Mayor Leads By Example, DPW Answers The Call

     "The Fact of The Matter" would like to thank the Westfield DPW workers that worked through the night to clear Westfield's local streets of the snow that fell last night.  Regardless of the amount of snow, they are to be commended.
    
     While driving around town, there were sightings of what we believe to be Mayor Skibitsky assisting the DPW in their snow removal efforts.  We are unsure though, the person could be a look-a-like.  If it is the Mayor, we now understand why he stood us up at Starbucks this morning.  All is forgiven.

  Once again, if it is the Mayor, we here at "The Fact of The Matter" would like to take this opportunity to thank him for "pitching in" and helping out.



    

     Another "The Fact of The Matter" reader snapped a photo of what appears to be the Mayor putting the "Ski" in Skibitsky.  If so, he deserved the day off.

  1. I'm not sure I get this?

    I have enjoyed the blog so far but I'm having a hard time drawing the line between you goofing off and something that matters to me as a tax payer? Now I question if the town has this star trac like hand scanner in the first place. You seem to like to mix fiction into your blog which carries the title FACT. That seems odd to this reader.

    The town did a fine job. You should leave it at that. I also doubt you'll publish this.

  2. Your Comment is neither slanderous nor vulgar in content so therefore it was published. Constructive criticism is always welcome.

    The fact is this satirical posting pokes fun at the Mayor as a result of earlier quotes by him with regards to excuses given as to why the town did such a poor job plowing local streets and municipal parking lots after the snow storm on December 26th-27th. You can read about these excuses in previous blogs.

    The town does have the "Star Trek" (I believe that is what you meant to spell) like hand scanner. A memo from the police chief was previously posted on this blog site.

    Go to..... http://07090.blogspot.com/2010/12/westfield-police-chief-parizeau-issues.html to view the memo from Police Chief Parizeau.

    It is not our purpose to confuse our readers with what is fact and what is fiction.

    However, when the Mayor uses fiction as fact, such as the reasons for the poor snow plowing on Dec. 26th and 27th, we responded with some fiction of our own. At least you can tell that ours is fiction.

    This "Fact of The Matter" topic posted by us, included some fiction but also included the fact that the DPW did a much better job plowing the local roads after this last snowstorm.

    We apologize for the confusion.

  4. DPW great job. Do u think the mayor knows about this long haired guy that works for the DPW that I've seen just diving around in circles. I noticed this guy one day and followed him for about an hour and no work was done. Is this how we spend our tax money.
