When the Cannabis Control Commission made its cannabis rules, that is, when the CCC created and promulgated 935 CMR 500 (Adult Use of Marijuana), the commission capped the number of licenses for medical dispensaries at three per business entity, and capped the number of recreational retail shops also at three per business entity. This meant […]

By mid-August, my suspicions about your questionable relationship with Jason Sidman (CEO of Sanctuary) had grown. And yet, I still wanted to give you that benefit of the doubt. On 8/16, I sent you this text: What’s Jason Sidman’s number, please? He’s either going to help or not I don’t have time to waste It’ll […]

If you’ve thought for even one moment that writing about the malfeasance in our town’s government has been enjoyable in any way for me, Chuck, think again. While I have endeavored to write about these issues engagingly, I take no pleasure in the state of our town. I will say that this isn’t how I […]

Littleton’s poor get the money. That’s the plan. “But how?” you (might) ask, Gary. I think the easiest and fairest way to select who will receive the $10,000.00 checks, which SAGA Cannabis will hand out as the obscene profits on cannabis come rolling in, will be by qualifying lottery. Qualifying = any household in 01460 […]

On August 6, 2023, just three days after I learned about your “afternoon on the water” on Jason Sidman’s boat, I texted you, hoping that you might say or do something that would allow me to think that your loyalties were with 01460 and not with Jason Sidman, CEO of Sanctuary Medicinals, Inc.

Whose? Matthew’s? Chuck’s? After twenty-one “Matthew” posts and eight “Chuck” posts, I have received no communication from either of them. Since my Open Letter to Matthew on November 16th, I have seen him twice: on December 5th and the 18th. Matthew refused to make any eye contact with me either time. Since my Open Letter […]

Most people in “government” actively avoid hobnobbing with people who want something from “the government.” Most elected officials honor the oath they swore when taking public office and can remember the basics from the commonwealth’s mandatory ethics training. Each time that I’ve taken the mandatory training (the most recent of which was this past August […]

If you’re a “numbers” person, the subtext of this question probably runs along the lines of “How many people are reading?” “How many page views?” “Number of unique visitors?” Normally, on social media, we can get a sense of people’s “reaction” based on the number of thumbs-ups or little red hearts that accrue (or don’t) […]
