Well lookie here:
Proponents argued that the increase would fill state coffers and discourage residents from smoking, while critics said the state would lose money from smokers, who would travel to New Hampshire and Rhode Island to buy cheaper cigarettes.
I already buy my cigarettes in New Hampshire. And while I'm at the Market Basket in Seabrook, I buy my groceries there as well.
Relax, I still get 98% of my produce at Tendercrop. And while I hardly ever patronize Starbuck's anymore, I still can't stop myself from driving through Dunkin' Donuts all the time to pick up my latte ... but of course when I'm actually in downtown I buy from one of the locally-owned coffee shops.
And then I have a cigarette.

What did I say?
We are a very argumentative city.
The Daily News, as I previously noted, recently started to allow people to comment on line about stories on its website. I made a snarky comment about "shades of the Current?" but I was wrong!
Whereas it seems hardly anyone ever comments about stories on the Current's website, things are getting very contentious over there on the Daily News' website.
The hottest issues are a summer camp program in Amesbury that denied participation by a child with an allergy to peanuts and eggs, the dog-goat debacle in Rowley (now resolved) ... and the Newbury town beach (two stories).
Words such as "preposterous," "reprehensible," "ignorant" and "narrow minded" are flowing fast and furious. And that's the tame part. One person says to, "f the poor, f the homeless, f new orleans and f plum island." Oh my.
Over on Newburyport According to X, Mr. X has got his hands full with a reader who objects to his opinion on a senior citizens center at Cushing Park. 24 comments and counting ...
Mr. X is dead set against a center being built at Cushing Park, his contention being that the city is obligated to provide to the residents in the neighborhood off-street parking spaces in case of a snow emergency; the reader thinks the city owes the neighborhood squat but owes the senior citizens plenty.
There is an ordinance that says businesses (including apartment/condo buildings, I guess) don't have to provide parking for residents if there is a municipal lot within 300 feet. And Cushing Park, while it does have a playground area, is mostly a paved parking lot.
The Mayor is not proposing using all the parking lot, just the corner of it, I believe.
When stuff like this comes up - tough issues that Mayor John Moak inherited rather than caused - I feel bad for him. Sort of. OK, hardly at all but it sounded good.
Time will tell what repercussions, if any, his successors will inherit from his decisions, and those of the City Council, of course.

Governors
I do like our governor. I was really happy that he won the election and then was really dismayed when the press started coming down on him hard. I'm impressed with how he has rallied and moved forward.
I'm not a very political person. But I for 10 years before moving to Newburyport lived right across the street from the back of the State House. File this for future reference: if you move to Boston, don't live on Hancock St. It's the only thruway over Beacon Hill.
One day I ventured outside, during the day on a normal weekday. I believe I was mostly unemployed then as well! Chronic. Anyway, there was a policeman standing in the street outside my building, which was/is on the corner of Hancock and Myrtle streets. I asked him what was going on.
He rolled his eyes and said the governor was on his way. Shortly thereafter, a motorcade of state police officers on motorcycles roared around the corner from Beaudoin St. In the midst of all the hubbub was an SUV.
Governor Mitt Romney, arriving for work.
Perhaps it was an isolated incident (that was the only time I noticed it but then, I pretty quickly adapted to shutting out the traffic noise after moving there). I remembered that when Gov. Patrick was criticised for, right off the bat, getting himself an SUV at taxpayers' expense.
No mention of The Mitten and his motorcade. I think of Romney as "The Mitten;" I have no idea why.
Now, while walking to work at some point when I was actually working for someone else, I used to see former Gov. Paul Cellucci arriving for work. He rode in a modest sedan, but I do believe he had a driver. As many of my readers know, former Gov. and presidential candidate Mike Dukakis used to take the T (mass transit) to work - but more recently, Gov. Jane Swift was soundly chastised for sometimes commuting from home in western Mass. via a state police helicopter.
Speaking of Dukakis, a few months ago I had the opportunity to speak personally with the man. I left a message on his answering machine for a story I was writing and he called me back! He left ME a message, saying, "Gillian, this is Mike Dukakis ... etc." I saved it in my Verizon mailbox for as long as I still had Verizon service.
We talked for quite a while on the phone and then I met him in person at the event I was covering for the Current. Nice man - and he loves Newburyport. I believe he said his mother was from Haverhill and then she taught school in Amesbury so he has history around these parts.
And he said very nice things about Stephen Karp, by the way.

Tightening the belt
You can expect more stuff like this to be coming down in the future. It might sound silly, the city charging itself fees for a zoning variance on trailers, but remember: the Dept. of Public Services is an "enterprise" entity, independent from the city's general budget.
That's why the city can borrow money from DPS to fund water/sewer systems on Plum Island. The Harbormaster dept. is also an enterprise account. Mass. laws aside, seeking revenue is probably the real reason the Harbor Commission is looking to tighten up on collecting mooring fees.
Obviously, the city is looking for money wherever it can. Thus the new water meters, new permitting fees (A required "peer review" of engineering plans submitted by developers? Oh, c'mon! - does Stephen Karp know about this?) and sticking it to DPS.
This, however, is more like a regressive tax on residents. You charge DPS, they pass it on to the ratepayers.
On the other hand, if this is just a move to stick it to Brendan O'Regan, the DPS director, for blabbing to the daily about former City Council President (and now regular ward councillor) Tom O'Brien and something about threats to the mayor around a leave of absence for his daughter (who works in the water billing dept.) - then shame on City Hall.
From April 2, 2008, Daily News:
O'Regan said O'Brien's claims stem from personnel problems in the city's water billing department, where O'Brien's daughter works.
O'Regan said O'Brien went to Mayor John Moak about a week ago telling him that if he didn't give his daughter time off as part of a union request, he would go to The Daily News with charges of mismanagement.
"(O'Brien) hasn't raised any of these questions during this whole process and now that he asked for something and the mayor tells him no, these issues are being raised," O'Regan said. "And all it does is causes our customers to have undue worry as to the bills they are getting.
I am curious if this zoning variance applies to the mobile classrooms at the Bresnahan Elementary School. The School Dept. is also separate from the general city budget.
I am also curious about any measures being taken to tighten up the collection of past due property taxes.
I hear that might need some work as well.

Gov. Patrick pays us a visit
Wow, and I did not have a clue. Non-reporters don't get informed of this stuff - sometimes actual reporters don't, either, actually. Here is the story from our friendly paper of record, the Daily News.
The Gov. met behind closed doors at PI Coffee Roasters to discuss municipal issues? The very coffee shop located in a building owned by Stephen Karp, now the biggest developer in the city ...
Patrick's visit started with a get-together at Plum Island Roasters, the coffee shop among the marinas on Waterside West, the site eyed for development by Stephen Karp. About 30 people gathered there in a closed-door meeting to discuss local issues such as municipal revenues, state issues such as the casino proposal, and other topics.
(So ... he's just eyeing the site? He bought it for megabucks to just check it out? You think he'll change his mind about the development and instead build the greenhouses suggesed by Tom Salemi in comments on his April 4 post "Living Local" instead?)
Not sure if the site was significant or not, but why the closed doors? The "about 30 people" were, according to the paper, supporters of his gubernatorial campaign. If he was discussing municipal revenues, shouldn't taxpayers be made privvy to his comments?
Quick, let me see if the Current offers more insight ... uh, no. Gee, all this time and they still don't have a reporter who is available on short notice to cover these sorts of events?
Well, I like the Gov. but he apparently did not read up before coming up here about issues facing the city: the parking lots on the river, the landfill debacle and the beach erosion/river dredging on Plum Island.
Well at least we know he wasn't talking to the 30 people about any of that stuff.

More beach stuff
According to the Daily News, Congressman John Tierney has announced that the Army Corps of Engineers has secured $100,000 to study the erosion at the Newbury town beach.
This, of course, is what the guy from Woods Hole recommended when I talked to him a couple of months ago: Study first, lobbyist, if necessary, second.
More interesting was the comment from a member of the public (the DN now allows people to comment, on line, on each story - shades of the Current?). In part, the person says
"It is perplexing that the federal government has enough sense to not allow people to destroy the fore dune area in the refuge, yet the Town of Newbury doesn't."
The southern part of Plum Island is owned by the federal government, except for the extreme southern end, which is a state park. People are not allowed to walk on the dunes in the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge. The government has built wooden walkways through the dunes out to the beach, in selected locations.
If I could find my backup CD burned when my old laptop was slowly losing its pixels, I would post shots I have taken of the beach as it is in the refuge. It's beautiful, almost beyond belief, especially when you're the only person around.

Lottery
I bought two lottery tickets yesterday - one scratch ticket and a Mega Millions bet. I did not win more than $10 million but I did win $4 on the scratch ticket. So I'm not a wonderous magical person, in case you were wondering. I am, at best, a mediocre magical person.
Anyway, I looked on line for more lottery facts but alas really did not find that much, aside from the fact that it's mostly the people who can least afford it who buy lottery tickets. That makes sense.
I did, however, review my notes from the March breakfast meeting of the Merrimack Valley Chamber of Commerce, where they were talking lottery and casinos.
A minister named Dave that I met at the breakfast told me that at little bodegas in Lawrence (where there are 65 lottery outlets within 12 square miles,* according to State Sen. Susan Tucker of Andover) people buy a loaf of bread, a quart of milk and take their change in lottery tickets. Dave related a story to me about a boy with his father in a bodega asking his father if he could get some candy and the father saying no, there wasn't enough money, but then proceeding to purchase lottery tickets. Dave said that happens day after day after day in the poor neighborhoods.
"It's hard to convince (other) people how many people have so little," he continued. "There are children in Lawrence who go to school every day without underwear. Their whole wardrobe is from Goodwill."
*To put this in perspective, Tucker said there are just 12 lottery outlets in 60 square miles in Andover, a wealthy community.
So if the cities and towns in MA get a share in the lottery proceeds, does Lawrence get more money than Andover because it has more outlets?
This, and other questions, will be answered on tomorrow's episode of "As the State Turns (a profit)."

Giant sandbox
This is what my yard has become. I used to be able to park at the side of the house where some light gravel had made the sand more stable; now the only solid ground is right in front of the house.
But I learned a few things from talking to the men who were hooking me into the municipal water/sewer system.
One was that the rectangular area right outside the back door where nothing grew was over the septic tank. Top of said tank was only about 3 inches below the surface, which explains why sometimes I smelled sewer in the house.
Because it was a bare area in a virtual sea of beach grass, that's where I would host people for picnics, etc. Ewww
Another was that under the yard was a lot of concrete. This septic tank and accompanying (6) concrete leach fields was installed about 5 years ago to fulfill state Dept. of Environmental (DEP) regulations. Cost: in the thousands to install.
The men smashed in the septic tank and most of the other structures and buried the concrete. The head of the team told me they had to leave the concrete on-site, per more regulations. He also told me that some homes had up to 12 of the leach points, depending on how many people lived there, how many bathrooms, etc.
It has cost each homeowner on Plum Island about $17,400 per unit and"buildable lot" to hook up to the $23 million system. Some people had apartments in their home so it was $17,400 for each dwelling space, or unit. Others also own 2 or more lots. And that's just what the city is charging, in order to pay off the debt.
(The city did allow people to apply for abatements and deferrals, but not that many were granted. Given the previous thousands people had to shell out for the upgraded septic system not that long ago, it's no small wonder that residents are peeved.
On the other hand, a lot of them did pay peanuts for their property that is now worth in the high six figures, especially if it's near or on the ocean.)
Owners also had to pay the contractors to hook them into the system, another $5,000 or so, depending on how long it took. These guys were at my house (actually, my landlord's house) for longer than expected because they had to smash up the concrete leach points as well. Then they had to bring in a truckload of sand to fill up where the space where the septic tank had been.
And finally, I learned how the system could indeed be compromised if the ocean floods over the dune. I knew the sewer system worked on a vacuum but I thought those blue air vents they put in when they laid the lines would disappear. They did, but now we all have off-white ones. If those vents go south, so also goes the vacuum sewer system, I would guess.
The top of the vent in my yard is 3 or 4 feet off the ground but I have seen some that are only about 18 inches off the ground.

Rowley dog gets a reprieve
I don't think I've yet posted on the dog-killing-goat issue but in today's DN it is reported the dog got a reprieve from the former death sentence.
This one was a toughie and I feel for the Rowley selectmen who had to pass judgment. I personally thought right from the start that the dog was in "protect" mode, not "kill" mode, when found in the pen with the goats.
A family dog of ours years ago killed one of our chickens right in front of us ... or just me, I don't remember. There was a lot of blood and most of it was on the dog. Knowing that a dog will shake the other animal once it has its teeth in it, the lack of blood on the dog more or less convinced me that he was not the culprit.
Plus I've seen how bold the coyotes out here can be. The Newburyport animal control officer told me that they will come out in the daytime when there's a storm brewing that will disrupt their normal nighttime feeding cycle. I don't know if there was a storm coming on the day this all happened, but I feel there was reasonable doubt.
We kept our dog, a standard poodle, by the way, even though I don't think she ever got over the blood lust for the chickens once she had killed one. She was a sweetie in every other respect.

Bleeping irresponsible hawk
Since I recently posted about a hawk attack, here's this from today's Daily News.
"A hawk hit by a radio-controlled plane on March 30 has only itself to blame, said an official of the Cape Ann RC Club."
The hawk has only itself to blame. That's priceless. And while we're placing blame, the ocean should be given a good talking to for its audacity - imagine, eroding the beach like that.
This person has obviously watched WAY too many Disney movies.
