Backroom Dealing in the Land Use Office

The Planning Board will be discussing and “rendering” a decision in the matter of a “Private Club” at P Squares, Monday, March 19 at 7 pm.  The meeting has been publicly posted, but please note that no one but the Planning Board will be allowed to discuss the matter.

 Mr. & Mrs. John Pasquerelli withdrew their application last month, but has since asked the Board to withdraw their withdrawal and render a decision.  What do you bet, they were told that they were too hasty and should have been patient and let Margaret & Dean work their magic on the board, before storming out of the meeting?  The public hearing had already been closed, but the Chairman “tabled” the matter after John & Regina stormed out in anger. 

 According to the Fire Chief, Barry Kellom, they are required by law to install a sprinkler & emergency system through out the entire building.  The Pasquerellis did not like this demand!  They also felt that it was not necessary to have engineering plans.  When Mr. Kellom was asked to address the issue of the illegal firepit in the back yard, he refused to respond.

 Just goes to show, it’s not what you know, but who you know.   It's another one of Margaret’s “backroom deals”.

Are you kidding me? He withdrew his application and Beaman and Sharra decided to table the matter. Are they serious? Once he withdrew it was out of their hands. That he now has changed his mind is just too bad, he needs to start all over with a new public hearing. Jeez no wonder this town gets sued all the time. I was told that he could not do this legally anyways, according to someone who was at the last meeting. He is required by law to have an established club with officers for at least one year before he can petition for a private club. Looks like the town will be back in court again on our dime thanks to the 3 stooges.
As for Kellom, he just does what he's told so he can keep his cushy job, he's another appointee that needs to go so we can get someone better qualified who will enforce the regulations not look the other way.

you gotta be kidding said...

So now what are they trying to pull? Like the poster above, I agree, once he walked away the board has no authority or right to continue with his application. C'mon we all know what type of person John is, just jhow many times does the police have to go out to his store on a weekly basis now? Get real Margaret, you and Dean are way wrong on this one. Hell even I would file a lawsuit.

We need jobs for our drop outs. Let them go do some dancin on the pole so they can pay for their cigarettes and lottery tickets. Get off your high horse. Who cares if he has a private club. The more business the better.

And you need a lobotomy and something to do in your spare time. Your attempt at being humorous shows your ignorance and just how immature you are.

Too many damn fools in this town now, not a lick of sense in most.

They don't intend to hire anyone. This is not a business that will create jobs. Only add more job security to our police force and create another potential position for enforcement.

I use to think that Margaret wasn't getting a fair shake by some in ton, that too many people were complaining about her and how she manipulates others; but not any more. After seeing her in action at planning board meetings and how she treats people and then witnessing her conduct at the budget committee meetings and hearings I have no doubts any more just how mean and vindictive she can be when she feels she's not getting her way. It is sadly time for her to go, she has become a detriment to our town and it's people.

They passed it! said...

Margaret Sharra, Dean Beaman, Larry Hill & Gus Ruth voted to allow The Pasquerelli's Private Club

Yes. More jobs for our town. You sanctimonious idiots... let the guy do what he wants with his business. What is the harm to you?

They should be ashamed of themselves. They should be wrapped around the pole not the dancers................... Oh well, another reason for Winchester to be the laughing stock of the Monadnock Region. What's next Margaret and Gus????

Stupidity reigns, the Fab 4 are back together again to ruin the town some more.

Did you actually expect any less from those four? After all he's been appointed to the ZBA by those other bozos so now he's officially one of them. Some day people in this town will elect the right people to these boards but by that time it will be too late to save whats left of this hell hole.

one irate neighbor said...

There are not going to be any jobs to be had. This will be just more trouble from someone who could care less about his neighbors, the law or doing things in a proper manner. He is already a nuisance to us with all the noise coming from what used to be a quiet country store. Now he keeps us up with loud music swearing and creaming all hours of the night.
Those people on the Planning Board are nutz and mark my words this is going to be a disaster.

Good move for JP said...

If JP is getting all the permits so he can sell it to someone else, this all falls into place now. The one thing it will do is increase our police dept. enough so they can get the union that they have been wanting.

That's the thing. He has no permits, has no engineers report, has no sprinkler system or sign off from the Fire Dept. and doesn't meet State requirements, can it be any plainer. This is a joke, an abomination and those responsible should be removed from their positions. Can't wait for all of the trouble to start.

How is this a back room deal when there was a public hearing and public votes taken. Too bad. If you dont like it move.

Public votes? What are you an idiot, there was NO PUBLIC VOTE YOU FOOL! You should move to a place where your ignorance doesn't show so much.

To the person constantly complaining about personal attacks on this blog: Until you put your name to your comments, we won't consider someone calling some anonymous person an idiot as a personal attack.
If you're offended, stop posting nonsense.

The only town board not under Tedford's control was the budget committee. I was informer today that is no longer the case. The new members voted in office banded together to demanded a meeting over chairman Brian Moser objection. You the voters allowed them to take control and now Brian Moser supporters are in a minority. By electing Tedford's hand picked choices like Beaman and Cole to the board will insure no budget cuts next year and your taxes will surely rise even more. There is no hope of holding the line and the corruption will prevail. Sherra will keep her job, the highway sup will continue to get kick backs. Good luck you suckers. You are what you eat!

Would the last one to leave town because of high taxes, please shut the lights out!
Idiots!!

Get over it. The majority have spoken. You remain the vocal minority despite your feeble attempts at putting up schmucks to run for office. Tell the truth, be vigilent, and maybe you will have some members of the public follow and actual vote. Continue along the lines of lies and deceipt, and this is what you get.

814 out of 2900 plus is NOT a majority fella/gal .. That 500 people still control the destiny of this town is appalling and a shame. Your so-called majority is made up of the very same town employees who have no sense of responsibility to us and incompetent, unqualified school employees who continue to hold our children back while they vote themselves raises though our children are failing. Stand proud with this group you fool you're one of them.

Need Some Preparation-H said...

This town is controlled by a few for the benefit of a few, and they do a darn good job of keeping power and crapping on the rest of us. I think there was a little turnaround this year, so just keep your eyes and ears open and report what you see. Sooner or later they will make mistakes that the town lawyer cant fix.

To get over it! The difference between genius and stupidity is.... stupidity has no limits.

One other note for you, When you pay your tax bill just remember this fact about the town's employees we support with our tax dollars.

When someone gets something for nothing, someone else gets nothing for something!

Underhanded BS said...

Talk about Backroom Dealing, check out the new budget committee. Wonder what road will be tared next.

Are you refering to Old Chesterfield Road or South Scofield Mountain Road? My bet would be on the latter...
