The four cab companies that regularly operate in Danvers were fines on Tuesday and told they need a license to pick up passengers in Danvers.
There are no licensed cab companies in Danvers and on Tuesday night cabs operating in Danvers were given a $100 fine for picking up a fare in town, reports the Salem News. The cabs were called to the Liberty Tree Mall and when they arrived to pick up a passenger were given a $100 fine, the News said. "We were told if they see us in Danvers, we would be pulled over and be fined again,” the general manager of North Shore Taxi in Peabody Sean McKinnon told the paper. While any taxi companies can drop off fares in town, a license is needed to pick up in Danvers. The sting occurred after concern was raised with Police Chief Neil Oullette earlier this month by the Board of Selectmen. After a bylaw change in 2009, town officials got several …

The four Democrats seeking to win the party's nomination for the Second Essex District seat in the Sept. 6 primary debated at Beverly High School on Thursday night.
Is “revenue enhancement” a code word for taxes? That was one of the questions up for debate on Thursday night by the Democratic Party candidates for state Senate in the Second Essex District, which includes Danvers. It also encompasses Peabody, Salem, Beverly and Topsfield. “You’ll be hearing that a lot tonight,” said Mary-Ellen Manning, after fellow Democrat John Slattery said, in response to a question, that the state needs to invest more in public transportation. Manning said she is against raising taxes to increase funding to important programs. "I don't think that's the first solution, I think that's the last solution," she said, later adding that she instead favors eliminating duplicate services and pork-barrel projects. But Slattery…

So, instead of calling cab companies, we should call Mike Powers 978-750-0543, Keith Lucy 978-777-5789, Dan Bennett 978-774-0296, Gardner Trask 978-774-1338 and Bill Clark 978-774-0550. I think we should have the patch send out a newslink with their phone numbers. Instead of calling the taxi companies, people needing a ride home can now call our selectman. … more ›
