Rumbo welcomes columnist Ellen Bahan upon her return to our pages.
The next two years promise to be busy now that William Manzi will
be sworn in as mayor of Methuen . He will be providing lots of
material for her to pursue. In fact, he has not even taken charge
and things are happening.
Last week, it was announced that the $1.5 million bridge will
finally be built behind his package store facilitating access to
the businesses along Hampshire Street directly from the apartment
building on the other side of the falls over the Spicket River .
When Ellen wrote about it, Mr. Manzi went on WCCM’s Hot Line show
calling us liars. We requested the drawing from the Highway
Commissioner’s office in Boston and when they were published, Mr.
Manzi laughed on the radio again insisting that they seemed to
have been drawn by a first grader. We later found out that they
were drafted by Methuen City Hall staff and recently, during the
campaign trail, he called her a liar again on that issue.
He tried to hurt our reputation, but for almost ten years we, at
Rumbo, pride ourselves of sticking to the truth. We shall continue
to do just that. Promise.
Last week’s announcement proves that Methuenites elected a liar
for Mayor. |
