Communist!! Un-American piece of crap. Surrounded by incompetent sheep that follow blindly a leader whose head is up his ass.

Good for you, bornof...remember, these people have opened their own Pandora's Box. They are now forcing themselves to do what they avoided for years...to bring the discussion before the voters of Wareham, have the issues debated, and then eventually voted on as a Referendum question.
Really, that's kind of stupid, isn't it?
Hmmm...un-American and stupid. What a combination.

Hey Born, they heard us, they were listening, they just don't care, hopefully the town as a whole will see it that way.  I as you, have grown up in this town my whole entire short life and I am disgusted with the way this town has been governed over the last few years and more.  And it's good to the turnout for the TM that the publice sees that the BOS for what it truly is, hopefully this will motivate people to be more involve, which happens to be the same thing that this BOS wants, only as long as it goes in their favor.  Also, if being a concerned citzen, taxpayer, and resident of this town qualifies me to be a part of a special interest group I do so, without reservation.  I say this because people who know who I am know that I can not be influenced when my mind is made up, I will agrue my point to the fullest, whether anyone agrees with me or not.  If I would have listened to my father so many years ago I would have been sitting on a nice piece of change and there would be no mortgage on my house at all.  I too want our town back!!!!

I apologize if I sound like my love for My town of Wareham is stronger than anyone elses, because I was born here.  I don't feel that way, except when someone is damaging my town as I have known it the last 61 years.  If you bought your home in 2001 and you love this town as much as I do, and are as angry as I am about the dishonest and unloyal politicians, then I tend to consider you as my equal and will stand beside you as a "townie".  Of course changes have had to be made over the years and I accept most of them.  Tearing up the natural beauty and bulldozing homes of historic design are on my hate list.  I still can't believe that Tobey bulldozed the yellow building on High Street in the line of progress.  Tobey said, "well, it didn't even have a kitchen."  So you tear it down!  I remember when the CVS (Gateway) plaza was a field.  Yes, it was.  The boys in town made a rough baseball field out of it.  We would sit on the wall across the street and watch, too young to play.  The police didn't stop us and ask us to move along, they waved at us and we waved back.  We knew them all.  What is going to happen to the old Wareham Free Library building where I spent many, many hours.  Where is the old beutiful door gone?  Why hasn't this been turned over to the town of Wareham as was stated in the will? Any one from Tobey care to answer that?  My passion is my home and family and I want my grandchildren to live in a wonderful town called Wareham.

There are some things that you can say, reflect on them, and then step up and say, "I was wrong"

But the "black heart" statement will be with Bruce to the end of his days-it is as close to a racial slur as one can get.  That will be his legacy, and it truly is regrettable. He may regret it now, but it truly is too late.

One thing that I have learned in politics, if you win, don't host a party, but if you lose, do so with grace and dignity.

By now, I assume everyone in town-and certainly the people on this blog- know that I opposed Westfield and my main reason was and is that Agawam should be taken care of first, and that we might be able to add 40 new units there, move people over and then renovate the old ones.  I don't want to say that makes me a "good guy," but I do take exception to being thrown into a category of having a "black heart," that is just wrong.

I am well aware of the fact that the mechanism  for doing this runs through a different channel; the state rather then the Federal government, but that is no excuse for not having pursued this vigerously over the past five years, and yet apparently nothing was done.  At least try.

They have always defined themselves by how they handle defeat.

So true Voter, in my opinion. When the BoS lost their budget cut against the library at a previous town meeting, they began what can only be called a vendetta. They dismissed the (perfectly legal, since the town's insurance paid part of their legal bill) trustees and began a ruthless campaign to destroy the library.  The library is now in the worst shape it has ever been in. There is no leadership and has been none since Susan Pizzolato left. They have taken months to hire a new library director.  They will not replace an employee who retired even though we know that position was included in the salary line. The entire library is run with two full time staff and 4 part time--fewer than when the hours were cut to 25 by the ITA yet they are covering 41 hours of operation. When the selectmen don't get what they want at town meeting, they never lose with grace and dignity. 

So, be prepared, members of the police department. You will be called more than "gutless cowards" in the days to come. And if you like to golf at Bay Pointe? Wait until you see the obstacles that will be thrown in the owner's path as he tries to bring a classy resort destination to our town. History does repeat itself in Wareham.

Well, I am not "them," and if there is no "us," then I am happy to stand by myself.

John Decas likes to brag he's attended Town Meeting since Christ had short hair, in not so many words.

He can say that with conviction because back in the day, visiting with your neighbors while doing for the community -was- fun. With this crew, it's always painful.

cruz voted IN FAVOR of baypointe so by bruces own words..
cruz is 1 of those "UGLY PEOPLE WITH BLACK HEARTS"

slager claims a deal was made..
by cruz's vote he is part of this deal made up by slager...

why hasnt cruz said anything???

where is ellen b & micheal s in all of this?

why are they not crying out against slagers claims and the bruce's name calling of the citizens of wareham?

why havent they scolded brenda at the very least for calling wareham citizens "ASSHOLES"?

why are they not telling the bos "you did your study the voters said no the end"

brendas cry to "dissolve" tm cuz she and the bos didnt get their agenda passed?

ellen and micheal where is the respect? do you want slager, brenda, bruce at the dinner table with your kids??
