I'm game for dinner tomorrow night. I would prefer not to go to Ellas. I will explain why tomorrow night.


Why wait for the explanation? His mommy only gives him 1.75 for his meal allowance.

"The resistance has begun. Is there anyone out there?"

The above quote puts to rest forever any notion that this guy is a news reporter or an unbiased source of information.  Rather, he is every bit as much a "political activist" as those on this site whom he derides as "hatebloggers" are.

Please take note, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Winslow, and Mr. Holmes: by his own admission, Mr. Slager can no longer be considered a reporter or journalist in any sense of the word. 

Accordingly, you are under no obligation to treat him as an ordinary member of the media or to answer any questions he might ask of you, whether posed in person, in writing, or via his website that masquerades as a legitimate journalistic enterprise.

WHERE WILL THE RESITANCE MEETING BE HELD , BOBBIE DOES NOT WANT IT TO BE  HELD AT ELLAS, MAYBE THEY WILL MOVE IT OUT OF TOWN , JOHN DONAHUE SAID HE WOULD ATTEND ON A PREVIOUS POST , WILL JANE ATTEND  , IF SHE DOES THEN SHE WILL SAY BY HER ATTEDANCE THAT SHE  DOES NOT WANT A WAREHAM WHERE WE ALL GET ALONG  ,THAT SHE WANTS POWER  FOR POWERS SAKE  AND WAREHAM BE DAMMED.

Section  7 - 10    Recall of Elected Officials

(a)    Application - Any person who holds an elected town office,
        with more than six months remaining of the term of office,
        may be recalled from the office, by the voters, in the manner
         provided in this section.

(b)    Recall Petitions - Twenty-five or more voters may file with
        the town clerk an affidavit containing the name of the officer
        whose recall is sought and a statement of the grounds upon
which the petition is based.  The town clerk shall deliver to the
        said voters petition blanks demanding said recall, printed forms of
        which he shall keep available. The blanks may be completed by
        writing or typewriting; they shall be addressed to the board of 
        selectmen; they shall contain the names of the persons who filed
        the affidavit and the grounds for recall as stated in the affidavit;
        they shall demand the election of a successor to the office; and they
           shall be dated and signed by the town clerk.  A copy of the petition
        shall be kept on file in the office of the town clerk in a record book
        maintained for that purpose.  Notwithstanding  any general or
        special law or charter provision or by-law of the town of
        Wareham, recall petitions shall be returned and filed in the office
        of the town clerk within fourteen days following the date the
petitions were issued, signed by at least ten percent of the total
        number of registered voters duly recorded on the registration list
        of the town clerk as of the preceding town election.   
        The town clerk  shall, within twenty-five hours  following such filing,
        submit said petitions to the registrars of voters who shall forthwith
        certify thereon the number of signatures which are names of  voters.

Note: The last sentence of the first paragraph in 7 - 10 (b) was    
        changed to what appears above by a vote of the  fall town meeting
        of October 20, 1980 under Article 37.   It was approved as Chapter 234
        of the Acts of 1981 on June 4, 1981 by the state legislature.

(c)        Recall Election - If the petition shall be certified by the registrars of
        voters to be sufficient, the town clerk shall forthwith submit the same
        to the board of selectmen.  Upon its receipt of the certified petition, the
        board of selectmen shall forthwith give written notice of said petition
        and certificate to the person whose recall is sought.  If said officer does
        not resign his office within five days following delivery of the said notice,
        the board of selectmen shall order an election to be held not less than
        thirty-five nor more than sixty days after the date of the registrars'
        certificate of the sufficiency of the petition.  If, however, another town
        election is to occur within sixty days after the date of the said certificate,
        the board of selectmen shall hold the recall election on the date of said
        other town election.  If a vacancy occurs in the office after a recall
        election has been ordered, the election shall nevertheless proceed as
        provided in this section, but only the ballots for candidates need be counted.

(d)    Nomination of Candidates - An officer whose recall is sought may not be a candidate to succeed himself at the recall election.  The nomination of
        candidates, the publication of the warrant for the recall election, and the
        conduct of the same shall all be in accordance with the provisions of other
    laws relating to elections, unless otherwise provided in this section.

    (e)    Propositions on ballot - Ballots used at a recall election shall state the
        following propositions in the order indicated:
       
            For the recall of (name of officer)        /  /
            Against the recall of (name of officer)    /  /
       
        Adjacent to each proposition, there shall be a place to vote for either
        of the said propositions.  After the propositions shall appear the
        word "candidates" and the names of candidates arranged alphabetically,
        by surname.  If a majority of  the votes cast upon the question of recall
        is in the affirmative, the candidate receiving the highest number of votes
        on the question is in the negative, the ballots for candidates need not be
        counted, except as provided in (c) above.

    (f)    Officeholder - The incumbent shall continue to perform the duties of
his office until the recall election.  If he is not recalled in the election he
        shall continue in office for the remainder of his unexpired term, subject
        to recall as before, except as provided in this section.  If the officer is
        recalled in the election, he shall be deemed removed upon the qualification
        of his successor who shall hold office during the unexpired term.  If the
        successor fails to qualify within five days after receiving notification
        of his election, the incumbent  shall thereupon be deemed removed and
        the office vacant.

(g)        Repeat of Recall Petition - No recall petition shall be filed against an
        officer within three months after he takes office, or in the case of an officer
        subjected to a recall election and not recalled thereby, until at least six
        months after the election at which his recall was submitted to the voters.

Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Live Chat. There are a lot of very angry people in Wareham right now who are irate their town was just taken away from them. The resistance has begun.

Hello?  Is anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home?

Come on, now
I hear you're feeling down
You lost control of this town.

We won't erase your pain,
watch you crawl away again.

Relax,
We need some information first.
Just your twisted facts
now you'll see how it hurts.

There is no pain in your resistance
A distant vote smokes on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move, but your tin foil hat's not working.

When I was a child I had a bagel
My butt felt just like 2 ballons.
Now I've got that feeling once again.
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am.
I have become Slager the bum.

Slager would screw up a free meal....then again, so would Donahue..
