Bobo, what did you say again, oh right Andrews should have publicly acknowledged his past, the selectmen were testing him to see if he'd bring it up and were shocked he didn't and you'd be stunned if he got hired now.

Get ready to backpeddle like a good little Brucey bitch.

Can anyone explain how a dude with two alleged DUI related arrests gets put in the highest administration spot in town, but a dude with a bar suspension gets tossed?  Neither one is good but seems like the bar suspension is not as bad as this.

Oh well, screw it, the town's a sinking ship anyway.

Too bad the selectmen didn't think to call in the local MADD and SADD groups to explain their decision.

What I found interesting was the obvious tension between the bos during this meeting. Janie telling Bruce to "let me finish" was a gem. Since the meeting started a little late, were they in exec. session ahead of time? Tempers were close to the surface, that's for sure.

The discussion over the committee appointment was embarrassing. You don't hold a position open because someone is thinking of applying. I feel bad for Ms. Gay (?) that they were going to appoint. Then they did appoint her against Brucie's choice to wait. Nasty business. Who would want to serve on any committee if there is a chance for public humiliation? I've actually been told by some people they won't apply because of the "dreaded" interview on Tuesday Night Live.

Then the nasty business over the auto dealer licenses. That discussion was painful to watch.


Seems to me like not all is well in Selectman-ville. 

As to the vote on the guy with the DUI history? Why not be consistent. If you rescind a job offer to a library director for losing his license for a year over a decade age, why hire a guy with DUIs to his name? Especially when other qualified candidates are in the pool?

Then ragboy has put them in a tight spot over the library issue. Even if they think it is totally off the wall they have to do something--DA involved?

I believe those of you mentioning K and P about last night's meeting might be mistaken. They kept referring to Atty. Torres who is not a K and P atty. but the town of Taunton's attorney (If I recall) and has been doing work as special counsel for our town$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Finally--Mr. Cruz speaks!!!  I heard at least 5 sentences in a row at one time. Wow.

Didn't they just give the lawbrarian some extra oomph to his potential case against the town?  "You give me the shaft but you hire Boozy?!"

This was a tough one to call - on one hand, I thought maybe they'd realize the public disapproval was overwhelming.  On the other hand, I knew they would not turn down the chance to hire a lackey's lackey.  He has few options, so little room to disagree, so it will just be, "Yes Brucey, whatever you say Brucey."  (You know, what Bobo says every day).

How did that old Abbott & costello routine go?

Yunits on first
Torres on second
K & P on third

and the taxpayers are left out!

STILL NO SPIN ABOUT THE TA YET FROM BOBO.

The selectmen were testing him and were "Shocked" he didn't announce his background publicly, "we would be stunned" if he got the job, he said.
