What Is It With Some Dog Owners In Hudson? Is It Time For Dog Poop DNA Testing?

This is the same location that a recent HUDseen article focused on showing several full dog poop bags on the ground in late November.

Introducing The Real Mayor of Hudson! [A rare HUDseen reposting for those who missed it the first time!]

I am reposting this article which was originally published on September 11th -- just prior to HUDseen's short hiatus -- to be sure every reader has a chance to read it.  I recently heard from a reader that another HUDseen reader had not been aware of this article because my blog went blank for a few months soon after it was published.  I'd hate to think anyone in Hudson doesn't have a chance to read this because it got lost in the shuffle.  If you have read it already, thank you.  Now go and spread the word to vote this guy out of City Hall and get us a city manager instead!

Two weeks ago, I spoke with that "other reader" who eventually did get to read the article.  His reaction to the article was pointed:  "Kamal should resign because of this."

Here it is, in early 2025, unchanged from nearly 4 months ago:

There's so much to say about this issue, so I will try my best to keep it short.  It's difficult to think this is happening in the year 2024, but it is, and the story needs to be told.

Our mayor's personal vehicle was issued seven parking tickets last year, 4 for parking on the wrong side of Union Street overnight and 3 for meter violations on Warren Street during the week.  He didn't pay for a single one of those 7 tickets. 

How Much Did This Failure Cost Us? Has Rob Perry or His Foreman Learned Anything From It?

On Wednesday, December 18th, I noticed a DPW crew filling in a large hole in the westbound lane of Columbia Street at 4th Street that had been excavated several days earlier and where, during the same time, trucks and cars had not been allowed to drive while work was taking place (one lane was available through the intersection).  That day or the next, I believe, the final coat of asphalt was installed.  Trucks, tractor trailers and cars soon began rolling over it.  DPW was done with that project, it seemed.
