So, let's ask some questions! First, what is your take on the Selectmen? Are you a registered voter? Do you consider the audit a positive thing or a bad move during a financial crunch? What could possible come out of the audit that would make you think it was worth the money?

That should be a good start!

Im going to color my hair with some cheap crap now.  If you see a bald lady running around town.  It probly me.  :)  I am used to paying the big bucks to have my hair done properly.  But like every other American I have felt the crunch.  It came out better than I expected.

Waterview,
There is a level of corruption in any form of government. It comes with the power that a position wields. If you have people willing to "supplement" your lifestyle, you have politicians willing to sell a piece of their soul. I don't think this is new to Wareham. I don't have much knowledge of the prior Selectmen, but I'm sure there has always been a bit of self-interest driving the Wareham Express. It's all in how you present it!
Unfortunately for this group of Selectmen, the way they handle the public, their personal issues, and their arrogance have been over the top for so long, people are now just tired of the antics. You add in an economic downturn, and you have a very potent mix.

My main concern as a taxpayer is whether or not they are doing the best job for this town or just serving their personal agenda. The audit of town computers is a sticking point. Taped comments of an excecutive session shows how unorganized this group is and how they went "fishing" instead of having a plan. It also appears they are looking for bloggers, which does not constitute a crime of any nature and does warrant the expense. If they uncover major crimes, it may be worth while, but to discuss bloggers makes it sound like a poorly executed bully tactic. That would be in character for this group, so it won't surprise me if that is the case. Another waste of taxpayer money to feed their ego and "show who is in control".

If you add in a weak fill-in Administrator, you have a distaster! This town is in chaos, the workers have low morale, and there is no end in sight. If you and I think Wareham is worth saving, we need 4000+ registered voters to think the same thing to make it happen. People have to come together and toss the trash out and give this town a much needed boost of HOPE!

mapleman may i call you that?   I agree with you they screwed up with that gettin caught on tape about bloggers that was awful.  But what if,  what if, they did it on purpose?  I have been thinking about this from every possible angle.  I am a very suspicious person by nature.  What if they leaked that out on purpose.  To send people running scared.  Just a thought.

Mapleman,  You are probably right.   But I do try to cover all my bases, always.
