So the town of Wareham--you and me and our tax dollars--are paying this guy Yunits as a consultant. And this is what he says:

"Yunits said he issued a release stating that there “are no elected officials or town employees who are the target of the investigation at this time.”

“That does not mean that the DA may not change that later,” he said. “Who knows? I’m not part of that investigation so I can not say.”

I'm having a little trouble with the logic. He's not part of the investigation so he can't say what might happen, but he just said there are no elected officials or town employees who are the target of the investigation. And the DAs office is "mum" on the issue. So, he knows this---how?

And then sweet Brucie says, "Selectmen Chairman Bruce Sauvageau said all anyone can do now is sit tight and await word from the DA’s office."

I wonder who he is talking to? Any guesses?

5 guys were laid off(fired) at mm, top 2 seats in the library empty, NO ta.. theres some $ right there..and all the other dept heads positions not filled..

Sounds like the Selectmen went and brought in a better representative to speak for them than Bobo.

Great stuff, Bob. Some of those comments sound like they could have been written about Sweet Brucey.

"You nuts", I like it.

Only in this town (scratch that, only under this BOS) could we have a former Mayor of Brockton on the payroll and not even know.

I think the reporter, Ruth Thompson, did her best to make a convoluted story comprehensible to someone not familiar with how the Wareham BOS operates.

I tried to put myself in the position of someone reading this without any background information.

My conclusion would be that either Yunits or Assistant District Attorney Bridget Norton Middleton lied is now trying to cover it up.

While the DA is close mouthed Yunits sounds like he's trying to add lots of wiggle room to his original unequivocal  press release where he said  “are no elected officials or town employees who are the target of the investigation at this time.”

Now he uses these terms: "I think", "dased on the documents and the evidence I’ve seen presented", “I wouldn’t say that anybody is beyond being investigated",  “I really don’t know what the DA’s office is investigating", and
“that does not mean that the DA may not change that later,”  "who knows? I’m not part of that investigation so I can not say.”

The odd thing is that with amidst those wiggly phrases he still says that the selectmen and the town administrator are not being investigated.

I find it telling that the BOS managed to find a lawyer who was a politician for 10 years. His personal website says he is still mayor even though James E. Harrington was elected mayor of Brockton in 2006.

im confused.. he was a lawyer, his wife worked for his pratice he had w/2 others, he was mayor of brockton, was on the tribal thing?, tried for middleboro TA.. 

is he currently with k&p or is he  a special hire????

Note the BOS only started deferring to their new buddy after a day or so of Ham complaining about why we never heard who the counsel was.

Oh God, Shooter (Not to be confused with Secret Window Shooter or Secret Wareham Shooter), I guess it's ok but you know how Bobo sits around reading the tea leaves, he'll probably think the 5000 means you are Ham.  Oh wait, he thinks everyone is Ham anyway.

We are ALL HAMATRONS...
