Hard to believe that the computer audit began last Memorial Day!!!  I just thought I'd remind you all of how "transparent" our BoS have been on this issue.

You have all read Steve Curry's letter to the editor and Steve DeCosta's article. We now know that an administrative subpoena (Brucie stated this) was issued by the DA and the disks were taken almost immediately from the forensic team. So the BoS KNEW all along about the disks being taken. Now we have more lies about getting them back!!!!

In the ST: "But the DA's office said Wednesday that neither the town's counsel nor police chief have picked up the disks as requested.

"Our attorney has them," selectmen Chairman Bruce Sauvageau said in response to a question about the disks from a colleague Tuesday night.

"They have not yet picked up the disks," Bridget Norton Middleton, spokeswoman for Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz, said Wednesday. "We've been in contact with them, but no one has come to pick up the disks."

"The disks have been available to them since January," Middleton said. "If they wanted to get them, they knew how to get them."

PRETTY CLEAR, right? Well, I just thought you might like to re-read what the tacky tabloid writer wrote about the computer audit way back when. I do think a bit of duping went on. Looks like the BoS have been telling lies for a year on this audit and the tacky tabloid writer believed them lock stock and barrel.  Here's.......Bobo

On a different note, I do think the selectmen need to start releasing more information about the audit soon. I understand why they would want to be thorough and protect the town legally as much as possible, but their relative silence is allowing the opposing to fill the void with all sorts of ridiculous claims.

I asked Sauvageau about that last week when I called him for comment on the library trustee story. The selectmen might release the audit reports in stages because of the tremendous amount of information now being reviewed.

He wouldn't say much more than that. It's a little frustrating for me as a reporter. I would like more specific information, but I do understand the scope of this audit and the ramifications it will most certainly have. Selectmen are obviously being very cautious to make sure their report is air-tight with specific evidence.

I don't think the DA is involved yet because not all the information has been released yet. This audit is just one step in what will certainly be a far bigger investigation.

I will say I am troubled that the results of the audit are taking this long. I've been told it's because K&P is going through the results with a fine-tooth comb.

I was told, off the record, that the audit will result in "life-changing" repercussions for many people. That's all I can say about it right now.

LIFE CHANGING: Can you guess whose lives will be changed now that the lies have been revealed??
