7) Standard Times column calling Brucey's leadership "disastrous" and that he is "undeserving of reelection."

OUR VIEW: Wareham, throw the bums out
April 02, 2010 12:00 AM

Wareham voters have a chance to set things right again on Tuesday.

They will elect two members of the Board of Selectmen. The incumbents are Bruce Sauvageau and John Cronan, whose leadership has been disastrous for the community. Neither deserves re-election.

Sauvageau and Cronan have bullied critics and opponents, presided over a municipal government that is secretive and vindictive, conducted a witch hunt against demoralized town employees, made key hiring decisions behind closed doors, and routinely refused to answer questions or provide information about the public's business.

In so doing, they have made Wareham's municipal government a laughingstock that has stoked uncivil conduct and anger between rival factions. They have driven away talented employees, refused to allow any real public involvement in the hiring of either a new town administrator or a new chief of police, and cost the town money in lawsuits stemming from their bad decision-making.

Good leadership can change all that, and we urge every Wareham voter to make sure he or she casts a vote Tuesday. Because Sauvageau and Cronan are incumbents, they will be certain to make sure their supporters go to the polls. So if the turnout is low, the incumbents will have an advantage. A heavy turnout — above 5,000 voters — should benefit the three challengers.

All three would make excellent selectmen and bring a needed change to the board's makeup and functioning. All three promise to eliminate the back-room decision-making that Sauvageau and Cronan relish.

But because there are three challengers — Frank DeFelice, Stephen Holmes and Cara Winslow — there is a chance that the three challengers will split the vote of those who are fed up with the current Board of Selectmen. That might mean either or both Sauvageau and Cronan would be re-elected, which would be the worst possible outcome.

Therefore, we are endorsing Holmes and DeFelice and urge Wareham voters to vote for both.

Holmes is a businessman with excellent financial and personnel management experience. He will watch out for voters' wallets and opposes any general tax increase because the voters cannot afford it. He has witnessed firsthand the abusive tactics of the current Board of Selectmen and speaks forcefully and convincingly of the need for a new way to do business.

DeFelice has served as a selectman and zoning officer in Milton, N.H., and works for the town of Eastham as building inspector and assistant health agent. He is campaigning on the restoration of civility and transparency in municipal government, which have been missing in Wareham under the current regime on the Board of Selectmen.

Both are good candidates, and we urge Wareham residents to take back their town and vote for Stephen Holmes and Frank DeFelice.

my gaud bruce is a physco, he should not be a selectmen , he should be carted off in a straight jacked to the lonney bin.

It's proved impossible in recent months to get answers to pressing questions.

I have a few here. The rest, if there isn't time, I'll post to my site tonight.

-What part of the town's budget paid for the computer audit?

-Mr. Sauvageau, any resolution with the govt on your tax liabilities?

-Persistent reports of spousal abuse at your residence have surfaced time and again for years. Care to comment?

Excuse Me?!?

Sweet Brucey on the ruling that bloggers don't have the same protection as journalists:

By the way to bad for incognito et al. re; federal ruling on blogger's being subject to the same defamation laws as everyone else.

1)  Learn how to spell Brucey.

2)  A new ruling that says bloggers can't hide behind fake anonymous sources and he thinks we should be worried?  Bobo's the one who should be shitting his pants right now with all the potential lawsuits this ruling just opened up for him.

ya mean none of the above is nottrue mr brucey, ya mean one of your family cars was not insured and that you were not driving with out a drivers licence or did not yield to an ambulance that had its siren on or said f you to a cop  on a detailor park in handicapeed parking places ,well all the above are true.

His interpretation of the new law is totally incorrect.

Read it again, numb nuts, EVERY word, look at the Legislative intent and the lack of specifics. It is vague and arbitrary at best.

You, or I, or anyone of us, will never see a case based on the law directed at anyone we know.

Bruce does continue to amaze me with his pseudo-knowledge of the law. I understand he has not TAKEN the Bar, thereby, technically has not "not passed" the exam.

Take it ass-face. If you pass it, all of us will shut up and admire you. If you don't (which you won't) then we will be proven right.

I think he is scared to take it. Why would you spend so many years, at that age, and not want to take the Bar and become a lawyer? It doesn't make sense, unless you went to some half-assed school  and you know you can't possibly pass the damn thing.

Who financed your education? Don't they want you to take the freakin' thing so you can show them they didn't piss their money away?

The delusional world still exists, apparently, with the cult.

When he runs for Selectman, ask him to produce his transcripts from whatever school he attended.

The results should be about equal to the number of votes he will receive, if he is dumb enough to actually run.

Hello bloggers.  Just bumping up the Sweet Brucey chronicles to remind everyone what an incompetent schmuck Sweet Brucey is since he says he'll be pulling his papers when he gets back from Mexico.

i dont know what bruce is thinking about ,how does he plan to be an ethetical selectmen  when he parked in handicaped parling places, he drove with  out a legal drivers licence ,  drove in a car that did not carey car insurance, cut off a ambulance going  tothe hospital and swore at a poiceman.

Does He Beat His Wife?

when on his neigbors property and had his wood pile cut up because he did not like the view of the wood pile. the neigbor sewed bruce for going on his property.

He Got Into A Screaming Match With A Comcast Man And The Police Had To Be Called Because It Got So Far Out Of Hand .

BRUCE WAS STOPPED BY THE WAREHAM POLICE  DRVING WITHOUT A LICENCE ,HE WAS ARRESTED AND PUT INTO THE BACK OF A POLICE CAR ,HE WAS PUT IN HANDCUFFS AND BOOKED AND AND PHOTOGRAPHED AT THE POLICE STATION AND WAS NOT BAILED OUT  LATTER IN THE MORNING, HE HAS A MUG SHOT ,ANY ONE HAVE IT SO WE CAN POST IT ON THE INTERNET, HY WAS HE AREESTED  BECAUSE THERE WAS  A WARANT OUT FOR HIS AREEST, AND THIS GUY WANTS TO BE A SELECTMEN ,GIVE ME A BREAK.

Bruce is like Newt....they love only themselves and can't tolerate anyone who can't or won't love them...both are going down in flames.

People are not that stupid and amnesia in politics doesn't last.

SHOULD  WE ELECT BRUCE A SELECTMEN  WHEN HIS CAR WAS REPOSED ,AND HE OWES 181 K IN TAXES TO THE GOV.,  WHAT A HIPOCRIT.

HE LED THA ATTACK ON THE LIBRARY AND SEWED THE LIBRARY TRUSTEES,HE IS JUST AN AWFULL PERSON.

GAUD HE IS CRAZY AND EVIL AND WENT TO LAW SCHOOL AND CANT EVEN PASS THE BAR EXAM TO BE A LAWYER, WHY DO YOU HATE PEOPLE BRUCE THAT DISAGREE WITH YOU

Here are a few clips of his sweetness.

The first shows Bruce's attitude towards people wanting to sue the town due to actions by Brucey's Board..aka targeting and eliminating town employees that rubbed Bruce and his board the wrong way.. $Cha-ching$..there goes more of your tax dollars.

The second is Brucey fanning the flames of racism, and attacking a Wareham Police officer for doing his job..and the police union's response at the following meeting. Why did Bruce attack the police officer? Because he hates the police officer (and his whole family).. Vendettas, vendettas, vendettas.

The third is Bruce "fudging" his way through the oath taken as a selectmen..(as usual) Bruce said one thing..but the truth was quite different. He'll say whatever he has to to get his way..even if it's total BS (as is often the case).

These clips are but a small sampling of Bruce's behavior while a selectman in Wareham. But they offer a "taste" of his blatant disregard for civility, his abuse of the position he was elected to, and his way of trying to convince people that his BS is actually the truth.

The best indicator of future behavior is past behavior. We're still paying for the problems Bruce and his horrible board caused. We have two selectman on the BOS (Begley & Schneider) who are itching to get Brucey on board..and if that happens?? You think we've had problems "lately"? You ain't seen nothin' yet.

What's the alternative, Dave?

You can only vote for someone if they do the paperwork, and get the req'd signatures (I don't think a write-in would have any chance).. The lesser of evil's is often (I've found) the way many people vote in any election.

Few people "fought" the shenanigans of the CRC more than I did.. Is it hard for me to believe Slavin has "seen the light"? Yes..I'd say it is. But, I do believe he's "had it" with the way things have been run over the last couple of years..and we can certainly agree on that. Personally...I'd vote for a mannequin before I'd vote for Bruce.

Anybody But Bruce

Bruce is a scum-bag.

Dave D for Selectman!!!

I concur with Quahog and Bill but I also see Dave's point.  I'm not thrilled about it, but unless someone else steps up, I guess I can handle staring at Slavin's Hawaain shirt for three years if it keeps me from having to listen to Sweet Brucey's fat mouth yammering every Tuesday night and my tax dollars going to pay for his incompetence and stupidity.

By the way, I hear there is a pizza party this weekend for Bruce to get people to sign papers.  I feel sorry for the guy that he actually has to give out free pizza to get people to sign his papers.  What a loser.  I also feel sorry for him that he has to have the pizza party at another pizza place because the pizza place he used to own failed even though it was the only place to get food near a busy town beach.  What a loser.

Remember, if you go to Brucey's Pizza Party, remember to wear metal gloves to protect yourself from a vigorous hand-forking.

[Paid for by the Committee to Elect Dave DiPietro.]

Bruce is a big loser.  We should print out copies of the Brucey middle finger photo so all voters can see the true Brucey.  He is one angry dude.
