I like the article's primary thrust that reform is needed, but feel they should have endorsed Cara Winslow, who ran a solid campaign in her prior attempt at office.  If the number of campaign signs is any indicator, she seems to have more support than Frank DeFilice.   

I do believe that Mr. DeFilice will certainly make a fine candidate come spring of next year, but had hoped he would recognize the possible dilemma of a three-way split of the reformer vote and decide to sit this one out and obtain some greater name recognition in the interim.  In any event, I wish all three challengers well, and fervently hope that two of them gain enough votes to replace the incumbents.

I could have sworn that I just heard a big ol' can of Jeer Juice opening!

I just cant seem to logically understand how members of our community continue to support these officials that have had horrible work ethics, run in's with the law, ethics violations (free dirt and landscaping), uncontrolled spending habits on pet projects during one of the most difficult financial time in history, treating residents poorly during citizens participation, right off the top:
Example #1  Mr. Holmes trying to have some questions answered about Crimewatch,
Example #2  Mr. Baptiste also attempted to address some concerns about Crimewatch,
Example #3  Mr. Flarhaty (who supports the current admin.) was talked to like he was some kind of idiot when he addressed the board. 
The videos from all three of these individuals are available on this site, see for yourself. 
If we were talking about any joe schmoe on the streets with the same history as some of our selectmen you would want them tossed in the slammer and throw away the key, but in Wareham we are showing that these actions are acceptable.   

Please, try to think of one real big change that (they) as a board have accomplished that the majority of everyone on both sides of the fence can agree on, I cant honestly think of one thing.

Make no mistake about it, look where DeFelice's signs are, he is in this race to split the vote, I am not surprised at all that the S-T would endorse him. He is an angry man who said at OPL that he is running because he couldn't get picked for a Board or Committee. He has no management skills (Holmes) and he has no leadership skills (Winslow). Both Holmes and Winslow are involved in the community. Mr. Holmes through the Lions Club and Mrs. Winslow often volunteers for different events benefiting different causes.
What is sad is that my neighbor told me yesterday that DeFelice is visiting Winslow's supporters and has even had people call her to drop out of the race. My neighbor got such a visit from Mr. DeFelice.
With that said, next year is irrelevant at this point! DeFelice chose to run this year so we need to get out the vote for the candidates who can get the job done.

Focus on April 6th!

Frank Defelice 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
