawney Tinio should have known better than to gush to the press. What the hell are they thinking?
In the old days when the whores of the media came sniffing around after they heard something juicy on the scanner Chief Grady would tell them to pack up their stuff and hit the road. They hated him. The way it should be.
Mendon doesn’t need it’s laundry aired on channel 5 so they can look for stains. Our elected officials and our highest paid employees should know that. Shame on all of them, they do not help their cause or the cause of public service in our community.

Upton parents push for joint Town Meeting
UPDATE: 10/4/06
Read the article the today’s Milford Daily News Here
Upton's crowd of crybabies were out in force last night. They want what they want, when they want it and screw anyone who has a different opinion. They will dismantle the school district over $180,000. Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.
Wahhhh. Get a life.
Who raised this entitlement generation anyway?
They want a joint town meeting so they can get Mendon residents in a room and insult them and then FORCE them to pay for their dream school. Will the school committee cave in to this suicidal request? There are only a few thick skins on that committee. All it will take is one weak member from Mendon and we will have our own version of the Hatfields and McCoys. Stay tuned.
The new Super Duper isn’t helping much. He panders to the spoiled brat parents and gets them all worked up. They actually believe that their children are forced to use 30-year-old textbooks. This Fernandes guy is going to be a huge problem.
Hats off to Jay Byer and Judy Leonelli for attempting to point out the obvious but it probably fell on deaf ears. They WANT WHAT THEY WANT> Whaaaaaa.

On a Personal Note...
In the interest of somewhat full disclosure we will tell you that we author another blog on national and international issues. Yes it is an anonymous blog and no we do not use the HG handle.
That endeavor requires a fair amount time. Although the issues facing our community are serious and affect all of our lives, events and trends in the world at large will in time have a greater effect on all of us living here in Mendon than our local issues.
We try to keep up with both of our blogs but with Riff Raff coming on line and Kevin Rudden going into his second year we feel that there is a lot of exposure to Mendon issues. We are not going away (apologies to Mendon Tao and the various anonymous crazies who dislike us) but we will be inserting some of the broader issues that we are passionate about.
If you have an issue with that we are sure you will let us know. In any event here are some of the hot buttons from HG’s other blog.
-----------------------------
Illegal Immigration: 17% of the population of Mexico now lives in the US; half of them are here illegally. They broke into our country and they intend to occupy it. There will be no melting pot with these people.
Government Corruption: It is rampant on the state and federal level and is working it’s way down to the local level. Neither political party is innocent; in fact there is very little difference between them. They are both on the take at your expense like never before.
Political Correctness: This social/legal movement is crippling the United States. It is used by those who would do us harm to keep us from making common sense decisions. For example, profiling. If it smells like a skunk, keep your eye on it.
Secular Nation: The manic legal obsession with separation of church and state only serves to create a government established “church of secularism”, exactly what the Founders were afraid of and what the First Amendment to the US Constitution prohibits.
-----------------------------
If anyone would like to discuss any of these issues and how they relate to Mendon, have at it. If you would like the dialog to stay Mendon only we will try to respect that but be warned, there are 800-pound gorillas in the countryside and they don’t care where you live.

"Katie, bar the door"
It was voted down by 37 votes.
September 11, 2006 11:33 PM
Just when you thought it was safe to count your money. The Mendon Upton Regional School District and their minions will lob another override at the taxpayers of Mendon on Monday.
Empowered (or intimidated) by Edu-crats, pandering politicians and special interest groups of all ilks’, they will attempt to wear down the voters of Mendon with another of their never ending demands for money.
This is simply the arrogance of a government we created to educate or children. This is not about the money. This override is for bragging rights within the self-anointed circle of “educators” that they shook us down for cash after we said no.
Truth is, schools were better educators 40 years ago than they are now. For example, the SAT tests have been dumbed down twice in the last 15 years to make the numbers look better.
Remember this: Government’s first mission is to protect it’s cash flow and make itself bigger. The Pentagon brought you the $900 toilet seat. Public Education has handed you the “Administration”. We’ll be voting no.
