tom grelish 3


Thursday is the wake for Tom Grelish a jounalist who ran a small local paper, who when my targeting started helped me and even wrote in his local paper about Torigian,, he believed me,, he supported me until Torigian went after him as well cutting off his papers revenue,,, I went to visit him and his wife told me not to come back they had lost to much revenue. I believed that, she believed it was because of me,,, this is what kind of a fucker this family is, ,,,,

now,,, because of these posts THE daughter is in full attack mode,,,, my family is all being targeted by this monstrous bitch who lives on Griffen rd with her deputy fire chief husband who got his job for marrying the bosse's daughter. I unfortunately live down the street,,, It amazes me ther're many in Peabody who hate what the Torigian family has done to people in this town such as the above individual , Tom,who spoke out and suffered for it,,, but there are many in this town who are more than willing to support Torigian and his daughters and are more than willing to do violence to silence the truth and silence anything you might want to say about the truth..sounds despotic to me..

From Bob croce tribute to Tom Grelish on his website,,,


Just when Mayor Peter Torigian had managed to control all of the local media spin, and totally influence every editorial written about Peabody in the Salem News, along came Tom Grelish. At first, Tom was just telling the truth about Powerful Pete, and his very controlling ways, even dubbing him the “Emperor.” And when Torigian got his revenge by not allowing The Citizen to benefit from a lucrative legal notice ad business, it become Grelish vs. the City of Peabody.

When local businesses and residents come before the City Council for special permits and variances, they are required – at their own expense – to publish a legal notice in any local newspaper of their choosing. But during Torigian’s rein, the city wouldn’t offer residents and businesses the option of posting their ads in The Citizen. What it meant too was that residents would be forced – at a higher cost – to publish their legals in the Salem News, a paper that always painted the Torigian Administration in a very positive light.
While Tom Grelish was hailing Torigian as the Emperor, Salem News editorial page editor Nelson Benton was throwing roses at the mayor’s feet..

Tom Grelish fought this legal ad injustice in court, and not only won the right to run the ads, but also took the city for thousands of dollars in damages.
“It was a very big moment not only for The Citizen, but for small newspapers everywhere. We got national attention for that one,” Tom told me last fall. “As a newspaper guy it was a pretty proud moment for me. The citizens of Peabody also got a much less-expensive choice for their legal ads.”

Godspeed to a guy who defined everything a local weekly newspaper should be; Tom Grelish, dead at 63

By Bob Croce, EOP Publisher He was the perfect old-school local newspaper publisher, equally comfortable with posting Little League scores as he was with taking on powerful politicians. He believed in a mix of community news, pictures of Brownie troops and senior citizens at a dance. But also wouldn't hesitate to take on any politician, […]
