Hmmm...seems a little unethical for this woman to go before the BOS to squeal about folks before they even took the test inappropriately.

Respect and consideration? How come they didn't afford me any of that when I applied for the Personnel Board? I applied in May and never heard a word. Even though they have vacancies, now I wonder why I am not afforded this respect and consideration?

Oh brucie boy is getting put down by other BOS members...janey is not taking any gruff from him.

What? No talk about Canavazzi or am I missing something, the only one with actual TA experience!

I don't know Mr.  Andrews, obviously, but 2 drunk driving arrests in 15 months?  C'mon.  Is this a responsible person to have in such an important position such as TA?

I am unfamiliar with the way these things are done, but you are right the motion was to begin negotiations with Mr. Andrews.  I was glad to hear that they will at least have a contract that has wording to the effect that he will be on watch so to speak about his prior offenses.

You don't have their ethics.  Be thankful for that.  They know you will stick to the truth at any cost.  You wouldn't fit in with them on any level.  That is a compliment, by the way.

If people are upset that Andrews is the choice, then there are remedies available.

1. If they voted in Exec. Session, then the vote is invalid and can be challenged in court, and any action voted can be overturned.

2. If they were supposed to vote in open session and did not, then they have not appointed anyone. A challenge will probably only produce a quick vote from the BoS. BUT, it is an opportunity to demonstrate, once again, the appalling lack of competence of this group. They should be embarassed, but don't count on it.

No sound for a while. Is it me, or them?

IHL

they mentioned several times that the whole, big, huge package of applicants added up to 20 or 21. You have got to be kidding me!

It is typical for Towns to receive dozens of applications for the TA position, The word I got from the pros in the "TA network" was that the Wareham job was poison, don't go there. That's why you end up with Andrews.

The BoS strikes again.

Thank you, I was feeling so hurt that all applicants deserve this respect and consideration that I wasn't afforded and I was starting to think they don't like me! Actually they don't like me, but I am okay with that!

NAL:
Yup, that good ole TA Network, let's give the guy a contract that says we can fire you and we have a whole new Sanguinet with a different look. Good luck on those negotiations. If I was Andrews I wouldn't sign a thing with a termination clause in it, especially considering that other towns may not be so generous in giving him chances.

Attention to the general public, a two time drunk driving offender is moving to town! Drinking and driving causes fatalities, often to innocent bystanders and not the drunken idiot behind the wheel (unfortunately). Man, the eggnog is going down easy tonight! At least I am safely in my recliner, destination, bed!

I don't believe I heard them take a vote, either. Only Mr. Cronin saying that they "begin negotiaitons with Mr. Andrews for the position of Town Administrator".

They voted 5-0 to begin negotiations. It's on tape.

Sorry Mature, they voted 5-0 to hire him. Now they start negotiations.
