In recent weeks, Westfield Mayor Andy Skibitsky has ignored the complaints of residents regarding the installation of the “Hawk” pedestrian signal on Central Ave. at the cul-de-sac’d intersection of Cambridge Rd.
Armed with a petition signed by residents from the immediate area of the new pedestrian signal, residents have demanded the relocation of the light. The original proposed location for the pedestrian signal was at the intersection of Central Ave. and Clover St.
After answering some of the questions posed by residents during previous Town Council meetings, Mayor Skibitsky has gone silent recently and appears to have orchestrated the silence of other council members.
In recent weeks, Councilwoman Vicki Kimmins and Councilman Dave Haas have challenged Mayor Skibitsky to produce Westfield’s traffic safety engineering consultant Gordon Meth at a town council meeting. This request was made so that the “expert” can answer further questions, regarding the installation of the “Hawk” pedestrian signal, unanswered by Mayor Skibitsky and other town council members.
Mayor Skibitsky insists that he does not want to spend any money paying for Mr. Meth’s appearance. The Fact of The Matter asks: Mayor Skibitsky, what are you afraid of? Might Mr. Meth reveal that which you don’t want the residents to know?
The Fact of The Matter applauds the efforts of town council members Kimmins and Haas for representing the taxpayers of Westfield in their quest for the truth. With their leadership, transparency in Westfield government might prevail.
Mayor Skibitsky might succeed in Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, but as far as Westfield is concerned, not everyone is a puppet in the Mayor’s Land of Make Believe.

You have this comic all wrong..... the hands of the councilmen should be going the other way, they should be up the Mayors rear end just like there heads are! This is not a puppet parade in this town it is a rear end kissing parade! They are all afraid to do anything without asking the ALL AND POWERFUL OZ! It is a joke, i live in Forest Gumps ward and i cant get an honest answer from him on anything! God forbid he back up a tax paying citizen of his ward! They are all just a bunch of dead weights.... Some live off there parents GOOD name that they are now desecrating (Marc your dad is rolling over in his grave right now). Gump thinks by going along with the "good ole boys" he is going to get somewhere in politics, and he doesnt realize how badly he is being played! The other guy i dont know, but i do have a word of advise for him.... You look like a decent guy, get out while you can the fire has been started & the WHOLE building is a cmon down! You dont want to be a rear end kisser.... look at the BOE the ones with a half a brain are jumping ship while they still can to save themselves and there self-respect.

ReplyDeleteSpeaking of a cast of Jokers Parizeau, Wayman and Rowe left this morning for Vermont together...talk about a puppet show.....ROWE wash your hands when your done and rinse too
ReplyDeleteThe fact of the matter is the truth has no agenda.
ReplyDeleteThe three Stoogers left for VT????? Which town vehicle did they take. Amazing that the commander of the ESU and two of his ranking officer can pack up and leave the state. However two patrolman can't get the same vacation time in order to take vaction together. Rank has its privileges. So much for leading by example. Guess they have to get their stories straight for the investigations going on.
ReplyDeleteHey wait a minute ..... i thought the CAPTIAN had to have his car home with him just in case he needs to run out to a police EMERGENCY??? WHAT A JOKE..... BUT WE ALL KEEP PAYING OUR TAXES and going along with it instead of opening our mouths..... I say that because if i didnt have a business here in town my mouth would be WIDE OPEN & just like the TFOTM i would be all up in everyones S*** about how this town is run..... but my hands or should i say my mouth is tied! I applaud you GREGG, does someone wanna buy my business so i can retire & dedicate my life to cleaning this town up?
ReplyDeleteAre you saying you're afraid of retaliation by our illustrious Mayor and council? Funny because they so vehemently denied ever using those sort of tactics when I suggested that residents in town were actually afraid to voice their opinions because of the possibility of retaliation. So if something happens to me I guess everyone will know who dun'it!
ReplyDeletenot physical of course! You know how BS starts at a dinner party and then all of a sudden my business name is MUD... Dont worry though because i dont mind working behind the scenes and doing what i need too!
ReplyDeleteDo you know what's really scary about the three Amigos being in Vt together, it leaves Aucther in charge. My heart goes out to the PD and the town.
