  1. This is an absolute joke!
    Oh, he’s made an impact on the lives of the people of Haverhill alright!!
    His lying, corruption and tax and spend policies will be with Haverhill ‘forever’!! Parking taxes, meals tax, 25% increase in property taxes in just the last 8 years, water rate increases, DPW service rate increases….the mayor is to be thanked for all these…and they’re ‘never’ going away.

    And let’s not forget…if anyone was asked what the biggest problem the City of Haverhill has face the last ten years I think it’s safe to say ‘the Hale Hospital debt’. And who is most responsible for that??? James Failurentini!! He was a city councilor when the city bought the hospital and was a councilor the whole time it was being mismanaged. He signed off on the sale of the hospital that burdened the city with when it’s all done close to $100Million in debt!!!

    Can anyone name even ONE thing this failure has succeeded at? Just one??
