(Hour 1a, b) Did you think we’d heard the last of Peanut Park? Think again! Alderman Bill Barry read a letter from “concerned constituents” on matters (… read more…) regarding Manchester’s famous (and infamous) Dog Park at last night’s Meeting of Mayor & Aldermen in Manchester. We can’t help but wonder if the letter was penned by the “Friends of the Manchester Dog Park But Not of Former Alderman Phil Greazzo.” Haven’t we already barked up this tree? Rich got to the bones of the matter and offered his advice to the “Friends” and to Phil Greazzo on how to finally put an end to all of the doggone controversy. Read more in the On Air News Read

As predicted, we are now seeing the folly of the election of Bill Barry as Ward 10 Alderman. With the city staring down the barrel of a multi-million dollar budget shortfall, Barry chooses to continue with this ridiculous attack on the Manchester Dog Park Board of Directors. Once again, there was no lapse in insurance coverage. There was no fiscal mismanagement of any sort. There was no political machine deriving its power from the Dog Park. There were no funds diverted to political campaigns. Jon Hopwood has alleged all of these things. He is wrong and, more to the point, he knows these allegations are entirely without merit. These allegations were made up out of whole cloth. Barry has continued to carry the banner for Hopwood and his ilk. The citizens of Ward 10 now have the 3 Stooges to thank for the lack of competent representation on the Board of Aldermen. The 3 Stooges promulgated false claims about the Dog Park in the pursuit of winning an election and with the intention of seizing control of the park because they did not like the political persuasion of the MDPA Board of Directors. It is as simple as that. They fooled the voters into believing these false claims and now Ward 10 is represented by a person who is utterly clueless. When your tax cap is overridden and spending continues to spiral out of control, you can remember these people who attacked a good public servant with outright lies in order to seize control for themselves. They are Democrat activists who cannot stand the idea of a public service being rendered without any government control. Like the good Liberals they are, the 3 Stooges sat on their rear ends while others built the park with their own hard work and with money from their own pockets and now they want to swoop in and lay claim to something they never lifted a finger or donated a penny to build.
