We have researched the controversy swirling around Revolution Ax wanting to open a bar with recreational ax throwing as the hook in our fair city.
At first blush, even the thought of the Licensing Board allowing such a place, is a long yard.
But should it be?
Probably not.
Axe throwing bars – where patrons throw axes in a controlled situation – are very common all over the United States. There are thousands of such bars with axe throwing as the hook. Continue reading “The Revolution Ax Issue” →
Let’s face it, the payments of hefty legal fees to criminal attorneys every month by the mayor is not a sign that everything is the way it ought to be in the corner office at city hall.

The question remains, what exactly is he paying for?
What’s the big deal?
The possibility of indictment and having to protect himself from criminal charges is the big deal, and apparently his worry.
He is paying powerful and expensive criminal attorneys to represent him from the worst possible catastrophe that could befall him or any public official or businessman or woman – Federal prosecution for public corruption by the US Attorney in Boston.
Paying so much, in such large amounts, so often, to powerful criminal attorneys is an important sign that the government is looking closely at Everett and possibly at the mayor for wrongdoing. Continue reading “The mayor’s defense from criminal prosecution revealed” →
