Doesn't one of them reside out of town now?  Isn't that a no-no?  Why isn't The Wareham Observer reporting on that?

My neighborhood held its breath and prayed when the Donahue's put a forsale sign in their yard and cursed audibly when they took it down.

I dunno, commonsense, isn't it always happy news when one of those clowns skip town? Please, though, brighten our day again. Who is it?

Interesting side note: I have never once laid eyes on that weasle Slager. He must only emerge after dark.

Slager comes out when there are large groups of people around, that way he's not recognized.  Although he does have a cozy seat on the sidelines of the Wareham Viking's games.  Even though he has someone else snapping photos.

He also delivers the papers to the largest stores in the area, in hopes not to be seen. I guess he won't be doing that anymore.  At least he still has the many many liquor stores in town to stock his rag.

Too bad he can't spell their names right.

commonsense does he own the house or his mother? may be no difference whatsoever but the factr remains i believe the charter says reside in town.

Thanks for the correction oneeardog.  It was silly of me to think that someone in such a high position in town politics owned their own house.

I believe the charter does say reside.  Hmmm.

That sucks, but the registry requires you change you address within 30 days I believe.  When you change your address, you are supposed to change your voting information.

Yeah, but the issue has surfaced many, many times before, dating back at least to the time (until 1884) when Wareham encompassed what's now Buzzards Bay and Bourne.

The solution is to raise the issue publicly. Like tonight. I'll try, maybe by consoling Brucie on his repo and congratulating Jimbo and his move out of town.

Nope, not at all. I got ruled out of order, but what the hell. Now the whole town knows Potter is no longer a resident.

Hey, I was there.  I heard you.  Too bad you didn't stick around. The moderator was completely out of control giving preferential treatment to the BOS and their cronies.  The anger that he is provoking in people is scary.  I heard people complaining about the conflict of interest with his wife on the BOS but I never saw it until tonight.  it was awful.  The BOS is now the authority about everything.....and the moderator is a first class @##.

The unfortunate thing about Jim moving out of town is that he is the only decent member on the BOS.

Slager and Bruce are probably celebrating as everyone sleeps because the library was voted down....Hey let them rejoice.  The library personnel still has their cars and their business isn't failing.

more of the sametonight with out the audience to call them on it.  rumor is that they will shut down maple springs rd to commercial traffic.  apparently a couple (2) of loudmouths who have brendas ear and full bidding.  guess two instigators with a 500.ooo home gets preferencial treatment to the 150 people on glen charlie rd.  just because i paid 150,000 for my house i guess im just a dirtbag and get no consideration in this

i heard about the bankruptcy rumor and the drinking. what is with the cell phone thing

At the Spring Town Meeting when they were trying to pass giving the BOS members a stipend for serving, Brenda announced that she had just paid a $500.00 cell phone bill because of all the calls related to serving as a BOS...maybe that is why she needed to cry at a meeting because she does not know how to manage her money..boohoohoo

People, come on.  This is a good trend.  We have one selectman moved out of town.  Now if only the other 4 would move out too.
