Social Media Hits new Low in Gardner MA
This week I published an accurate report on the disruptive conduct of Kimberly Blake and others which occurred the night of the Gardner City Council meeting. Earlier in May, I posted an accurate article about Blake’s illegal food pantry. Fast forward to now: All week there have been false allegations levied against local public officials leading up to Kimberly Blake and Paul DeMeo urging people to go to City Hall to somehow take their City back. It’s a small group which has been misled, but it is unfortunate for the City. There’s nothing to take back. The City is well managed and has had perfect State and Federal Audits for 4 years. Other posts have shown court reports about cases in which the people have been found innocent or acquitted, all in an effort to besmirch the reputations of some very good people. False allegations have been made about abuse, you name it, they’ve put up the nonsense posts. The owner of WGAW has been attacked verbally simply for reporting accurately on what is going on. And the latest, someone posted nonsense about me, the Publisher of Gardner Magazine stating falsely that I was not able to rent out an apartment at my residence due to some bad act. Nothing like that ever occurred. I can rent it out anytime I choose, but currently it’s used for a family member and storage and badly needs updating before I could get market rent for it. I urge anyone who really wants to be involved in change to run for City Council, the 6 top vote getters are elected to Councilors at large. That would be the right way to do it, not making up false things about good people.
