Thomas & Anne Wojtkowski
NOTES: Tom Wojtkowski is "Luciforo's" Uncle -- or the brother of "Luciforo's" late-mother. He is a former Massachusetts State Representative & Attorney. Anne Wojtkowski is "Luciforo's" Aunt. She is a former Mayor of Pittsfield, Massachusetts & an Attorney.
Backstories:
Tom & Anne Wojtkowski ran the politics behind Berkshire Community College (BCC) in Pittsfield. They were both part of "Luciforo's" many years of conspiratorial layered bullying and persecution of me. They made a former BCC environmental science professor from nearby Becket use his adult daughter to flirt with and then harass me while her father threatened me with many verbal assaults, intimidating finger-pointing, and threats to "stay out of here" and that he was going to assault me. The more this man abused me, the more job security he had a BCC. Moreover, during the same time period that I was being threatened and bullied, "Luciforo" was swearing "ethics" complaints out against my Dad in order to get him fired from his then long-serving courthouse job and force my Dad to resign from his elected seat as a Berkshire County Commissioner. Shortly after "Luciforo's" "ethics" complaints did not ruin my Dad and our family's financial well being, "Luciforo" swore out false complaints to the Pittsfield Police Department that I was threatening him without my Dad's and my own knowledge. "Luciforo" had tried to falsely arrest me and send me Berkshire County Sheriff Carmen Massimiano II's Jail during the Spring & Summer of 1998 when I was only nearly-23-years-old. "Luciforo" started his layered bullying of me during the Spring of 1996 when I was just 20-years-old or nearly 21. "Luciforo's" last bullying minion is Denis E Guyer, who has spread vile, vicious and hate-filled rumors against me to the people of the Pittsfield area. Denis Guyer's rumors are mostly connected to and based on what "Luciforo" did to me in my early-20's in the mid-1990's. "Golddigger" Guyer will NOT admit that he spread the rumors against me, nor will he acknowledge he was acting on "Luciforo's" behalf. That is how Pittsfield Politics is really ran!
-
NOTE: Denis Guyer & I reached an understanding on 1/31/2011 that we are not trying to politically hurt each other and that Denis Guyer may not have spread any rumors against me.

Tim Murray with Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick.

THE BACKSTORY:

"Luciforo" has been very critical of Governor Patrick after he passed over "Luciforo" for the Commissioner of Insurance position in early-2007. "Luciforo" would have resigned his "elected" (& current) seat as Middle Berkshire (Pittsfield) Registrar of Deeds he had just taken a sworn oath of office to serve less than a few weeks beforehand which he won by strong-arming 2 women out of the 2006 state government "election" to anoint himself to his plum $85k per year sinecure funded by the taxpayers. "Luciforo" had to step down from his Berkshire State Senate seat -- the same one the late-Andrea Nuciforo I ("Luciforo's" father) once held prior to becoming Berkshire County Probate Court Judge -- he had disgraced due to his corrupt conflicts of interest with the Insurace Companies' financial industry whom he received hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in special interest campaign contributions from. In the past, "Luciforo" has been quoted in the news media as saying he would someday be elected to US Congress. I believe "Luciforo" is organizing a potential campaign to unseat U.S. Representative John W Olver so he may be elected to Capitol Hill to serve the Insurance Companies' financial industry in Washington, D.C. I, Jonathan Melle, hope to STOP "Luciforo's" political career in its tracks!

Re: Nuciforo's night kicking off his campaign for US Congress

I hope to support Luciforo's opponent(s) for US Congress when he runs in 2012. I have followed Pittsfield's Inbred, Dark Political Prince's corrupt political career since he ran for Berkshire State Senator beginning in the Spring of 1996 when I watched & supported my Dad's run for Berkshire County Commissioner at State & Local Democratic Party forums. Nuciforo has layered his bullying of me for over 13 years now because I am loyal to my Dad and also because I am a free thinker who believes in Human Rights for ALL Peoples, grassroots American democracy, and social justice. From being threatened and harassed by Luciforo's minions to being fired from a job at a bank by one of Luciforo's minions to Dalton State Representative Denis E Guyer acting on Luciforo's behalf by spreading vicious, hate-filled and false rumors against me year after year after year, Nuciforo has shown himself to be a top-down, corrupt, dirty and phony politician. Aside from my personal experiences with Luciforo, I have watched him commit illegal conflicts of interest as a private Corporate Attorney for big banks & insurance companies in Boston while at the same time chairing the legislative financial committees that regulated these same companies. Luciforo was filling his campaing coffers with 6 figures, always planning a future run for US Congress. I also watched Luciforo strong-arm 2 women candidates from the 2006 Massachusetts State Government "election" he anointed himself to as Middle Berkshire Pittsfield Registrar of Deeds. Luciforo is the product of a political family with law degrees. His father was a State Senator & Probate Court Judge in Pittsfield. His Aunt was a former Mayor of Pittsfield. His Uncle was a former State Representative. Luciforo controls the political apparatus in Pittsfield Politics. He is a career politician who wields his power in unethical, corrupt and cruel ways. When I was collecting campaign signatures to run against Luciforo in early-2004, many people wanted to but declined to sign my nomination papers because they did not want to lose their jobs, which is exactly what Luciforo tried to do to my Dad by filing multiple "ethics" complaints against him before trying to jail me during the Spring of 1998. Luciforo rules via FEAR! He will retaliate against any and all who oppose him -- something I have experienced many times over. The problem for Luciforo is that Massachusetts 1st Congressional District in much bigger than Pittsfield! Luciforo will lose to Olver or Rosenberg in Northampton & Amherst, Massachusetts. Luciforo will lose to Neal in Springfield. Luciforo will lose to McGovern in Worcester. However, I am 100% sure that Luciforo will play dirty politics against Congressman John W Olver, Amherst State Senator Stan Rosenberg, Congressman Richard Neal, and/or Congressman Jim McGovern. Luciforo will continue to do whatever is necessary to win! I hope to legally & legitimately STOP Luciforo in his political tracks!

Re: Open letter to Mary E Carey - Round 2 Rings!

Dear Mary E Carey,

You are my favorite journalist EVER! Your voice sings for the voiceless. I remember when you posted my letter predicting Andrea F Nuciforo II (aka Luciforo) would take on US Congressman John W Olver.

www.ongeicocaveman.blogspot.com/2007/09/classic-jonathan-melle.html

Anyways, you posted my words predicting the future...

"What John Olver and Jon Melle have in common is Nuciforo's dirty politics. I hope that John Olver realizes what is coming and will protect more than his own interests--i.e., guard at least my parents in their coming times of hardships. I don't care what happens to me in all of this. Bash me around, spit on my face, slander my name all over the place. I will still be there, standing tall, helping my parents and John Olver during their difficult times of need. I have been through Nuciforo's dirty politics ten years ago, and I am ready and willing to face him in Round #2!"

ROUND #2 RINGS!

Jonathan A. Melle

P.S. Mary, Did you see what Denis E Guyer posted over a year after on the above or aforementioned Blog page you published?

Denis Guyer gave himself away via his profile!

www.blogger.com/profile/16501497167065540290

Denis Guyer is such a scum! He is a dirty politician doing Luciforo's bidding!

Maybe Prosecutor Brett HarpsTERD will call Golddigger Guyer as an anti-character witness against me.

I still wish you would cover my trial by jury! I believe you would win a Pulitzer Prize in journalism.

NOTE: Denis Guyer & I reached an understanding on 1/31/2011 that we are not trying to politically hurt each other and that Denis Guyer may not have spread any rumors against me.

If U.S,. Rep. John W. Olver, left, of Amherst, seeks reelection next year, as he says he will, he could conceivably face the likes of U.S. Rep. James P. McGovern, of Worcester, center, and Berkshire Register of Deeds Andrea Nuciforo of Pittsfield.

"U.S. Rep. John Olver's re-election plans could help save 2 congressional districts in Western Massachusetts"
By Dan Ring, The Republican, October 24, 2011

U.S. Rep. John W. Olver is at an age when most people are retired. His wife is also seriously ill.

Yet the 75-year-old Olver emphasized again last week that he is planning to run for re-election next year to the 1st Congressional District post he’s held since 1991.

Olver might be forced into a matchup with U.S. Rep. James P. McGovern, a Worcester Democrat, according to the latest congressional redistricting rumor on Beacon Hill.

While the leaders in the state Legislature who control the redistricting process are tight-lipped, it seems a different theory is being floated every week about plans to consolidate the state's 10 congressional districts into nine. One of the more recent theories is that Olver's district of more than 100 smaller cities and towns would be merged into McGovern's district, which is dominated by Worcester, and U.S. Rep. Richard E. Neal's Springfield-based district would be left as the only one headquartered in Western Massachusetts.

People are paying closer attention because the state Legislature is planning to vote on a new congressional map before it ends formal sessions for the year on Nov. 16.

“You know I’m running,” Olver, an Amherst Democrat, said last week. “My intent is to run. I’m operating on that basis.”

Olver is awaiting the new congressional districts map and will not speculate about possible outcomes, his campaign director added.

Another possible opponent for Olver, Andrea F. Nuciforo of Pittsfield, a former state senator for 10 years, said he wants to keep a district similar to the existing 1st congressional district.

"That would be true to the tradition of the district and would maintain two congressional districts in Western Massachusetts and a district with small towns and small cities," said Nuciforo, a Democrat and currently register of deeds in Pittsfield who is planning to run for Congress next year.

Massachusetts is losing a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives because of shifting population trends documented in the 2010 federal census.

Each new congressional district in Massachusetts must include about 727,000 people, up from the current 635,000. Nuciforo said about 80,000 people could be added to the 1st congressional district including Northampton, Hadley and South Hadley.

Could Olver's re-election plans help salvage two congressional districts based in Western Massachusetts?

Timothy L. Vercellotti, associate professor of political science and director of the polling institute at Western New England College in Springfield, said that if Olver were stepping down, it would give state legislators a license to merge his district with another.

“Even if he’s bluffing - and I have no reason to believe that he is - it makes political sense to say you are running,” Vercellotti said. “If there is a chance he is going to run again, it makes sense for him to behave that way.”

Olver turned 75 last month; his wife, Rose, a professor at Amherst College, was diagnosed in March with ovarian cancer. Olver has said age would not be a factor in his decision to seek re-election to another two-year term.

The sprawling 1st Congressional District, represented by Olver since a special election that followed the death of longtime Republican U.S. Rep. Silvio O. Conte, is in the crosshairs of the state Legislature’s Joint Committee on Redistricting.

The future of Olver's district is in doubt because it had the slowest population growth of any of the state's 10 congressional districts. Statistics released by the U.S. Census Bureau show that the population of the 1st congressional district increased by only 1.65 percent since 2000, mostly because of Berkshire County, whose population fell by 2.8 percent to 131,219.

His district could be abolished in any event, but if Olver retired after 20 years in Washington before the committee votes on congressional redistricting, it would likely doom hopes for preserving two seats in Western Massachusetts, analysts have said.

The committee plans to release its proposed map for consolidating the state’s 10 congressional seats into nine early next month, according to state Sen. Stanley C. Rosenberg, D-Amherst, the Senate chair of the redistricting committee.

Analysts said that if Olver or another incumbent retired, it would make it much easier for the committee to carve up a district. All 10 U.S. representatives from the state are Democrats, and all are planning to run for re-election next year, meaning the overwhelmingly Democratic state Legislature needs to eliminate the district of a leader from their own political party.

The committee could also merge the seats south of Boston held by U.S. Reps. William R. Keating, D-Quincy, who is a freshman, and Stephen F. Lynch, D-Boston.

There is also talk of creating one seat in Western Massachusetts out of the districts now represented by Olver and Neal.

Jeffrey Berry , professor of political science at Tufts University, said Olver’s re-election plans make it less comfortable for the redistricting committee to chop up his district. It could also help make the final map more fair to Western Massachusetts, Berry said.

“He has leverage by saying he is going to run,” Berry said.

Olver’s seniority and clout could also help save his district, now the largest in the state with 107 communities; it spans from the New York state line east to Fitchburg and Leominister and includes Holyoke, Pittsfield and Westfield.

Olver is No. 4 in seniority in the state’s U.S. House delegation, right behind Neal at No. 3. Olver is the ranking Democrat of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and the only member of the delegation on the House Appropriations Committee.

Rosenberg said the redistricting process has been more difficult because all 10 congressmen have decided to run for re-election. In a speech earlier this month before the Longmeadow Democratic Town Committee, he said it is very rare that two people over the age of 70 would chose to run for re-election, referring to Olver and Barney Frank, D- Newton, who is 71.

The co-chairs of the redistricting committee, Rosenberg and Rep. Michael Moran, a Boston Democrat, said the committee has been working on completing new district maps for the state House of Representatives and the state Senate. Those maps for state seats were released on Tuesday, freeing panel members to turn to congressional redistricting.

Rosenberg said Friday the committee will start to do “real work” on a new congressional map within the next week.

“We have a number of concept maps,” Rosenberg said of congressional redistricting. “Every member of Congress is running against another member of Congress in one or another of these concept maps.”

Rosenberg said there is a lot of speculation about the committee’s work on congressional redistricting, but no decisions have been made. Rosenberg declined to speculate on any different outcomes being tossed around in the media.

"Register reforms went nowhere: 2011 proposal would have eliminated seven elected positions"
By Douglas Moser Staff writer, Newburyport News, February 15, 2016

LAWRENCE — After the Northern Essex register of deeds was found to be spending only a half day in the office, state Sen. Stanley Rosenberg, D-Amherst, proposed eliminating seven elected registers of deeds positions.

That was in 2011 and at that time he said the proposal was in response to the revelation that former Northern Essex Register of Deeds Robert F. Kelley ran errands, worked at his private law firm and drank during registry hours.

An investigation by The Eagle-Tribune, sister paper of The Daily News, just found that Kelley’s successor, M. Paul Iannuccillo, averaged just under four hours per day at work since last summer. But Rosenberg, now the Senate president, would not comment on whether he still supports such a proposal in light of another register of deeds found to be spending short hours in the office.

“Senate President Rosenberg expects all who work for the people of Massachusetts to uphold the highest standards,” Peter Wilson, Rosenberg’s press secretary, said in an emailed statement. “He has no comment on the story.”

Wilson did not respond to general questions about Rosenberg’s proposal and would not make Rosenberg available for an interview.

Rosenberg’s 2011 proposal went nowhere. But the Legislature in July 2012 created a committee called the Registry of Deeds Modernization and Efficiency Commission authorized with, among other things, examining “possible efficiencies including, but not limited to, eliminating duplicitous management, including elected registry positions.”

The commission was comprised of three registers of deeds appointed by Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin. Galvin, who was also on the commission, opposed consolidation. It also comprised six state legislators and four people appointed by the governor.

It ultimately did not recommend consolidating any of the registries of deeds.

John L. O’Brien, the Southern Essex Register of Deeds in Salem, said he opposed eliminating elected register positions in 2011. But he said the pace of technological change — as opposed to any given scandal — could be what builds the pressure to reform the number and concept of a registry of deeds.

Electronic filing and searching, as well as other projects in the pipeline, already have forced, and will continue to force, registries to downsize office space and staff. And ultimately some smaller registries, established in the horse-and-buggy days, as O’Brien put it, may not be needed.

“Whether people want to take away their right to vote for their register of deeds in northern Essex, that’s something for their legislators up there to decide,” O’Brien said in an interview Thursday. “But I honestly think the day is coming when we’re all going to be taking a hard look at this.”

Rosenberg’s 2011 proposal would have eliminated seven elected registry of deeds positions, leaving just one per county. All 21 existing offices would have remained open.

Several counties, including Essex, Middlesex and Worcester counties, have two registries of deeds, each registry run by its own elected register of deeds. Two counties, Berkshire and Bristol, have three.

Registers of deeds pushed back against the proposal, saying their offices provide a service close to home for constituents in geographically large counties. Registries of deeds keep official copies of critical real estate transaction documents, including property deeds, mortgages, transfers and others.

Rosenberg in 2011 said in published interviews that his proposal was not aimed at a potential rival for an opening congressional seat. Former Congressman John Olver had announced his retirement, and Andrea F. Nuciforo Jr. of Pittsfield, then the Berkshire Middle District register of deeds and a former state senator, announced he would run for the Democratic nomination for Olver’s seat.

Rosenberg ultimately did not run for Congress.

Nuciforo lost the three-way Democratic primary race to the eventual general election winner, Congressman Richard Neal of Springfield, whose district was altered when Massachusetts lost a congressional seat in the redistricting process that follows the U.S. Census every 10 years.

February 24, 2023

In the early-1990s, my brother and I were both students at Pittsfield High School and we walked all around Pittsfield passing out campaign materials supporting John Olver for U.S. Congress. My brother texted me today after we learned the news today of Olver's very recent passing away at 86 years old yesterday on 23-February-2023. My brother reminded me of that time in our then-teenage lives growing up in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. When my dad, Bob, had his inauguration in early-1997 as an elected Berkshire County Commissioner, Congressman John W. Olver gave the keynote address in the chamber of the Pittsfield Superior Court a little over 26 years ago now. My dad, who is now 78 years old, said to me tonight that he always thought that John Olver was an honorable man. I said to my mom, who is now 76 years old, and my dad tonight that John Olver must have been an honorable man because "Luciforo" notoriously wanted him to die for the past 20 years now. My mom said that is because Nuciforo is a bad man. I said to my mom and dad tonight that it was in the newspapers for years that Congressman John Olver used to put "Luciforo's" hand on his wrist and sarcastically tell Nuciforo that he was still alive. My mom said that is because John Olver knew that Nuciforo wanted him to die so that Nuciforo could run for his elected position as a U.S. House of Representative from Western Massachusetts. Of course, even when Nuciforo served as an alleged-illegal double dipper Pittsfield State Senator from 1997 - 2006, while he also at the same time worked as a Corporate Attorney for Boston's big banks and insurance companies from 1999 - 2006, Nuciforo never lived in Western Massachusetts because he has always lived and worked in Boston. Nuciforo had no business being a Pittsfield State Senator back then. Nuciforo had no business running for U.S. Congress from Western Massachusetts in 2012. Congressman John Olver retired from politics in 2012 after he lost his Congressional District to redistricting in the 2012 midterm elections. Nuciforo lost by 40 percentage points to PAC Man Richie Neal in the 2012 primary, and Olver, along with the Dirty Bird (Berkshire Eagle), endorsed Congressman Richard Neal back then. "Luciforo" went on to build his Pot Kingdom on Dalton Avenue in Pittsfield since March 2017, and he would later open a marijuana dispensary in East Boston. In closing, my thoughts about the late Congressman John W. Olver's life is that he was, indeed, an example of an honorable man, which is evidenced by "Luciforo's" disregard for him and anyone else who "Luciforo" wanted to hurt for Nuciforo's own political, business and personal gain. Rot in Hell, "Luciforo"! Rest in Peace, Congressman John W. Olver.

"The biggest challenge Pittsfield faces is putting its fiscal house in order. The problem is that doing so requires structural changes in local government, many of which I have advocated for years, but which officials do not have the will to implement. Fiscal responsibility requires more than shifting funds from one department to another. Raising taxes and fees and cutting services are not the answer. Structural changes in the way services are delivered and greater productivity are the answer, and without these changes the city's fiscal crisis will not be solved."

James M. Ruberto

"Pittsfield's biggest challenge is to find common ground for a better future. The city is at a crossroads. On one hand, our quality of life is challenged. On the other hand, some important building blocks are in place that could be a strong foundation for our community. Pittsfield needs to unite for the good of its future. The city needs an experienced businessman and a consensus builder who will invite the people to hold him accountable."
