I aggree the first question is Town Business, the second was so-so, but the last question has no place in a Citizens forum at a BOS meeting. We are trying to garner support to replace these folks, any advancement we have made just took a few steps in reverse.

I think a public apology in the same forum it was asked would be in order. The problem is with the bi-weekly schedule this thing will fester for two more weeks, and with each day that goes by, an the negative publicity it will get will is not good.

You should post an apology on this site immediately.

I realize you just arrived but Slager's and Sauvageau's unfounded character assassinations have run riot in this town for years. This subject deserves discussion.

Have we ever had such a tax-cheating, wife-beating member of the BOS who has embarassed this town the way Sweet Brucey has??..I think not..the question brings to the forefront the fact that we need to elect a new member to the Board next spring..whether an apology is issued or not, Savageau must go!!!

I am leaning towards the yes side of an apology, but only because it quite possibly could teach sweet brucey how to do it. I agree the first 2 questions were appropriate and the last was a little off. Not many people have access to this site and the only info they get is from watching the bos meetings, It was nice to see sweet brucey getting some of his own medicine! (bet he didnt get any sugar last nite to make it go down!) and dont believe for a second the brenda didnt realize that was Mrs Pillsbury!!!!

It doesn't look like the poll is bearing out common sense. Oh well, I would like to see this group do the right thing even if we can count on the Selectmen to do the opposite.

billw, With all due respect, you should apologize.  As ihateliz notes: if she doesn't or can't come forward for whatever reasons (intimidation?), there is not much the authorities can do.  Say a prayer for Rose.  No one should have to put up with his abuse and niether should Wareham any longer.  April can't come soon enough.  Wareham citizens should engage in a "sweep" of their own.  We've suffered enough embarrassment regionally far too long.

I feel it's a question of character. Though the question should not have been posed in a normal situation. I don't believe that the town politics could be referred to as "normal", for quite sometime. Brucie is not a stupid person. I think he has the ability to fool alot of people into thinking he has everything well in hand. I strongly feel that if anyone met him and, God forbid, disagree with him, they would quickly see his true colors. If he feels he has an advantage over or an inability to be "hurt" by his opposer, he will do his best to defeat them. Sounds like a natural defense mechanism, on the one hand. Until you realize, ideally, there's a better way of doing things. Mutual respect, compromise and a general relief from "nastiness", which is the way it's been since Brucie and Ms. Eckstrom have been on the scene. Change is overdue.
..and NO, I don't think you should apologize. Regret or spinning it is just more of what we don't need. If you feel you shouldn't have done it, then you shouldn't have done it. It's done.

Sorry Bill i used your name in vain...

NO YOU SHOULD NEVER APOLIGIZE TO BRUCE,  NEVER , NEVER ,

I have a list of what Bruce hasn't and SHOULD apologize for. The biggest item: For not offerring his resignation to the entire town. If he meant it, he would have given more than just his cronies a chance to vote.
