Watch: The Thursday Night Fights – City Council Committee Bumps Pereira As Meeting Presider For Nieves

It’s called the Miscellaneous Matters Committee, but Thursday night it was the missile-aneous shatters committee judging by the number of verbal missiles heaved in City Hall.

Much of the jousting centered on the process to place agenda items. Aidee Nieves and Maria Pereira are dueling co-chairs who have a history of imbroglio. Pereira is of the mind that the two co-chairs must agree on what makes the agenda cut. But, what if they don’t agree?

Well, City Council President Jeanette Herron and Nieves maintain moving along city business is essential that transcends meeting of the minds. They were backed by the committee and the legal guidance of long-time municipal lawyer Mark Anastasi who weighed in as a result of a committee vote.

Pereira was loathe to acknowledge him.

Thursday night Pereira presided over the meeting, to start anyway. She and Nieves may alternate who chairs respective meetings.

Things became so unruly and dysfunctional that committee members voted to boot Pereira as presider in favor of Neives to move along business.

The real time comments of folks watching the live Facebook feed by City Councilwoman Eneida Martinez ranged from “unbelievable” to “she is so disrespectful” to “what a shit show” to “she supports her half truths, always and absolutely!”

So, grab your favorite Super Bowl weekend beverage and watch the scrimmage.

    1. P.S Some of y’all Port pols need to find Jeuse to help you round third, heading for home, and not play him, for some of y’all are just kidding yourselves.

      Or some other spiritual means, or perhaps even yourself. Whatever floats your boat, without kidding yourselves. JS

      Because Port politics put more strikes on people than Nolan Ryan.

  1. I want to touch on this latest controversy about the homeless man who departed.

    It seems like a lot of Mia Copa, considering CC members advocated and supported giving out tents to the homeless in the Port. While it always seemed like a retard idea, as a means of enabling, which it is. Considering homelessness is considered a more complex issue.

    For the most part, any single able-bodied person who can find work at minimum wage in CT should be able to afford their own shelter. Sure, they will not have the means for the luxuries like Mama Bear and an LV bag. Or even the privilege to patronize a rooftop bar at happy hour. However, for the most part, they should be able to pay their rent/shelter.

    To John’s point and his civics discussions about the Rent Commission, or lack of as it relates to the quality of housing, as a means to profits.

    What say you, Port CC and elected office? Ironic if you think about it. This video show noting but Maria calling out, playing the rules, laws, and regulations she was shunned for not supporting, and CC members who did want to disregard them as a means to move City Business forward. Things that make you go WTF 🤣

    Though, to be fair, in recent times, vultures have seemingly made it even more challenging to make ends meet, across the board, to say the least. And not so fair, absent from John’s POV by the CC. SMH

    While I have been down that homeless road several times. I can assure you, it’s a total mind fuck getting uprooted, not knowing where you are going to live, having to stay with others, disrupting their lives, and peaced, seeking shelters, while you try to find yours and a sence of stability.

    Even when you find yourself facing financial instability, to maintain your residence when times become financially challenging, facing the prospect of homelessness, being uprooted is a mind fuck in itself. JS

    However, fostering a lifestyle, “stability” by supporting such an idea like giving out tents, is not the way to go for them and others, as you try to build a better quality of life for your “constituents” in the city. It’s not only retared to foster a sence of stability in a untable mind, It’s dangerousin New England, clearly.

    The remedies for homelessness are complex because the reason one becomes, finds themsleves homeless is complex. Perhaps of their own devise, their own choice, drugs/mentalness.

    Perhaps other forces are at work, forever reasons unbeknownst that transcend that coded-side game as you don your hat and look out for your neighbors and walk by over those who are not.

    Who knows?

    At anyrate, try to play nice— The Prophet JS
