new bedford city council

Perhaps CleanSlate should look to the suburbs for a new location.

The council upheld a mayoral veto of their own prior move to ban treatment centers in residential neighborhoods. CleanSlate plans a treatment center at 52-54 Brigham Street, several blocks from St. Luke's Hospital.

The public has abdicated in its responsibility to do something about it.

The Council is expected to vote on a motion requesting the Committee on Public Safety and Neighborhoods to meet with CleanSlate Addiction Treatment Center.

Voters must choose between something familiar or something entirely new.

There are indications that Gomes may have worn out his welcome with some voters.

During his weekly appearance on the Barry Richard Show, Mayor Jon Mitchell discussed on the ongoing political circus in Fall River.

The Mayor has been recently stepping up the fight against Parallel Products’ proposal to construct a bio-waste and solid waste processing facility.

Mayor Mitchell has proposed allocating a budget of $250,000 on legal counsel to oppose Parallel Products' proposal. City Council votes on the request tonight.

Brian Gomes is pondering a run for Mayor of New Bedford.
