FFA: Act 3, Scene III

FFA = Flip-Flop Administration (more readily known as the Sarno Administration)

Mayor Sarno and Police Commissioner Fitchet are the heads of the FFA but a new, not necessarily fresh, class is rising, manifested by James Ferrera III. Last week, Ferrera suggested a "spending freeze".

http://urbancompass.net/?p=1501 (Masslive.com refuses to report on the issue; moderating the 'Forum" section is more important probably). You can read it and "formulate" your own thought.

In my opinion: Ferrera's probably not qualified to be City Clerk, let alone City Council Vice President. Instead of not spending money, how about coming up with an IDEA to MAKE money. Seems simple, right? Not quite. A company who actually wants to build something here, is being met with opposition in regards to traffic, access and parking. ( http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2008/10/report_on_proposed_shopping_ce.html?category=Springfield ). Issues that were solved when they invented roads, cars and paking lots.

It gets better Springfield. "Man dies after seizure while in Springfield police custody" ( http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2008/10/man_dies_after_seizure_while_i.html?category=Springfield ). Who has been reporting on this "new" phenomenon? I can't wait to see if this man has a history of seizures or if it was convenient for police to say this was a seizure to cover their tracks now.
