The Berkley Planning Board met Tuesday night with the Board of Selectmen to appoint a new Planning Board member. Resident Rob Lever has volunteered to help new Chairman Mike Leger manage Unger and Leary going forward. Good luck and God Bless to the two of you!
Mumblin’ Bob Longton surprisingly struggled with the technology of attending the Zoom call but after fiddlin’ with the dial on his computer, the rest of the Board was able to drag him over the finish line for a vote.
Lever has a long background in the dreaded public sector, but that may be a good thing in Berkley where it takes the defense mechanisms of a domestic abuse survivor to deal with the political culture in Town. Among his current responsibilities are managing a staff of 150 and a $20 million budget. While Old Berkley is concerned about where he stands on the Transfer Station, Lever’s first public comments gave this little blog a glimmer of hope.
As he was introducing himself, Lever proudly declared “I am not a Townie.”
Sweet kid, he has no idea what he’s in for. In all seriousness, this is what Berkley needs – people with professional skills and the ability to handle complex financial, planning, and operational challenges, not more incompetent mascots like Bob Longton.
Smarten up Berkley
