Mayor: Statement Made About Himself, Others, Houses "Downright Lie"

Dear Editor:

This is in regards to a comment made by one Ray Piacentio on January 5, 2014 in reference to my published letter entitled “Manchester Services Criticism Unfounded, Mayor Says”.  I find it very difficult to believe you would publish wild, libelous, untrue statements of this magnitude.

There is not one true statement in this man’s comments.  There are nowhere near 72 abandoned houses in the area he referred to.

His statement about my comments to his 85 year old grandmother is a downright lie.  I have not attended a Council meeting in over 8 years, except as a spectator, once a year at reorganization time.

I will be talking to my attorney shortly to bring action against this individual if I can locate him and include Patch and you in any action I take.

Sincerely,

Michael Fressola

Mayor
