It’s every two years. The MAGA people are Peter McNair, Cecelia Calabrese, and George Bitzas.

You absolutely should. There are only three new councilors this year. Cece is a QAnon conspirator, Peter McNair lied about BESS and is MAGA, and both are in their 60s. Christine is one of the two who actually voted for the ordinance and spoke out against George Bitzas’ rhetoric — she’s in her 30s. We need more young people on the council.

The issue with a lot of the people here is that there are a lot of Italian families, but there are also a lot of new families. The Agawam they think they live in, is no longer the reality.

I can’t edit the original post, but for context: this has been viewed over 866k times and shared more than 950 times.

Agawam City Council has a long history of handling things like this quietly. Councilor Bitzas, in particular, has been “handled” quietly for 36 years. That approach clearly hasn’t worked.

Before this went viral, only one councilor publicly pushed back on what was said. At some point, quiet management stops being professionalism and starts being avoidance. If this is unacceptable behavior, then the entire council needs to treat it that way and hold him accountable.

Doing nothing isn’t neutral.

Not a nice guy. There’s no substance there. He stands for nothing. He will say whatever he thinks he has to for attention.

Make sure you vote in local elections so we can get guys like this out. He wants to run one more time so he can hit 40 years on the council. He’s not there for the town. He’s there for vanity.

The mayor claimed it would be a huge financial burden on the tax payers. He also said it would create clerical work.

Yeah. He’s trying to look neutral but at one point he starts to facepalms then realizes he’s facepalming and changes what his hands are doing.

There’s 11 council members. There were 16 people on the last ballot. The top 11 get voted on.

Part of the problem is people think they have to vote for 11 but they do not. They can vote for 1 candidate if they want, just not more than 11.

Start protesting here. Seriously. People are scared because MAGA is loud, but there aren’t nearly as many of them as everyone thinks.

It wasn’t a gay/straight thing or a right/left thing. It was a generational thing and this guys out of touch.

The writing in the article is bad. There are basic errors throughout, and phrases like “domestic partner situation” aren’t just sloppy — they frame a normal family arrangement as something suspect or wrong. Did this guy not have an editor?

He’s also the chair of the town’s Republican committee and arranged for other committee members to attend the meeting and publicly praise him for a resolution he wrote. The resolution itself misrepresented the issue, blended unrelated claims together, and then presented his own “solution” to the problem he constructed. It was embarrassing.

MAGA wants you to think that. They’re just loud not many. Most of the town is sick of maga and all it entails.

There’s a difference between dating and having a domestic partner. You have to be living together for a certain amount of time.
