Greetings from the Loomis Street Glacier! I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and thank you all for slowing down to say “Hi” on your way by. I’d also like to thank the City of Westfield for my new hat, orange is a good color on me.
It was a surprise to read Dan Moriarty’s January 6 story regarding the election of the City Council President. How informative to learn that the choice had been made hours before the election! Thank you Dan for enlightening us as to the final vote. Your “inside scoop” saved us all a lot of time. One question however, exactly what Open Meeting Laws were broken during the “planning process” of the vote for our new President? Mr. Dondley, here you go! and it is a good question. We assume buttonholing happens at all levels of government.
Hi! I was just wondering if anybody out there is having problems with mail getting lost. I know three people: one who lost her tax payment; another one, she lost a $50 gift certificate that she had mailed to her sister; and the third one, who happens to be my daughter, lost her electric and telephone. So, what is going on down at the post office? And it can’t be that they’re taking it out of the box because my daughter has a locked mailbox. So, I’m just wondering if anybody else is having the same problem on having money sent out. One’s a check and, of course, you have to make a stop payment which costs extra money.
Hi! I was at the Riverbend at Southampton Road and I saw a robin, my first robin of the year. How come he’s up here at this time of the year? Are we going to get an early spring? Hahahaha. Thank you. Bye.
Hi! According to the paper here, just in round figures, close to a quarter of the people in Westfield are over the age of 60. I think this is a good wake up call for the mayor and city council, if they’re trying to do things to help the elderly, to keep trying to lower taxes. This would help the elderly in an extreme way. Thank you.
