Where is town counsel now? It seems that merely losing the lawsuit was not enough for us. Then we failed to appeal and failed to abide by the ruling of the court. It seems clear that we are in contempt of a lawful order and seem to also remain involved in discriminatory and retaliatory employment acts against Don for having the audacity to hold our feet to the fire. He won because he was right and the BOS was wrong. The more important point, but perhaps less noticeable in the attached letter than we are willingly in contempt, indifferent, ignorant or arrogant, is that we apparently also lied or deceived the court in direct testimony.

According to testimony from Mr. Sanguinet (past acting town administrator and then assistant TA under Andrews) testified the settlement money was in escrow. If true, why have we not paid Mr. Bliss? Where is the money? Surely Mark Andrews would not have the money in his possession and then by refusing to pay it as ordered, expose the town to further losses and litigation. Certainly he would have informed the BOS of his inaction on this matter?

There are only three reasons for Don Bliss not being paid if the money was truly in escrow, as sworn to by Sanguinet: incompetence, arrogance or perhaps Mark Andrews has spent the money and is waiting for the new fiscal year to begin next week so he can continue a financial shell game. Perhaps Andrews spent the money for the Bliss judgment and maybe a lot more as well to cover mismanagement or other budgetary shortfalls which he fails to report and he now plans to use money from the next year’s 2012 budget to go back an balance the books for 2011. If this is true, a biblical shortfall will appear next year when hopefully, Andrews is merely a bad memory for Wareham.

Ask yourself this simple question: based on Wareham's history of legal, managerial, executive and fiscal missteps, if it were you looking for fairness from Wareham, do you think you would get it? If you can not answer “yes” to that question then mayhap we need some changes around here and it could begin with Mark Andrews and his.

Again, this is not a Lynne Road issue or even a Don Bliss issue. This is evidence of what many believe to be a systemic managerial problem of non compliance, non service, non disclosure and manipulation in our Town.
