Good Morning PulseLine! There are SO many GOOD people in Westfield focused on the positive. I see them EVERY day. I consider myself blessed to be surrounded by them on a daily basis and would wish that for everyone in the community. You don’t have to look far to find the great things happening in Westfield. I am grateful to call Westfield my home and pledge to take a little time each day to e-mail a “Positive Pulseline Post”. To those of you who also call Westfield your home, feel free to also post why you live here and what makes your life great!! P.S. Kudos to the Westfield News who covers the good stuff in town in the paper and not just the sensational. We couldn’t agree with you more. Thank you for keeping the positive attitude and we look forward to your future e-mails!
Hello, my name is John and I’m calling about this ridiculous thing we got going in the May 6edition of The Westfield News: “Rail Trail Funds Diverted.” Mayor Knapik, first of all, should not be a mayor. I wouldn’t even consider him a custodian, not that custodians do bad but you know, spending all this money on bike trails and this other crap is what it is. Why isn’t this money put into our city roads? You know they travel all up and down Shaker Road, these big heavy-duty trucks. They’re beating up our roads. Once again, nobody enforces nothing, you know, and you guys want to spend all this money on this. You know, and Cressotti, whatever your name is, Engineer Cressotti – you ought to be let go, also. I’m telling you. You know, two or three years, you guys don’t know where the heck you’re going. This is absolutely ludicrous. You guys should all be let go and put new people in our city officials, in the office, and make things right because this is ridiculous, along with this pavilion. I mean, how much do taxpayers have to pay? We’re paying taxes on roads, OK, our city roadways and they’re not even fixed. Now we’re going to put money, granted money that the taxpayers have to go and pay for, on this bike trail? Do the bicyclists pay taxes on the road? Absolute not. Therefore, if they want the bike trail, tell them to pay for it. Why should us taxpayers be burdened with this issue? OK? You’re probably not going to issue this because don’t want to hear what I say, Mayor Knapik and the rest of the knuckleheads in town hall and the officials but I’ve vented my piece. PulseLine – my pulse is up, of course. We’ll have to deal with other mayors. Thank you. The Westfield News has reported numerous times how government funds can and can’t be used.
I know one caller recently complained of his experience at the retirement office. I think he’s going to be pleased going forward as, starting Monday, a new lady will be taking over as the assistant. She’s extremely knowledgeable and great at customer service. She practically ran the previous office she was in so, going-forward at least, when it comes to the retirement board, I think customers are going to have a great experience. We’re lucky to have this fine lady.
Yes, I know the roads in Westfield are bad. It’s been a tough winter. I understand that but I cannot figure out why, when the kids were out of school a week ago, that one of the worst roads, I think is heading up by South Middle School, by the post office. That short-length run in there is so bad. I usually like to go to the post office or Big Y. If I go around by the Green, then I make a right and come down that way. It’s too bad they didn’t hire like a contractor to put that road in because that was very heavily-traveled. And also I went up to, I believe it was Tuesday, Monday or Tuesday, I come back through Springdale Road. I never seen such a lousy pothole patching job in my life, the way they did that. It was sickening. I’ll never go up that road again until the whole thing is done. So, Knapik: get on the ball and let’s get some money and get these roads fixed. Thank you.
