2Mayor’s Report – October 2021Do The Right Thing (1989)HHHHIn 1714, Parliament passed the Riot Act.It was aimed at groups of over 12 people who were“unlawfully, riotously, and tumultuously assembled together.”If an authority figure asked a rowdy group to disperse, theywere required to go home within one hour. If they were stillthere in an hour, the rioters instantly became felons and violentforce could be used against them. After that hour, anyonewho hurt or killed a rioter was free from prosecution.This is a restrained, sober, and reasonable law.Rioting is one of the most destructive and unforgivablecrimes a person can commit. I am anti-murder, but murder isa fundamental part of the human condition and can’t actuallybe eradicated (ask Cain and Abel).Rioting destroys neighborhoods, businesses, and personalproperty for zero positive gain. It is an ugly consequence ofpacked cities. And it can be eradicated. The first thing we needto do is all agree that rioting is disgraceful and unacceptable.“Do the Right Thing” is part of the problem. Spike Lee’sthird film is a thought-provoking meditation on rioting. It isbursting at the seams with intelligence, intensity, and ambiguity.It is both the most gut-wrenchingly anti-riot and the mostfrightening pro-riot film.The film takes us through one tumultuous summer day in amostly black Brooklyn neighborhood.Spike Lee stars as Mookie: a mild-mannered pizza deliveryguy. Danny Aiello is Sal: proud owner of the neighborhoodpizza shop.The first 2/3 of “Do the Right Thing” is an ensemble comedy.Writer/director Lee tries to show us every little quirkabout black urban life. There’s a scene where the neighborhooddrunk buys a single beer from the Korean grocer with theonly dollar he has. And the scene where the local hothead isfurious because someone scuffed up his new Air Jordans.The film gets deadly serious in the final act, when theneighborhood racial tensions come bubbling to the surface.• • •Residents and Neighbors,Barre City is projecting over a$500,000 surplus for FY22, which isthe largest surplus in decades. Councilfinalized Department Head FY23Budget presentations. Buildings andCommunity Services requested anadditional maintenance person, returnto full-time seasonal staffing and noted both an increase incemetery lot sales and vandalism in City Hall Park. TheRecreation update spoke of previous staffing changes andFY23 cost increase to account for what was covered in theSummer Matters for All grant. Planning currently has Assessorand Permit Administrator vacancies, but is looking to includea new Junior Planning position. Finance noted an increase intraining & development. Clerk Dawes noted only minorchanges in revenue line items, and Manager Mackenzie notedan increase due to an ARPA audit requirement, software andadvertising, and the addition of an IT systems administratorposition.Step 3 of the Community Visit process occurred as a hybridmeeting on October 20th. The official meeting process is nowover for the Community Visit process, but task forces for eachgroup have been established and VCRD resources are availableto assist. The Merchant’s Row redevelopment project ispostponed and will revert back to normal maintenance.CVPSA Chair Dona Bate provided the TelevateCommunications report detailing the needs for upgrades tothe police, fire and EMS radio systems. Washington CountySubstance Abuse Regional Partnership spoke of their threeyearfederal grant focused on substance abuse prevention,excitement for Barre City’s Community Visit decision for acommunity center, and presented the most recent youth riskbehavior survey. Jeff Bergeron discussed his review of theChapter 20 Tree Ordinance, with recommended changes ontree warden duties, clarifying the City’s responsibilities, andprotecting City trees.Council approved Resolution #2021-15 Honoring PoliceChief Timothy Bombardier, emergency BOR Roof RepairContract, Bike-Ped Complete Streets Planning GrantApplication, Elks Club Donation to Fire Department, RoadSalt purchases, Consultant-Led Capital Improvement PlanProcess (CIP), Mayoral Proclamation for Extra Mile Day forthe Barre Rotary, and using surplus funds for an IT Position,roof repair, and traffic calming items.Upcoming items include Locker Searches & Inspection,Volunteer Appointment, Capital Improvement, TemporaryParking and Tax Stabilization Policies.

Council will receive updates from the Charter WorkGroup, Aldrich Library, Barre Area Development, BarrePartnership, Working Community Challenges Update, andMontpelier’s Community Development Program.I hope you all had a great Halloween!Lucas J. HerringMayor, City of BarreFor years, Sal has had a Wall of Fame in his pizza shop thatfeatures great Italian Americans (Pacino, De Niro). The localhothead demands that Sal put some famous black Americansup there. Sal refuses. Another guy enters the pizza shop blastingPublic Enemy’s “Fight the Power” on his boom box. Salloses it and starts yelling racial slurs. A riot ensues.In the film’s most thought-provoking scene, it is mildmanneredMookie who throws the first garbage can through awindow.The unique virtue of “Do the Right Thing” is its inscrutableambiguity. In each character, there is love and hate. Spike Leeencourages us to empathize with every single character – evenwhite guys, even cops. Yet Lee is plainly predicting anAmerican race war, and partially looking forward to it. Thishas been an undercurrent to his films for decades.The one thing missing from “Do the Right Thing” is areminder that riots never help anyone, particularly the riotersand their cause.Do you think the lives of black Americans were improvedby the riots of the mid to late 1960s? Do you think DonaldTrump’s political career was helped by the numbskulls whorioted on January 6th?A lot of people are like Spike Lee and feel a sympathy forrioters who are angry about a good cause. This is the problem.Rioting is always 100% destructive and 0% helpful. I love thismovie. But rioting is absolutely never the Right Thing.Spooky! continued from previous page• • •the door to the porch, he headed out, past the screeching door, night-prowling, costumed, youthful vagabonds, young soulsdown the creaking steps, and toward home.
