One of the more amusing things in the Scream Team’s (borrowed from its captain State Senator Cynthia Creem’s campaign slogan) TAB tirade is their point that Deb will rise to the defense of town administrators against the awful print media.
Now see, that’s a problem. A selectman’s job is to provide oversight of town government; but [...]
The Globe’s Matt Viser has a story in today’s edition on Deb Goldberg’s $2 million campaign of cynical manipulation (see the Goldberg Follies).
According to Viser:
“(Worcester Mayor) Tim Murray…went on the offensive yesterday and accused Goldberg of trying to buy the race.”
Sorry Mr. Mayor, but the race has already been bought. The question is why [...]
I’ve not seen it yet, (update below) but an onbrookline.com reader reports that Deb Goldberg has a new ad up with Brookline leaders testifying to her local credentials. This latest sideshow reportedly features current Selectman’s Chair Bobby Allen and former Brookline School Committee Chair Marcia Heist.
Judging from that cast, I imagine that the spot is [...]
I always enjoy speaking to the Brooklne Town Meeting Member’s Association, and tonight was especially rewarding. As much as I beat up on town meeting, these are good people who want to make a difference.
I also enjoyed seeing town meeting member and Economic Development Advisory Board member Paul Saner doing the official town dance [...]
From yesterday’s Taunton Gazette (via the Goldberg Campaign):
“During her tenure as a selectwoman in Brookline, a community of nearly 60,000, Goldberg was responsible for a $190 million budget. She said she avoided layoffs and property tax overrides while adding [...]
Deb Goldberg, spending $2 million of her own money to convince Massachusetts voters she is Atlas to our spinning orb of Brookline, is a no-show for the September 17th Lieutenant Governor’s candidate debate sponsored by the Massachusetts Democratic Party. Her campaign, according to the Globe, says she has a scheduling conflict.
This is how it [...]
I’ll be speaking - on “Brookline’s Development Culture” - before the Town Meeting Member’s Association this Monday night at 7 PM in the Martin Luther King Room at Brookline High School.
I understand some members are urging a boycott of the session on their Internet message board. Oh, that’ll teach me. How will I endure [...]
It may be too soon to declare that a wave of political transcendentalism has flooded Brookline, but the TAB’s endorsement of Andrea Silbert in the Massachusetts Lieutenant Governor’s race is something of a watermark.
It’s always an event when a hometown newspaper fails to endorse a local political figure, as did the TAB by rejecting the [...]
In the latest leg of Deb Goldberg’s $2 million odyssey to gain an office (Mass. Lt. Governor) that has no real power, the former Chair of the Brookline Board of Selectmen offers platitudes on health care costs. This is done with a new TV spot called “Through the Roof.”
Thing is, I’ve been through the [...]
The spin on the settlement agreement in the recent citizen-initiated lawsuit over the Boston Archdiocese’s and Town of Brookline’s St. Aidan’s housing development is that the suit was frivolous.
“(Going to court was) outrageous,” said Selectman Nancy Daly, Brookline’s elitist-in-chief. “A shame,” said the ever-browbeating selectman’s chair Bobby Allen. But in looking over the [...]
I’ve heard from more than a few supporters of Deb Goldberg who are quick to say that the claims made in her advertising are “just issues of semantics.” They’re wrong.
On the firefighters, Goldberg’s ad (view) says that, “as chair of Brookline’s Board of Selectmen she increased the number of firefighters while other towns cut [...]
Onbrookline.com is featured in today’s Globe story concerning Friday’s Channel 4 debate between Massachusetts’ (Democratic primary) Lieutenant Governor hopefuls.
Update: Please do check out the comments below, as one of Deb Goldberg’s local supporters weighs in.
Just when I thought I could punch out from the Goldberg Follies, Deb strikes again. In an op-ed appearing in today’s Globe, Goldberg writes:
“While I was chairwoman of the Board of Selectmen in my hometown, over 500 units of expiring-use, affordable housing for seniors were going to be sold at market price. I stepped [...]
