Let's hope the voters saw what this and the meeting a few weeks ago was, another cheap political stunt by Mr. Nelson and the TCC members of the council to let the angry residents vent that backfired. That reality became apparent at town council meeting Monday evening. Once again, the town council has no authority over this matter.

Following the legal process and doing it right will bring the correct results. Jumping off and skirting the law will get the town sued and we will loose. The council is on the right side of this issue. They want to help and will proceed in the right direction.

TCC endorsed council candidate and current Town Council President told a resident to shut up. Well this sounds like good government to me. This doesn't sound like bringing community together. Dave Nelson or Rob Coulter please explain?

I hope that these counsel members are up for re-election. Very unprofessional. How would they feel if this was their neighborhood? Dealing with the noise & smell? Keep Fall River's trash in Fall River! This needs to be investigated. I'm disgusted.

It very clear that Mr. Lambert does not want to hear from residents on this important issue of health and safety. Just what is being dumped on this property in the watershed? What is Mr. Lambert trying to hide? This is the second meeting that Mr. Lambert has tried to misrepresent concerns over current conditions to be concerns over future conditions. The town does not want to inspect this property. Why is this so? The location near private wells and the town water supply should make this of major concern to the town. Why is the heath and safety of residents not important? How could Mr. Eames no nothing about this property that has been operating for years? Why was Mr. Lambert rude and disrepectful to residents who tried to speak about this agenda item? It is very clear that Mr, Lambert is trying to hide something. The town of Tiverton deserves better than Mr. Lambert. It appears that the town is stalling for time in order for Site Ready to clean up the site and get it ready for this inspection. How can anyone trust Mr. Lambert after his display at this meeting? I am happy to say that there is an election in a couple of weeks and Mr. Lambert does not deserve to remain in this office. Where there is smoke there is fire. What kind of town does not want to hear from residents at a public meeting with the item on the agenda? Mr. Lambert feels that he is king and does not have to anwer to residents or voters. Thank god for elections....

Why does Mr. Lambert not want to hear from residents when the item is on the agenda? Why does the town not want to inspect this place? Why is the health and safety of our residents and our water supply not important. What is being dumped on the property? Mr. Lambert acted like he was king and no one else was allowed to speak. Thank God for elections..

Why would the TCC endorse someone who doesn't want people to participate at Town Council meetings? This is intimidation which has not place in a democracy. After all isn't this why we moved to an FTR, so that we could eliminate intimidation?

Rug Dr said "Mr Nelson and Mr Coulter did not behave poorly. It was Mr. Lambert who is full of contempt."

Actually Rug, yes Nelson and Coulter did behave poorly as did all the rest of the Council who just sat by while Mr. Lambert yelled inappropriately to residents. A council is a democracy with 7 members each having an equal voice and vote. The President is there to facilitate the meeting, he is not King, and the rest of the members bear equal responsibility for not ensuring residents were treated respectfully.

This close to the election it's time to pay antention to folks with real names and dismiss folks hidden , if they had an honest view and stood by it they would sign off on it
l

Jim L do people with honest views write letters and have other people claim they wrote it? Do people with honest views sign and submit letters written by someone else? Is that how you judge honest people James.

Mr. Lambert showed his lack of control and his anger that's for sure. What kind of Town Council president is he? What got him so angry?

“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.”

And seriously, the common trait shared by these TCC "leaders" is a lack of character. No one "gave" them power- they took it-and seem to think they are entitled to it. From Dave Nelson's ghost letters and his attempt at intimidating women( and now Jay Lambert too) to Justin Katz tweeting about "the right kind of poor", and numerous blatant lies that speak to character-or rather in the case of the TCC- lack of. The TCC ticket across the board-lacks integrity and character-traits that can not be bought-rather are earned. Tiverton, we have the power to change the TCC "leadership". TCC has got to go.I encourage Tiverton to check out those candidates running on the Tiverton First ticket. Collectively,their reputation, knowledge and skill set speaks directly to character and the ability to move Tiverton-without screaming, sneaky letters, voter intimidation and flat out lying. These are the people to move Tiverton forward. Tiverton First-Tiverton Proud!

Curb/T1 Protct teachers and fix the FTR, again start crying about lowest pay, The school super just said that the number of children needing breakfast is on the raise and Tiverton Proud ignores that because the way to make Tiverton Pround is pay teachers more which can only be done by raising taxes and taking nore money from folks who make less than teachers, and you say you speak for all of Tiverton?. I really , really don't think so, and I hope others agree

I was unable to attend the meeting but saw the video but did anyone speak up to help these people?
I'm not saying that those running on the first ticket, are opposed to helping, but where are they? This place needs a notice of violation and a Cease operation according to the law. Mr. Eames has stated that they are operating a compost facility without the proper permits and other things too,

If there is an oil spill, do we scramble around trying to find out how it happened, or do we stop the oil spill and find out later.

All this takes is someone to step up and tell Mr. Eames to do his job, regardless of the fact that he has not done it all along.

Is that so hard?

I heard that there is more information on this than the public is being told.

It seems the Town Council allows some residents to speak, but that's all that happens. I haven't seen anything be done. -Tiger Landscaping, Garage on Fish Road, Eagleville Rd Garage and now Site Ready. Everything is still as it was before the complaints. Everything gets swept under the rug someone will trip over the lumps. The problems are growing because violators KNOW nothing will be done. Eames needs to go and so do some town council members. All talk NO action, but our votes will speak for us.

JimL's profile page seems to be gone, so perhaps we won't be hearing proof of any of his conspiracy theories.

bigger question? why was he suspended from patch?

Where is council candidate Gerlach on this issue. Why has he been so silent?
