Please be advised that Governor Deval L. Patrick has ordered that the United States flag and the Commonwealth flag be lowered to half-staff at all state buildings from sunrise until sunset on Tuesday, September 30, 2014, in honor of Maj. Michael J. Donahue, U.S. Army, of Columbus, OH who was killed in action on September 16, 2014 in Kabul, Afghanistan. This gubernatorial order applies to: 1. The main or administration building of each public institution of the Commonwealth, e.g. town and city halls. 2. Other state-owned or state-controlled buildings. 3. All state military installations.
Yes. Every day I drive by the hole in the ground at the corner of Ashley and Cross street where there used to be a school building. You know what they outta do… evidently it’s going to be a while for these clowns in city hall to get this straightened out. What tHey could do is fill it back in and then put a nice statue up of Mayor Knapik and some of the school people who got in this mess in the first place. I know you’re not going to put this in the paper, but it’s my thinking. Thank you.
Good evening Pulseline, and how is everybody doing? I’d like to know if there is any laws against panhandling in the city and I’d like to know about the elderly gentleman that sits and panhandles all day on the bench out there when I walk my dog by it. It’s pretty disgusting. This same caller left another, very similar, message a few weeks ago that we aired on our radio show when we had Westfield Police Captain Mike McCabe on. McCabe indicated that panhandling is not against the law but incidents like this do tend to detract from the city and he urged residents to contact the police if they feel threatened.
