Residents and Service Providers not able to call Beverly City Hall last week

Why Not?

Because the phone bill wasn't paid!

Now you will hear different stories from the City Clerk and from the Mayor.

The Clerk claims that the old service provider turned off the phone service before the new phone company turned on the new service (the City was without phone service for a least 2 days) and Mayor Cook was telling residents that it was a wiring problem.

We think it was an incompetence problem on the part of the officials running the City.

But guess what City Residents, not only isn't the City paying the phone bill, they have not paid a local mechanic who repaired a city vehicle, but will not return his phone calls.

Could the state of Beverly's finances be the reason that the former CFO quit?

We also understand that Officer Pearce wanted to take a lie detector test concerning the charges brought against him by Beverly City Officials, but that the City refused this.

Gee, why would the City not want Tony to take a lie detector test?

Is it possible the City may have something to hide? (if you don't think so, just put in and OPRA request for records that the City has, and see how long if ever they comply with that request, like King Louie's building permits or the 2010 budget)

We do know that the City has problems finding its records and like most of the business conducted at City Hall, it is who your friends are that determines how and what gets overlooked.

To bad Officer Pearce is an honest, consciences police officer that would not compromise his principles for the KING and QUEEN. If he was willing, Tony could have been Chief.

If you are at the Bank on Cooper St in EP on Friday's watch out for the stampede of Beverly City Employee's trying to cash their paychecks.
