What?!  The Hypocrite Elite broke the law?!  The hell you say!

Given the fact that the bylaw had already been appealed, the ruling has no practical application to Wareham, but it does provide valuable information. The AG didn't rule that the concept of the bylaw was illegal. The issue was with the language of the article. It didn't properly define what "net-zero" nitrogen is. Add that language to a new article and the legal hurdle will be cleared.

THATS RIGHT FOLKS YOU WILL HAVE TO DEFEAT THIS ONCE AGAIN NEXT TOWN MEETING COURTESY OF ADVICE FROM A NON LAWYER

Here's a few fun quotes in light of the AG's decision:

“The hand-out given to you was a lie,” Pacewicz told the audience on Tuesday. "It was a lie and could have swayed voters into voting for the article by stating it was illegal."

How this blowhard can get up and blab on without feeling embarrassment is amazing.

They said the bylaw was unenforceable when they knew the Attorney General’s office hadn’t made that determination yet.

When will Bobo learn to listen to people who are smarter than he is?  Oh wait, that's everyone.

"The repeal of the Nitrogen Net Zero Bylaw at last night's Wareham Town Meeting demonstrates the shortsightedness of some of the residents of Wareham.  Nitrogen pollution is not going to go away on its own, and if irresponsible developers continue unchecked, it is just going to get worse. Again we see that the special interest groups who oppose the nitrogen bylaw have no concern for the future implications on the health, environment and financial welfare of the Town of Wareham. These individuals offer no alternative solution to the worsening problem of nitrogen pollution. They do not want any solutions which may require them to pay their fair share of addressing the nitrogen problem. They want to continue to burden the residents of Wareham  and force the residents to keep paying, through sewer betterment fees, to clean up their nitrogen pollution as they continue to stuff their pockets with the profits from their developments."

Wow, accusations of "pocket stuffing" without a shred of evidence.  Division of the town, Move Wareham Forward-style.

Worst Reporter on the Face of the Earth wrote:

The other absurd claim is that the “net-zero” nitrogen article is illegal. Since the Board of Health regulations was never written as town meeting mandated there is nothing to deem illegal. Some have claimed that the “net-zero” nitrogen article itself was illegal. That would be up to the Attorney General to decide. The logical question, of course, is if people believe the AG’s office will ultimately rule the article illegal than why would it be necessary to create a petition article to repeal it? If the AG’s office rules the initial article illegal that would effectively accomplish the same goal.

Wait, what's the first sentence of that quote?

Oh what a good laugh.  The only absurd claim is Bobo's claim that he's a reporter.  What an idiot.
