Re: ARE WINTHROP COUNCILORS AND MANAGERS ANTI-JEW? CHIEF GOLDSTEIN'S LAWSUIT WILL TELL

Actually David I do.I mean what are chances that not one, not too, but three councilors said such things or made such gestures? And I can't see Ferrino being like that either, especialy openly.Years ago I recall he stood up for Dave Rice more than once, our first "Jew police chief". And furher I recall Ferrino looking dismayed when Larry "the hit man" Holmes announced he had let Goldstein go. And why did they want him out? Anyone remember any issues with those 3 and Goldstein? I don't. And these revelations came out after Goldstein lost his real money case? I dunno man..not ringing true if actually alleged.

Why do I get the feeling that this isn't about the legal fees with OSBORNE?

Re: ARE WINTHROP COUNCILORS AND MANAGERS ANTI-JEW? CHIEF GOLDSTEIN'S LAWSUIT WILL TELL

This will go nowhere!!!

Re: ARE WINTHROP COUNCILORS AND MANAGERS ANTI-JEW? CHIEF GOLDSTEIN'S LAWSUIT WILL TELL

Looks like they didn't like the chief because his name did not end with a vowel.

Re: ARE WINTHROP COUNCILORS AND MANAGERS ANTI-JEW? CHIEF GOLDSTEIN'S LAWSUIT WILL TELL

Honestly, in such a diverse town with people of many colors, ethnicities, and religious beliefs (including an active synagogue), I doubt Chief was fired because he happened to be Jewish. I do believe incompetence was a majority factor. And not just his own. Next time we extend our search to external candidates, let us raise the bar a bit higher than State Police Sergeant, shall we? Maybe it's just me, but placing an individual with non-executive experience in a position to lead protective services for 18,000+ Winthropers seems a bit silly.

Yeah, right Bob... it's bad enough hirin a retired state cop from another state as a local police chief... It is far worse to appoint a know nothing local good old boy with the powers assumed by a town manager... Just ask Chuckie the Forever Paid...

Sorry Vanna White but you are full of baloney!!!

Re: ARE WINTHROP COUNCILORS AND MANAGERS ANTI-JEW? CHIEF GOLDSTEIN'S LAWSUIT WILL TELL

Let me see:
A, E, I, O, U - sometimes Y

VOWEL - Rice, Lamonica, Delahanty

NO VOWEL - Shamshack, Goldstein

Coincidence? You be the judge.

Re: ARE WINTHROP COUNCILORS AND MANAGERS ANTI-JEW? CHIEF GOLDSTEIN'S LAWSUIT WILL TELL

Rice=Jewish
Delahanty=Irish
Shamshack=?

Your point again?

Re: ARE WINTHROP COUNCILORS AND MANAGERS ANTI-JEW? CHIEF GOLDSTEIN'S LAWSUIT WILL TELL

I guess the point would be...OUTSIDERS NOT WELCOME

You are not making any sense.

This entire thread does not make any sense when you consider that one of our current and one of our former council members are also Jewish. There has to be a lot more to it than that. Probably items that are still under seal. It will be interesting when the WHOLE story comes out.

SHADOW, I'll let you know the minute the courtroom drama begins.

Re: ARE WINTHROP COUNCILORS AND MANAGERS ANTI-JEW? CHIEF GOLDSTEIN'S LAWSUIT WILL TELL

I sure hope Goldstein doesn't get any mileage out of this frivolous action. If only more people were honest with themselves! Folks like Dr. Jenkins and former-Chief Goldstein should look in the mirror and say, "How lucky am I to have held my position for that long?" I'm curious to see how this all turns out.

Re: ARE WINTHROP COUNCILORS AND MANAGERS ANTI-JEW? CHIEF GOLDSTEIN'S LAWSUIT WILL TELL

TO BOB THE BOOKKEEPER....Just what do you think all this legal wrangling will cost the Town? It sounds like they just want to run Winthrop into the ground and with their background and inner working knowledge I bet they will sit back and enjoy this entertaining venture...The town PAID council will have to be involved or will they? Someone is sitting back watching the tide wash over us again and again...
What do you think of McKenna out of the office leaving WFC Flanagan in charge?
A he said she said will be a costly venture...Someone call NECN camera
rolling...And your worried about the Casino people!!!!
