Please tell your friends,
Hear ye! Hear ye!
Fellow citizens of Wareham,
Are you unhappy with our leadership?
Do you feel that our community is headed in the wrong direction?
If so, please join us at the Wareham Middle School auditorium on
Thursday, July 30th at 6:30 PM
We will share concerns and plan a course for the future in
which we all become participants in change that will move
Wareham in a new direction.
The following are a few of the concerns: (A more detailed
list of additional concerns will be available at the meeting.)
Violations of the Board of Selectmen:
1. Violations of their Oath of Office
2. Violations of the Open Meeting Law
3. Violations of the Wareham Home Rule Charter
4. Decisions have wasted taxpayer money and therefore
decreased funds available for preferred services.
5. Actions that have led to unnecessary legal costs.
• Removal of a fully competent Town Administrator.
• Causing more lawsuits than ever in our history.
• Improperly firing town employees.
• Taking improper actions against the Library Board of Trustees.
• Incurring unnecessary expenses surrounding Maple Springs Road,
the computer audit, the Barker property (also lost $225,000 in
grant funding), Oceanside Dr. signage, and the Swift’s Beach
land taking to name a few.
6. Violations of access to public information by:
• Failing to comply with all Massachusetts Public Records Law requests.

I hope you have a strong moderator for this meeting. If it is now a public meeting you are going to need one.
Just being practical in so much as now that you have made this announcement, and considering that some of the most addicted readers of this site are some of the BOS and thier supprters.( COME ON WE KNOW YOU ARE OUT THERE WE CAN HEAR YOU BREATHING!) They may show up to try and defend thier actions.
For me I almost hope they would because that would allow concerned citizens to ask them questions about thier actions in a forum that was controlled by the people.
I will try to make it if I can't I hope many people do including the legitimate news media to cover it. GOOD LUCK!
7.) Uneccesary computer Audit in what can be described as extreme fiscal hardship in town.
8.) Illegal Executive Sessions.

GO! GO! GO!
Be smart. Concentrate on issues only. Leave personalities out of it. You must earn the trust and respect of the electorate. You can only do that by being balanced and fair.
Define the problems. Offer resolutions. That is the KEY!
Anyone can tell you what is wrong...you have to provide resolution to the problems that exists. Criticize, but be willing to compromise.
Compromise only your positions, never your principles.
Know the issues. Assume that most people don't know the real issues. Educate them.
Be patient...be organized...be united...be strong...be focused...be the leaders that you are.
GO!

Obviously, I didn't anticipate this level of demand.
I upped the 'personal message' limits several fold but suggest offsite email instead, if at all possible. I'm already knee deep in load balance issues with current traffic.

The link is busted, Larry.
In other news, my dentist beat me over the head with a shovel this morning and prescribed happy pills. For the duration, I'm out of commission and/or a two wheeled menace, take your pick.
