I've been looking at these before they were operational, and thought they were cell phone related with those big VERIZON logos stamped on the side. Anyway, good job Salem. A step in the right direction.

Thank you Agenda 21!"Sustainable development" is a good idea,but not when it comes from a global model that does not care about the unique qualities of a city like Salem or any other city.
Salem residents, not the UN, should decide city planning and management.
Please learn about this insidious Orwellian plan by going to the UN website and looking up "Agenda 21" or consult other sources for information.

Salem is 1 of 24 Mass. communities called "Gateway Cities" under Agenda 21. These communities are slated to house 390,000 people in "stack and pack" shoe box apartments, all Agenda 21.
Residents are told, "oh, of course residents will have input on these decisions", but that is a lie because the money is already allocated, the plan already in place and the conclusions already drawn. Often even local mayors or city councils don't understand what Agenda 21 is or it's impact on our lives.
Please look at this because it will effect everyone, especially property owners.

Free Wi-Fi for the gear being stolen on a nightly basis! Yay!

What is the cost to the city, what are the annual operating costs, and what are the savings? If there isn't a cost benefit to the taxpayers then this administration just wasted more money, despite the feel good moment.

Project managers Monday explained that these turbines operate at no cost to the city.

"several new surveillance cameras," ...is it 1984 already?

Windpower, there are many parts to Agenda 21 and until it is defeated init's entirety, no one is safe.It is in every local city or town and people must become aware and learn what it is.

So no one thinks this is a right wing conspiracy, here is a link to Democrats against Agenda 21, led by a liberal Democrat because this issue effects everyone, regardless of politics.

""several new surveillance cameras," ...is it 1984 already?"

Dude, these surveillance cameras are a WELCOME addition to this garage. 3yrs ago my car was parked on top of that roof overnight, right where the new turbines are. Next day I returned to find my driver's side window smashed, glass EVERYWHERE in the interior, and an empty fifth of vodka laying on passenger seat (the projectile). I also was on my way to the airport to catch a flight when I found the mess, so it was super convenient. Many, many other people have also had their windows smashed, cars vandalized, or cars broken into in that garage. It's way overdue, but the City has done a GREAT job installing these cameras.

John, why don't you go back to World Net Daily, I hear they have a good conspiracy theory going on there about Obama being secretly gay, having been secretly married in college (to a gay guy), and - hold it - having also secretly killed this secret gay husband. Oh yeah, their rattling on about the UN too. Should be a treat for you, also bonus, Rick Santorum is a new columnist there. Enjoy!

Rachel Maddow,...she is funny.

I've tried to inform people with regard to Agenda 21, but rather than do their own research, I got ridicule, talk of "conspiracy", I gave a link which showed who is funding it and how it gets to your local city council. This is a complicated issue and it was done that way on purpose. Clearly, this all crazy talk, so pay no attention.

Let's talk about something meaningful,...Hey, what should Kate name her baby?

Bill. Because I have studied this, I know of the dangers, but I presented the info and people can draw their own conclusions, but ask yourself, if there is no threat why did Carver, Mass. kick them out as well as the state of Alabama, in addition to many other communities once they learned all of the facts?

Ok now I am confused with the statement ...free wifi... For whom?

Andy, you clearly are in sync with George Bush sr., who adopted Agenda 21 in 1992 right up to Obama. You are both naive and ill informed as to what Agenda 21 is,...or maybe you're not, which makes you a globalist eugenicist control freak who believes a one size fits all global UN model is good and that citizens are not capable of managing city planning or resources taking into account the unique qualities of say, a city like Salem, that those decisions should be left to faceless, nameless bureaucrats because they have our best interest at heart,...is that right?

Free wifi for businesses in the area from the city? Wheres my free wifi. How about trying to light street lights instead of giving the benifit away to a select group. I wonder if the hotel gets the free wifi?

Andy, Only someone who is woefully ignorant of the facts believes as you do,...enjoy your bliss.

To those reasonable people,I urge you to look at Agenda 21. There are some good YouTube videos or go find it on the UN website.
Don't take my word please check it out yourself.
There is a growing grass roots movement against Agenda 21 and the state of Alabama banned it along with communities from California to Mass.
Look at it and you will know why.
