A week ago during the Sunday night chat Bobo said that Marcia’s position of social services assistant was formerly held by Jan Rushmon who left the COA a year ago, I think it was downtheroad who agreed with this statement. Wrong again Bobo.

It would be nice if he had the correct name. Her name is Janet Smith Rushton, she left before Marcia started her job at the COA, that was over two years ago. Her title was Coordinator of the Social Day Program.

The job of social services assistant is a new job created for Marcia. It is a new job therefore not a lateral move and it should have been posted. If the people in Bobo’s chat room and are residents of Wareham don’t mind adding another $52,000 to the COA budget when everyone else is doing everything they can to save money good for them they have a right to their opinion.
