This Turtleboy has lived in Worcester his entire life, and we have NEVER seen a worse job plowing the roads than we did yesterday. It was a disgraceful abortion sandwich and anyone who says otherwise is an idiot. And please, spare me the “drive slower” routine. Everyone was driving slowly yesterday. You could be driving 5 mph, which we were on Airport Rd, and still get into several car accidents. Because the roads were untreated, not sanded, and unplowed.
Here’s our biggest beef – DPW commissioner Paul Moosey does NOT live in Worcester. He lives in a $400,000 house in Sturbridge. Here’s what he actually had the balls to tell the Telegram and Gazette last year:
“I understand there’s a perception there, but I don’t have any immediate plans to move. It’s difficult to move,” Mr. Moosey said.
He also said this:
“It’s not a deal-breaker to the manager whether I move into the city or not.”
Of course it’s not a “deal breaker” to Ed Augustus if he moves into the city. Because Ed is his boy. Moosey and Ed are protected by the McGovern Crime Family, which only a moron would think is not a real thing at this point.
Here’s what he said about the roads back in December when we had 60 car accidents in five hours:
“They’re all drivable. They’re a mess with slushy stuff on them. But, for the most part, they are not slippery. The type of sleety stuff we got last night isn’t like freezing rain, like a glare ice kind of thing. We haven’t really seen accidents or issues,” Mr. Moosey said late Tuesday afternoon.
Of course he wouldn’t know what the roads are like since he lives in Sturbridge. Ed Augustus had to come out and publicly apologize for these comments because they were just that stupid. Yet he STILL has a job. Anyone else would have been fired by now. This is Paul Moosey:
Good God. It’s a cross eyed Mr. Feeny with a worse haircut. I used to rock that do back in 92 when my face was covered in acne and I assumed I was going to die a virgin. You’ll also notice that he’s a white guy in a suit. Ed Augustus, Joe Petty, Jim McGovern, and the rest of the progressive patrol talk a lot about how they’re working to reach out into communities of color. It’s why they spent over $100,000 per year to hire a new “chief diversity officer.” But at the end of the day the biggest threat to diversity in Worcester are McGovern, Petty, and Augustus who not only strictly hire their connected white boy friends, but they then KEEP THEM in those positions, despite the fact that they are clearly deserving of termination.
If this guy worked in the private sector he would’ve been canned a long time ago. Keep ind mind, the whole purpose of a City Manager system is to treat the public sector like the private sector. A professional manager who gets things done because he’s not a politician. But Joe Petty and crew brought in a connected Worcester professional politician in Augustus, and made him the City Manager. Moosey is HIS guy. Moosey’s failures are his own.
Anyway, whoever runs the City of Worcester Twitter account is obviously another moron and liar:

HAHAHHAAHHAHAA. Bravo Justin G. Couldn’t have said it any better myself. Not a single truck was out treating the roads. Not one. That’s just a bold faced lie. Let’s look at some of the damage caused by these clowns:
Worcester Ladder 2 reports they are stuck on top of a hill due to road conditions. DPW advising they don't have any trucks with plows on
— Douglas Dow (@FullyInvFire94) April 4, 2016
Think about that. A Goddamn fire truck can’t get to a potential fire. And there isn’t a SINGLE plow out on the roads. The DPW admitted that. Yet the city says they’re out treating the roads. LIES. Paul Moosey is a danger. He is going to people someone killed. Like a bus full of children on Chester Street almost were yesterday:
Here’s a picture from Kenberma Ave. The bus circled on the right is a handicapped bus that is supposed to pick up a disabled passenger in the house circled on the left. It could not get there because the roads were untreated and unplowed per the orders of our DPW chief from Sturbridge
Here’s what the roads looked like both yesterday and today:
Here’s one of countless cars whose tires are spinning on the roads TODAY because Florence Street is an ice skating rink:
So why do we allow this? Simple. Because there are thousands of idiots in this city who will support Petty and Augustus no matter how bad they are. The worst amongst them is a woman named Nancy Smith. Just to show you what we’re dealing with from this diehard Petty/Hillary/Machine supporter, here’s what she said about the newest class of state troopers who were inducted last week:
Cops are white because of white privilege. This is how dumb of a person Nancy Smith is. Keep in mind Nancy lives on the West Side. For someone who claims to care so much about race, inclusion, and diversity, she purposely chooses to isolate herself from people of color by living in one of the whitest neighborhoods in Worcester. She admits that she’s never had a person of color over for dinner, nor does she have any in her circle of friends. In other words, she is a typical “do as I say, not as I do” fake, bullshit, West Side “progressive.” Here’s what she had to say about the plow job:
Oh look, Nancy can multiply. Hey Nancy, ya know why the median property tax in Holden and Shrewsbury is higher than in Worcester? Because homes are worth more there. And do you know why a four bedroom house in Worcester costs $150,000 less than it does in Shrewsbury? Because people don’t wanna send their kids to the Worcester Public Schools, and they don’t wanna drive on roads that aren’t plowed. So when your property is worth more, and your property taxes are a percentage of what your house is assessed at, then OBVIOUSLY the median property tax rate will be higher. Obviously. Our tax rate is higher than all of those towns though, it’s just that the property value here is worth less.
Regardless, there are more property owners in Worcester and consequently we should have more tax revenue to plow the roads. But we don’t. Know why? Because we throw money at people like Mosaic and chief diversity officers. These are the priority for people that Nancy Smith and Ed Augustus.
Oh and for the record, not a single one of those 500 miles of road in Worcester were plowed yesterday before buses started heading to school. And if you think that all these accidents are because of bad drivers, then you’re in bad company:
If you ever find yourself agreeing with Nancy Smith, then you need to reevaluate your postion. Because she is wrong about everything.

Living in Sturbridge and making six-figures a year. Not bad, but nothing new around here. While traffic has a major cluster-f… ! Wonder how many cars were in accidents and people who were hurt. Because of this who-cares attitude about the snow !
TB ,your falling for City excuse that Dept. Heads residency will be a cure all. The City has all sorts of various so call expert opinion and reports on why this isn’t . They love for you to fall for that excuse ,so they can continue their pattern of excuses by getting more reports.
What a surprise…another liberal idiot on her soapbox, preaching about something she has no knowledge of! Just make up the facts, nobody will check or care! Sounds a lot like Senator Dianne Feinstein on her ignorant rant about gun control!! If Nancy wanted to be so righteous, and cave into the “white privilege” or “white guilt”, maybe she could relocate to Rodney Street or Dorchester Street.
Once again, I need to point out inaccuracies in her rant about the state police academy. There are plenty of police officers, both state and municipal who have come from “low income” or “impoverished” areas of the city. IGNORANCE!!! If a person wants something bad enough, they will overcome their obstacles, and strive to succeed!
TBS: Of course it’s not a “deal breaker” to Ed Augustus if he moves into the city. Because Ed is his boy. Moosey and Ed are protected by the McGovern Crime Family, which only a moron would think is not a real thing at this point.
Why would Ed Augustus care if Moosey lived in Worcester when Augustus doesn’t live in Worcester? The people should call for his resignation. Even though the winter was mild, almost every time it snowed, the DPW dropped the ball.
You guys are all wrong, I did see a plow truck yesterday….at noonish clearing out the front of City Hall.
I drive a Subaru with 4wd and still slid around corners and when stopping. Even at 8 pm the roads were still shit and in my neighborhood they don’t bother. Fuckin worcester
Our hero…!! https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1250121912/Mr_Plow_400x400.jpg
So if he lived inside Worcester it’d all be ok?
Gimme a fucking break. You can either do your job or you can’t. You either give a fuck or you don’t, it doesn’t matter where you live. You want to rant and rave about ‘murica, freedom and all the other bullshit, but you’re insinuating there should be a residency requirement? Should teachers be required to kluge in the city also?
And as far as State Police cadets? Ummmmmm, yeah, they do get paid during the Academy. No, not a hell of a lot, but they get paid. And their uniforms, gear, gun,etc? Ummmm, yeah, it’s all issued (with the exception of personal items), as it should be. Obviously that Nancy Ninny hasn’t a clue.
Since when is she concerned with facts. That would go against the rules in her own little world.
“Ed Augustus had to come out… ”
LOL
Did Nancy say there’s 3000 more people per square mile in Worcester than its surrounding towns. Wouldn’t that be more income per mile compared to the towns?
And its people like Nancy Smith who vote for the Pettys of the world and this is why Worc is such a joke. Nearly every town surrounding Worc canceled school, except for Worc. Funny how that works, yet here is Ms Uppity West Side, telling all us regular folk how we are all so wrong. White priv? Naw, West Side privileged indeed.
Think about it. Could you have a more white bread name than Nancy Smith and to live on the West Side?
It’s an alias for some self-aggrandizing SJW, probably Old Balls, his wife, someone from Mosaic, or possibly even Dianne or Clive.
“She’s” a plant. TBS needs to expose this phony.
TB. An organized march on a Tuesday night council meeting is in order. No plowing? No peace!
The good people of Worcester should be marching on city hall with pitch forks and torches and hold the council hostage until someone is held accountable. Either that or move down south. Sunny and in the 70’s yesterday!!!
I can’t get there, the roads are too slippery
BWAHAHAHAHAHA…OMG!!! That hair…I ain’t seen that shit since the early 80’s and is was hella fruity even back then. I bet he’s got a rat tail in the back…dyed a different color.
Worcester has more mileage to plow but they also have WAY MORE tax paying citizens. Oh wait, no they don’t . Most don’t work, live on handouts and cry about racism…not having a tiny clue how much they are draining the resources… In every conceivable way.
Great point!! Maybe if they didn’t wait 10 hours to start clean up, things would have been better. And the combination of having school and no plowing could have been deadly for young kids trying to get to school!
90,000 motor vehicles traveling Worcester roads daily. 60 accidents caused my idiots who can’t drive properly even on a dry sunny day. 89,940 vehicles that made it safely to work and back home unscathed. Quit your bitchin’
Are you actually okay with the town doing ZERO to make the roads safer? Collecting tax money to improve the town and then doing nothing with it?
I travel all day for work. In and out of Worcester, Shrewsbury, Westborough, etc.
I get the roads being messy WHILE it is snowing.
But what is the excuse this morning? Twelve hours after it stopped snowing?
This morning, there is a line, when you cross the RT 9 bridge, that might as well be crossing into Moscow.
Plantation St, rather than the normal 4 total lanes, was down to 2 total lanes, each side with 2 ruts you had to drive in.
Grafton St was 2 lanes of ruts and traffic was moving at a crawl due to cars coming off of side streets and getting stuck in these ruts.
Jump on 290 and it is wet pavement but as soon as you exit on West Boylston St, it is back to the snow covered rutted road.
Show me a video if driving in Moscow and I will think it is Worcester
What Nancy also missed is that Shrewsbury, et al, do not tax their businesses at 2 and 1/2 times the tax rate that they charge homes, so thI y have actual businesses there instead of hundreds of empty, former businesses that populate Worcester.
Nancy Smith is an Old Balls alias (or maybe his wife’s).
So how do we get him replaced?
It’s obvious why the roads are never treated during storms. Edwina Augustus loves getting rear-ended.
If you want to know why things happen the way they do, listen to the DPW or the water dept on the scanner sometime. it is like a retard circus.
Let’s abolish the R word.
Whenever I hear (or read) someone use the “R” word, it tells me everything I need to know about that person. And it knocks them down several IQ points in my estimation.
In other Worcester news, did anyone notice that Old Balls is back on the blogs at the T&G?
Everyone knew it was going to snow, and temps would be well below freezing … and these idiots couldn’t have the roads in decent shape. It was still dangerous after leaving work at 5pm !!! Gold plated pensions for years of not doing their job.
Um, you do know that people still have to travel to go to work right? And since there was school, people had to bring their kids/drop them off right? So please tell me with the weak winter we had that there wasn’t the sufficient funds available in their snow budget to treat the roads properly.
Boo Hoo. You want a tough travel day? Hitch a wagon with the Donner party, then you’ll have something to bitch about.
Pretty sure if you have 3x the roads but 3x the density (or 5x the roads but 5x the density), it’s all the same when the property tax per person is comparable. The roads should have comparable levels of care when the tax dollars aren’t wasted
There’s no residency requirement for his position, so he doesn’t have to live in this shit hole if he doesn’t want to.
There has been zero proof you are a resident yourself.
While it is snowing, the roads won’t be clear. If you think the roads are unsafe, DON’T GO OUT! That simple. But if that happened, Turtleboy would have nothing to complain about.
There’s no excuse for ZERO treatment of the roads. They didn’t even try. I always feel bad for the officers who have to slip and slide their way to every accident then stand in the cold.
i drive for a living and drove during the storm it was very clear that the Worc roads weren’t taken care of, when you drive into Framingham, and there down to pavement,even a hick town like East Brookfield,was plowed better than the City of Worcester, if they didn’t cancel school, then there first priority should of been the safety of Our kids, and it wasn’t, its fine to say stay in if its bad… but the kids had to go out in it people work, maybe they get a kick back if theirs left over money in the snow budget… who knows but the second largest city in New England cant even plow the roads for the safety of the school children? how do you put a spin on that one…..
Where you get this thing called plow?
It may very well be Moosey is not up to the job. In over his head ?
This is nothing new for Worcester. It happened with Moylan to. This city has a bunch of meatballs working in the DPW. And you can’t get rid of them. Public employee civil service thing.
Can you blame Moosey? Do you see his eyes? One of them is looking in Worcester and the other is way over in Holden.
TurtleBoy already made that joke, above, Flighty. You stole it, azzhat. You think none of us on here read?
He called him crossed eyed. I said, in nicer words, that his eyes are so fucked he’s looking in two different towns. How is that stealing a joke? It’s more stating the obvious.
Shhhh…. SHHHHH…. It’s almost midnight save your fucking stupidity for a new day.
Love you FeistyLawyerLady. You crack me up. Keep ’em coming.
Hahaha!! Thanks SJ! I’m way more creative on the weekends when I have had one too many beers. Stay tuned my friend! 🙂
So, yeah, the NCAA tournament just ended last night in awesome fashion, and the women play tonight…….
That’s a rug, baby.
Call your ELECTED Councillors. If Moosey stays, no votes for existing city Councillors who supported this turd.
Goddard Memorial Dr. on TUESDAY – UNPLOWED, unsalted from Airport Dr. to Apricot St. Not drifted over, completely unplowed. Accident at bottom of hill. City’s fault. All side streets- pure ICE. Hard packed snow now ice. Wednesday, and its STILL BELOW FREEZING! Streets STILL need SALT. And NO response from the administration. DPW head needs to go.
…and one he’s had since the 80s too!
Right, obviously and a really bad one too !
