About

Welcome to http://www.billmanzi.com, a political blog where we hope to discuss Methuen politics, as well as state and federal issues, with an accent on how those issues of the day may impact us here in Methuen. I hope to add some contributors in the days and weeks ahead that will bring a perspective different from mine. It is my goal to allow robust debate and anonymous postings. We will however “moderate” that debate by refusing slanderous, obscene, or ad hominem attacks on individuals. That “moderating ” may mean that comments will be posted an hour or two after they are written. I am still learning the in and outs of the word press platform being used here, so please be patient with me! I believe that Dick Howe has done a magnificient job at http://www.richardhowe.com, and although I doubt that I can provide the detailed coverage he has provided in Lowell, I can interact with you in a new and exciting way. Thanks for stopping by.

Welcome

Welcome to my blog! We will discuss local politics in Methuen, as well as state and national events. This blog is moderated, so your comments will appear after they have been reviewed. Strong views are encouraged, and criticism is ok, but defamatory and slanderous personal attacks will not be posted. Crude or obscene language will not be posted. Other than that lets talk politics!
