Yes, I was just wondering the paving the roads that were supposed to be done around downtown area like Franklin Street and several more there that was on the time to get done. I’m assuming that the paving plant must be closed now with the weather changing and the temperatures but they should have got that done like they had said, especially Franklin Street. I knew it wouldn’t get done because once Knapik got back in he’s all set now for a couple more years so maybe next year or the year after they’ll get it done. Each of the roads named needed utility upgrades and to overlay them again would simply be a waste of money so the decision was made to upgrade the utilities first then pave later. The work done on Franklin was needed as a temporary measure, as the gas line replacement project and associated work left the east bound lane of Franklin in terrible condition.
Yeah, good morning PulseLine! Over here on the north side Councilman Keefe was reelected and telling everybody what he did for the city of Westfield and everything. I like that. Ask him what has he done for his ward. He lives just a bit up the road from the pumping station at the corner of Force Avenue and Prospect Street where there must be ten truckloads of leaves all over the place blowing into people’s yards. People are even blowing the leaves out in the street on Reservoir Avenue, getting them out of the yard from where they’ve blown in from the pumping station. You mean to say he can’t see that? You try to get a hold of him, you can’t get a hold of him to tell him anything. Like I said, I’d like to have him publish in the paper what he’s done for his ward. Have a good day.
The article Father pleads guilty to assaulting his son: a six-year-old. And what does he get? Two years probation. He would have gotten more if he had done that to a dog. This is a sad situation. I don’t mean to say that abusing a dog is all right but make the comparison.
One of my pet peeves in the city of Westfield is sending fire apparatus, now its ambulances, to people who have locked themselves out of their car. I cannot believe that the Westfield News wouldn’t make a comment about this when I’ve called in before. Do you think it’s economically viable to send a fire truck with two men on it to unlock somebody’s car? How about handing them a AAA application? Unbelievable! Now an ambulance sent to unlock people’s vehicles. Where’s the sense in this? When it comes time for a new vehicle I’m sure we’ll bond for a fire apparatus so we can do lockouts. Unreal! And while I’m at a stuttering rant, I can’t even get a clear conscious thought out of my squash I cannot believe we’re spending $175,000 of Community Investment Act money on a whip building. What are we going to do with that? Make cat-o-nine-tails? Unbelievable. And I’m sure at that whip building they’ll be lining up outside to get in when it’s a museum just like the old Chinese restaurants Sue’s to eat some pork fried rice. And there’s money for that whip building and Ken Frazer, the poor bastard, he has to feed those stray dogs sawdust!
