1. General, personal knowledge.
We have gotten the usual con game from the Cambridge Machine. This time from Person 3.
Now they are denying that Cambridge had anything to do with the environmental outrage and heartless animal abuse at Magazine Beach.
I have posted a quote from Kathy Podgers stating that she was actively involved in fighting Cambridge’s outrage at Magazine Beach.
I have gone back through the City Clerk’s on line records and pulled out a few reports from the Cambridge City Manager. The good on line records only date back to May 2003. Hard copies can be obtained way back if you go through the bother.
The reality is that I was present for the key vote in the last meeting of 1999, in which the Cambridge City Council voted to spend about $1.5 million on environmental destruction and heartless animal abuse at the Magazine Beach playing fields in exchange for control of use of the Magazine Beach playing fields.
The vote was unanimous. One of the destructive people voting for the environmental destruction and heartless animal abuse currently anchors news at New England Cable News. I am a strong watcher of New England Cable News, but I cannot stomach his false impression of sainthood. I do not watch him.
In our discussions in 1999, he repeatedly jerked tears about how much his kids loved the Charles River White Geese. I have no knowledge if he informed his kids of his paying for heartless abuse of the Charles River White Geese.
The following are copied from the City Clerk’s records since May 2003. I probably missed a lot. Relevant links are provided.
2. City Manager report, October 17, 2012.
September 17, 2007
To the Honorable, the City Council:
In response to Awaiting Report Item Number 07-95, regarding a report on the timeline for refurbishment of Magazine Beach, please be advised of the following:
We were informed on September 11, 2007 by Richard Corsi from the DCR that the bid package for Magazine Beach was delayed once again, due to a change in the location of the control box for the irrigation system, which required further review and revisions to the drawings. He anticipates that the bid documents will be ready to send out for bids in mid-October of 2007. This latest delay will result in a construction delay, thus the field will not be renovated in time for next year’s Little League season. No projected completion date was provided.
Very truly yours,
Robert W. Healy
City Manager
