It's very frustrating to watch. I don't always agree with all of his conclusions, but he has been doing a ton of research and I still hold out hope that he will be a good addition to the council. I just hope he can get that interrupting under control. 🤞

@hampmunicipaldrama.bsky.social Perhaps some Marianne-stan t-shirts are needed? Front, back, and detail view of back. ;-)

Is it just me or has every CC meeting since the election been an escalation in tension and disruption? Wild. Really hoping we can start fresh in the new year.

Orientation?!? So sinister. How dare she help new councilors learn about municipal governance!

I had to check immediately to see if that was bananas enough to bring you out of semi-retirement for a recap. 😲

Oh no! Whatever will we do without our “representation”??

Looks like she’s deleted the entire post now

I always wonder what the supposed nefarious reason is behind these alleged deeds. What was the evil plot supposed to achieve? I never see any explanation for that.

Wow. Just checked on that thread and it has grown and gotten much worse. Ace is dishing out great points against some very nasty attacks though. 💪

Clearly that graphic design budget ran out…

Oh you did get a screen grab of that!! Amazing. I’ll dig. 🙌

I recall some dark insinuation by W3C that the mayor was engaged in back room dealing or something with a developer in Boston for a luxury condo situation. She was def implying corruption. There are so many of these! I wish we had a list (and a screen grab).

I wish we had a list of the conspiracy theories and that have been floated to date that we can actively disprove or show are actually just a function of governmental rules. One example is the whispers that the mayor was in talks with a Boston developer for the Hall of Deeds dev - clearly not true.

Worst case, they are intentionally sowing confusion over the spelling of the name of a write in candidate.

I’ve been enjoying this one in the context of all the posts stating that the only reason he didn’t get the SOS endorsement was that he didn’t want it.

It just keeps getting worse! Which page did this happen on? I’d like to go throw some support behind the poster who called her out.

And that insinuation that $16 mil of the main street redesign cash has been redirected to Holyoke? I have not heard that one before. I wonder if anyone knows where that’s coming from…

But your recaps are the best thing on bluesky!
