Fall River will be getting an update on the status of the South Coast Rail project at a public meeting to be held virtually Thursday evening.
Project manager Jean Fox says since construction work began in earnest last year at the Weaver’s Cove Layover and the Fall River Train Depot, the project remains on schedule for service to resume in 2023.
Ms. Fox says Governor Baker has continued his commitment to funding the project. She says the focus of next week’s meeting will be to provide updates and seek community feedback.
The community meeting on South Coast Rail takes place next Thursday, February 25 beginning at 6 pm.
Matt Malone, Paul Coogan and the 4 community members that supported him should all be voted out.
Malone should be forced out. Give him his couple of months salary and send him on his way. It is far money that way then it will be to keep PM and continue with multi million dollar lawsuits. At present count my sources tell me there are at least 3 lawsuits against the city due to his behaviour. We know the city is famous for settling cases like this.
That means we settle 3 cases it will cost well over a million dollars. The school committee has chevrel million dollars saved from funding and grants that should be utilised in the event any awards are made by the courts. In no way should the taxpayers of the city have to pay for his Behaviour. In any event I guess we will. Considering grants and budgeting come from taxes anyway. The mayor is complicit by not standing up and calling for his resignation. As far as the state ruling goes, that is not a demand that he not comment is simply an opinion on conflict of interest should he decide to comment. This administration has failed to stand up to most every promise it has made. The story of Colvid Being the issue why he is distracted is old news and hwin out like a pair of 20 year old jeans. This may and does not make decisions on his own and goes to his initial for advice. This initial is made up of the good old boys and girls that the prior administration was successful in removing many of them from the system. Coogan again upon election brought back Ken Fiola, A man who made $200000 every year and controls a lot of the development of the city. I have no animosity or issues with Kenny. However, I have been vocal in that his salary was blown up only because of his political clout and that if he truly cared about the city he would give back 1/3 of his salary and do the job for$150,000.
We are in a position where we are going backwards again. Everyone talked about the corruption of the prior administration but even considering what was done we had 9 million dollars saved in our rainy day fund, we had a better bond rating than ever and people were beginning to see streets cleaned up And the trash situation was addressed We are in a position where we are going backwards again. Everyone talked about the corruption of the prior administration but even considering what was done we had 9 million dollars saved in our rainy day fund, we had a better bond rating than ever and people were beginning to see streets cleaned up And the trash situation was addressed. Almost immediately after a new mayor is elected we see the good old boys coming back policies being changed people being laid off all fire that were doing a good job but didn’t fit into the cronyism. This is why we are still being talked about and laughed at across the country. The mid talks about they will never be at FBI investigation on him. He might end up eating them woods as some citizens have called on the Attorney General to bring law enforcement into the city to investigate The 6th floor and its connection to develop is and the way it has been Operating. I for one said in advent that the minute 1 person Watch brought back into government from the old boy network that it would be a symbol of Watch brought back into government from the old boy network that it would be a symbol of Major problems ahead. Matt Malone must be forced out and the mayor needs to hold a press conference and state publicly that he wants Malone to step down. Short of doing that, this mayor along with the 4 school committeeman must be voted out next election.
