Brian Johnson’s (former) “Super Lawyer” Tani Sapirstein tried to dupe the Court.
Tani Sapirstein of Sapirstein & Sapirstein, P.C., Attorneys at Law, is a familiar name since the last attempt by James Wettlaufer to prove that the Lamountain’s are not involved in farming failed miserably and the taxpayer had to pickup the tab for Wettlaufer’s personal vendetta against the LaMountain's.
Sapirstein is now representing defendant Brian Johnson, our elected Highway Surveyor, in an attempt to keep Brian’s criminal record untarnished. Honorable Justice Poehler from the Palmer District Court will decide at the end of the hearing whether a “Criminal Harassment Prevention Order” should issue against Brian Johnson, read more»

Spring time; watch out for Motorcycles!
It is that time of the year when Motorcycle enthusiasts take their two wheels out of the garage.
It happens once in a while that some car driver just overlooks a motorcycle as it happened today at Exit 2 of I 84. A driver in a silver colored four door sedan was taking a left turn onto Haynes Road at the intersection with River Road in Sturbridge. It is the intersection where the Hebert Candies store was years ago.
The driver had two passengers in his car and was on his way to the Public House to meet with his sister who was waiting there for him. The heavy touring motorcycle tried to avoid the collision but couldn’t and crashed into the silver colored sedan around 13:48 hours. The driver of the motorcycle had some injuries to his shoulder and his passenger was more seriously hurt.
Pictured above: EMTs called from Sturbridge attending the injured passenger of the motorcycle.

Accident at the Four Corners.
Today, around 14:15 hours, a white Lincoln Sedan was traveling eastbound on Stafford Road. The black Honda CRV was traveling on Mashapaug Road towards Brimfield. It is not clear whether the white Lincoln failed to stop at the stop sign or if he stopped and thought that there is a fourway stop at the intersection and expected the other driver to stop.
Brimfield Ambulance, the Holland Fire Department, and the State Police were at the scene.

SCARY... the real BRIAN JOHNSON.
On February 19, 2011, Brian Johnson’s attempts to harass and intimidate me reached a new low. Together with a gang of at least six men, he and his gang harassed, threatened, assaulted, and battered me.
I became the target of his rage after exposing illegal land deals by his family, involving the construction of two dwellings in violation of Mass. G.L. and local bylaws, his bad judgment in hiring untrained and unlicensed friends as drivers for heavy town equipment, repeated violations of the Wetlands Protection Act, lying to police officers in order to criminalize his critics, using town resources for personal gain, and quietly running a roofing company while on the payroll of the Holland Taxpayers.
After the assault of February 19, true to his character, Brian Johnson not only lied to the police to save his ass, he cowardly accused ME of wrong doing.
According to the official police report, Brian Johnson claimed that I was harassing him and his gang, and Brian accused me of having made a death-threat towards HIM, and that I did so in front of his loyal gang members who obviously were willing to lie for Brian.
Brian Johnson went as far as claiming to the two police officers, that he was in fear of his life!
What he didn’t know is, that my girlfriend was witnessing the attack and that we recorded the entire incidence. Hence, I’m able to expose his cowardly lies and criminal conduct to the community.
