THE TOWN DIDNT EVEN GET A CONTRACT FROM TORRES!!!!!!!!!!!! NO CONTRACT!!!!!!!!!!! AND PAID HIM UP FRONT.

THEY WILL DELAY , DELAY , AND DELAY UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION BECAUSE THE AUDIT SHOWS JACK SHIT

NEXT IT WILL BE ITS TOO BUSY WITH TOWN MEETING AND THE NOV ELECTION, THEN THEY WONT BE ABLE TO DO IT AROUND THE HOLIDAYS. AND SO ON AND SO ON.

ALL THOSE NUTJOBS ON SLAGER'S SITE WASTING THEIR DVR SPACE FOR NOTHING.

HEADS SHOULD ROLE, PEOPLE SHOULD BE FIRED!!!!!!

OH IT GETS BETTER:


TORRES DIDNT EVEN DO THE WORK. HE PAID A 3RD PARTY TO DO THE AUDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHO IS THIS THIRD PARTY????

WHAT KIND OF CHAIN OF EVIDENCE IS THIS??????

HOW MANY PEOPLES HANDS HAVE BEEN ON THIS EVIDENCE??????

WHY DIDNT WE JUST PAY THE 3RD PERSON DIRECTLY???? SO TORRES GETS A CUT FOR DOING NOTHING?????????

IHS,

Its a little unclear about what you really feel on this point. Could you clarify your comments, just a bit?

It appears that you want them flagged for Delay of Game  -  which is only a 5-yard penalty.

My thought is that two of them have earned a Game misconduct (hockey) penalty, and should be banished from the action, permanently.

The bad news is that the nearest opportunity is over five months away, in April, 2011.

The good news is that the voters can reappear as that thundering herd that trampled the three blind mice last April.

This little bit of nonsense should enrage & enlarge that ass-kickin' assemblage.

Perhaps this could be discussed during "Citizen's Participation"?

Don't they need to be put on notice that, as Ham stated, patience has run out?

In  prior postings, I noted that of the six items listed in the correspondence from the DA, that five of the six were non-criminal. Nora B. was kind enough to post that listing as a follow-up.

Then why, why, why is it necessary for this Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairies over those five items???? If there is potential for criminal liability on one of the items, then fine. One can understand caution on that point, given possible criminal proceedings. But on the others? NFW.

It seems to me that the BoS has had the info needed to deal with the Fab Five. Then why not just do it and get past it?

It is time to pressure the BoS. And is it time to think "RECALL" ?????  If that is what it takes.....

I would think that the same group would be screaming for the results to be announced????? Why are they not saying a word? Remember, this is "life changing" results.....maybe they are still going over the results with a "fine tooth comb".....

Where is the outrage? Where is the cry for accountability? Where are those seeking transparency from our leaders?

IHS,

He's too busy trying to define the next characterization of Take Back Wareham.

We were a "group".

More recently, we became a "crew".

So. Have we been promoted from Group to Crew? Or, is that a demotion?

This is a question that needs to be addressed by the president of Take Back Wareham. As soon as anyone can identify that individual,  please let me know.

Perhaps the Board of Directors of Take Back Wareham can put this burning question on the agenda for their next meeting. Oh, that would be their first meeting, right?

You see, the thing that BoBo et al can't stand is that a disparate group of INDIVIDUALS came together on an independent basis due to common goals: change the BoS, change the political culture in the Town, and change the influence of the Harlot of Halifax to zero. And, the fact that there has been substantial progress in attaining these goals goes right up their backside like the blades of a hunting arrow.

Take Back Wareham: Individuals committed to good government and progress.

Why is that a problem, BoBo?

They told us Oct. 19.  It's Oct. 19.  No more delays.  No more excuses.  Either the town is presented with an audit tonight, or the town should be presented with Jane and Brenda's immediate resignations.

Again it gets better. Torres has been reported to have been paid over 54,000 dollars in the don bliss case. No resolution on that eithier. It appears that the town is just one big cash cow for humans we as taxpayers are once again paying for brenda and janes vendettas.

The tin-hats take their cues from us..if we say up they say down...or should I say Bobo does, and they just follow. If we want the audit results, they don't..if we don't..they do..just the way it is..Hypocrites all.

NAL..I like your apt description of TBW..could you make up a memo and pass it around at the next (first) meeting, please?

Anyone really surprised about the audit? Incompetence is commonplace.

Always remember..NO MAN can eat fifty eggs!!

Jesus...I guess we have to wait till midnight before we hear about the Hypocrite Elite's incompetence.

Don't worry ham they will bury this around midnight

Hypocrite Elite incompetence!

I'm going to go out on a limb here (but not too far) and suggest that from what I read here from some of you all in the know, Marc Pacheco is from my
old native City so I'm sure he influenced Mr Torres' hiring in some way.  You all speak to how certain officials here in Wareham share a bed with him.  I'm just say'n.
And now there is that lip server of a manager so that's probably one big ole bed.

As to the "audit", I'm retired thirty five years computer forensics so I can tell you beyond any doubt that lawyers have NO business reporting on hard drive audits.  I've watched this closely since last summer and can't figure out why the original forensics company hasn't provided the report.  It's what we do (did).  Something stinks and it has a rotten odor to it.  Again, just say'n.

I'd be want'n to see the contract the town executed with that company.

But Ham,

a "drop dead deadline" of Friday means What?, exactly...

A "report" gets delivered....and then what?

No "report" gets delivered....and do they start over?

This is local Gummint inaction.

This is not good.

Nota,

I can't really figure out what they decided.  It sounds like a Drop Dead Deadline by Friday, but then didn't Brenda chime in and say, well, even if it's by Monday?  We have to be patient, I had to wait 9 months for that pesky DA, blah blah blah.

So...who knows.

Nota, Correction - I am an impatient Ham of Peace, I was just paraphrasing what was said by the Brockton Broad above.

Could someone clarify what I thought I heard last night? I got the impression that there was another party involved doing the work (????a computer forensics group???) and that Torres is only writing an EXECUTIVE SUMMARY.  Perhaps I didn't get it quite right. Did anyone hear this? Please clarify if possible.

Do we know if the other party is a new forensics group or the original? Did the original back out when they realized they were in a nasty quagmire and it would only get worse? Did Torres hire a new forensics company which he will pay from the $7500??? Nothing seems to be transparent about this.

I can say one thing with confidence. This is another example of a bungled, badly mis-managed witchunt. So a year and a half after someone shopped on ebay while on a town computer, there is going to be some sort of punishment? So much of this could have been avoided if the former bos had regrouped when this audit went off the rails. The open meeting violations alone should have made them reconsider. Hubris plus plus plus.

Additionally, Torres was the attorney for both Bliss cases if I heard Jane correctly. So what kind of half-a**ed work did he do on those cases? Another example of bad personnel decisions by the former bos. When will it all end?

I thought this little tidbit of information at the end of the Bagel Bitch's story was a bit disturbing:

(Don't try to erase it, Lackey, the evidence has already been preserved.)

Weiner Boy wrote:

Global Digital Forensics declined to pursue the audit report after the District Attorney's Office became involved.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the impression the public was under was that GDF completed the audit, and the attorney had to be hired to make a final report on whether there was anything in it that could be acted on?

So, now, at least according to the Cream Cheese Tribune (and the word of that shitrag plus 50 cents gets you a cup of coffee), we're being told that GDF never completed the audit report?

So here's the big question - if GDF never finished the job they were hired to do, then why do they get to keep approximately 50-60,000 (however much they were paid) to do a job they, according to the Rag, never finished?

Ham,

The fact that they APPROPRIATED $50-60,000 for Global does NOT mean that they paid out the 50-60K. the contract may have included a weasel clause for just such an event, i.e. the DA's involvement; but still allowing global to bill and get paid for partial completion.

So. Let's all review the contract.

WHAT! No one has seen such a document? Why, How can that be ?????

One of the major, ongoing problems is the near total lack of transparency in the Wareham town gummint. And, the use of an outside law firm (Torres), which subcontracted the forensic work, it appears; tells me that there is more opaqueness coming. The role & function of the lawyer will be to wall off info that the BoS does NOT want to be public, to minimize potential lawsuits, and to spin the data in such a way that the BoS comes out smellin' like a rose.

Open-ness? That's just a concept, right? something to discuss in Civics class. not the real deal in the real world.  get real  & get over it!

Or, you could work for change next April 5, 2011. Vote, yes. But money & TIME will be needed.

Note that Curly, as reported on this blog, is trying to pull a Lazarus. that's a clear signal, is it not? A small victory here, in a meaningless position, can lead to.......what? You do not want to find out, now do you?

IM SURE FALL RIVER SHOULD BE GLAD TO HEAR TORRES IS FRANTICALLY TRYING TO PULL THIS AUDIT OUT OF HIS ASS. I GUESS FALL RIVER IS NOT GETTING HIS FULL TIME ATTENTION RIGHT NOW

Again it was targeted at certain individuals. The hit list. If you weren't on the list your computer wasn't audited. Again the former and two current members of the bos using our tax dollars for their personal vendettas

Yeah, I thought the same thing Bosoxx. He's also irrelevant (See April 6, 2010)..He's an opinion "contributor" to an opinion tabloid..read by hardly anyone. It sure ain't a "newspaper"..even when there's not alot of blogging going on at this site, they still write stories about it/us. How pathetic. Can you imagine ANY other paper basing most of their content on comments coming from a blog?

I'ld say "ignore 'em and they'll go away"..but we all know it won't be that easy. So, instead..come to Town Meeting..and the polls (bring your friends) and vote. Be forewarned...If your votes are based on sound judgement, you'll find these Bozo's are almost always opposed to your conclusions (can't help but recognize the pattern). Don't join 'em, beat them..

It would be very difficult to place a value on the rag...zero comes to mind. No equipment, no office, no presses, nothing. Only the name and reputation of the "paper". Again, value: nothing.
