Road Rage

I've been winding around the streets of Bangor lately and I gotta say, look the hell out. The roads are in the worst shape I've ever seen. The City is planning on rebuilding Hammond Street soon, thank the lord for that. The road is in terrible shape. The amount of money being spent on auto repairs due to the lack of maintenance on the Bangor roads would scare the life out of you. Just stop into Hammond St. Citgo and ask Bob about it. No cash for road repairs, but we cant throw enough down the drain on stupid shit.....Oh I don't know, plenty for a study of the Fire Dept. to mention one. No savings outlined in that $25k report. Maybe another arena marketing study...sure, why the hell not, we're flush with dough, or you'd think that was the case. I'm glad Dave Neally spoke up concerning the School budget. What part of NO INCREASE don't you assholes understand? We're cutting MDEA agents, but adding OT for Bangor PD to set up seat belt traffic stops? You gotta be freaking kidding me. Do we need to get the crackhead off the street or the traffic violators? WTF? Our priorities are wacked. Another $25k report is due this week on how the Police Dept. can be more efficient. I could have saved the City the money and took that soft pitch. Fire Chief Gastia, plain and simple. He's an idiot that's turning Bangor into a police state. Maybe if he could keep an eye on the oxy-freaks and transient low life's around town, and stop the bullshit daily speed trap on Union Street, we'd all be safer. But low life's don't pay taxes, and your ticket dollars boost his revenue stream. So Joe Douchebag gets a free pass, and Johnny Property-Owner-Taxpayer pays double. Thanks Chief, your the best.





Glad the arena went thru. I find it humorous that there were Arena Yes signs all over Brewer. Didn't we ask them to toss in a few bucks and they laughed? Or the endorsement of the project by the Penobscot County Sheriffs Dept. , just a slight conflict of interest, not to mention incredibly hypocritical seeing as you folks turned Bangor down as well. I'd like to see non-residents pay a surcharge to enter the new facility, similar to how the Municipal golf course operates. Risk and reward baby...



Till next time....stay off my lawn.....
