One of the Boston Globe's last remaining South Shore reporters - who I won't embarrass by name - wrote last week to ask:
What is going on in Wareham? Every time I read about this town, it has to do with something unbelievable.
Hear that Back Bay sneer? Anyway, the Globe's South Shore election round-up this Sunday gives Wareham a short squib on Town Hall closings and nothing more.
Walpole Selectmen, meanwhile, are asking voters for an override to finance a new library...

and Mashpee just broke ground on a new $7M library this January, Mattapoisett just moved into their new library, both Lakeville and Carver libraries are fairly recent and Falmouth just rehabed theirs. Milton just completed their new 16M Library due to open this month. Apparently these communities value what a fully functional library can offer to further support their citizens.

The difference between Wareham and the other towns is 1. we have to BOS members who want to use their position to destroy people and destroy services in the process and 2. we have a BOS member who wants nothing more than to destroy the entire town so she can convince the voters that we need a mayor to rule the town.
As far as MaryBeth is concerned, let's hope that Enos will not be a donahue lackey. If the Prudential Committee speaks with one voice, it will be easier to make changes at the annual meeting.

Wareham USED to value its library. The personal vendetta has turned into an anti-library t-shirt wearing crowd who votes the way the BOS and Donahues tell them to vote. Same as the Water District vote. Only at the district, we are only stuck with paying twice for having the same job done. With the library, it is decertified and limping along. The library commissioners said no chance at a waiver next year because the hours were cut by Sanguinet on the orders of guess who? The nasty library lobby warned against voting down the budget for the library, but the vote went the other way. You reap what you sow.

This illustrated a story I haven't the ambition to look up.
