interesting how there has been no stories about campaign finance reports, although I heard as of yesterday at noon, boucher and martelle still had not filed their reports with the city clerk, despite the fact they were due 8 days before the election....(sept. 19)
Editor: Actually, it's an interesting story. Why don't you follow up on it, Jason? We encourage citizen journalism as long as its done fairly and objectively and you are obviously interested in this. I Agree (2) - I Disagree (0)
Jason, lets hang them....no better yet, hang all their supporters as well, and let the city confiscate all their property......dont you have anything better to worry about.
the whole aspect of the money gathering is fine but we need worry more and with vigorous attention to the status of our city, as a community as a whole ...needlessly we watch with whining voices and opinions. it doesn't help and will never amount to the attention this beloved city deserves and needs. our city is slowly and painfully collapsing....painful , unfair and truly not the actions of our fellow countrymen that began this "slab" city so many moons ago.
The cities of Pittsfield and North Adams will hold municipal elections for mayor, city council and school committee in 2015
