Here's an outright lie in his story:

"An amendment was then offered to bring the article back in the fall following the appointment of a study committee. That amendment passed, 136-109."

The amendment only provided for a Westfield study group to be formed to report to Fall Town Meeting.  The amendment did NOT provide for the article to be "brought back," or anything else other than the formation and report of the study committee.

The study committee may be a good thing. Maybe they can study how to make Westfield what is was intended for..recreational use.Find some Fed and State Green money and develop it.
It is so easy to go to a "study committee". The man that proposed that I have seen as a shill for the BOS members still around from the last election...
It will never become low income housing...maybe the Fall Town Meeting will end it once and for all.

I wonder if the troll and his butt buddy the former Chairman dress up in pink tutus' and sip tea from little cups when they make up their little stories. The guy would be funny if he wasn't so...oh...you know the rest.
Well, at least they will have few days to make up new love songs for each other.
Did anyone ever see them hanging out with Barney Frank?

Stopped at article 25 (Mayor) just before 10 pm..the video should be up in a couple of hours (hopefully)..it was expected to continue Monday..the HS has some functions this week, etc..

Oh Bobo, you foiled the power elite again.  You got it, there was a reserve of 50 extra power elite bastards hiding in the bushes behind the high school, ready to strike if things didn't go the way of the evil power elite. 

They were all space aliens too.  Power elite bastards from outer space hiding in the bushes behind the high school to interfere with senior housing complex votes.  No word yet on whether the CIA or KGB was involved.

Thanks for the update...

Okay, for this story I'm sorry to say that I had to go read it for myself "over there".

I have a few thoughts:

As usual, he contradicts himself in saying that more people entered the building, while he also says he saw people driving away.  Doesn't he realize that night school had ended?

In regards to the quorum count :  while the count was being taken, people were still in the process of checking in and taking their seats.  Due to following the rules, AND STARTING ON TIME, the tellers only counted people in their seats with their pink card.  That tells me that some people were not included in the original quorum count, but were there none-the-less.

Besides, isn't it the clerk's job to monitor the entry/exits?

In regards to the Westfield vote, it was a hand count, and again, the only people counted were people sitting down with a pink card.  To receive a pink card, they had to be checked in.
It was obvious by the vote total that a quorum existed, which is probably why the Moderator didn't see the need for a quorum count.

P-Span is the MAN!!

After the fire alarm went off I think I saw an antique fire engine from a defunct fire department take off at a high rate of speed. The same antique fire truck then returned a few minutes later with at least 50 extra voters dressed as firefighters. They were all clinging on to the sides and back of the truck, it was quite a sight. Just like the old days.

the westfeild artical for a study of westfeild provides a study only, its up to the selectman to vote to bring back wedtfeild for a vote and i dont think that will happen , get over it brenda , you lost as you will losse next april, asshole.

Anyone pretending to be a "reporter" should avoid use of the word "I" like the plague, and to do his best to keep himself out of his "news" story.

Especially one like Mr. Slager who has already admitted that he has a clear agenda, meets with what he now calls an opposition, and who routinely distorts facts to suit his agenda or the needs of the opposition. 

So the fact that he couldn't even get a quote from Mrs. Eckstrom to reinforce his conspiracy theory speaks volumes.

Last time he claimed that Bay Pointe and "the rest of us" (aka voter's in opposition to Westfield) were in "cahoots"...Now..I don't know??? What?? "We" (aka all voter's in oppostion to Westfield) were "in on" the "pull the fire alarm and sneak fifty like minded voter's into TM and change the mood in the room scheme."

...One of my favorite movies is "The Great Escape"..but that had nothing on this maneuver.."We've" been tunneling for months Assclown.

I had to see this for myself, here are some comments:
To quote the village idiot, "A quorum count was taken shortly after 7 p.m. That number was 214. I arrived shortly before 7:10 p.m. after attending a school concert in which my daughters performed. There was no one waiting to get into the auditorium when I arrived. Everyone was already seated. Town Moderator Claire Smith was going over the rules of the evening. I asked another reporter of I had missed anything. She said just the quorum count, which ended just as I arrived in the auditorium.
    At approximately 9:15 p.m., after a slew of Westfield supporters had made a very strong case for the proposal, the fire alarm sounded and those in attendance made their way to the exits. Approximately 25 minutes later everyone was allowed back in the building but there was scant checking to see if those re-entering were registered voters, and only at one door."
1. We don't care where you were, no one missed you.
2. The fire alarm went off at 8:25 pm and the people you saw leaving were from night school, get a grip on yourself.
3. The responsibility for checking people in lies squarely with the Town Clerk, so if you want to blame someone she is the one to blame.
4. People who entered back through the main door were checked.
5. There were not 50 people who are unregistered voters that snuck in and happened to have pink cards, if you believe that I have a bridge to sell you.

Between Bobo and Andrea I am not sure who is worse. The comments on the pay to play site are hysterical. What a bunch of sore losers showing their true colors. By the way, if the argument is for a Mayor because then you could have had Westfield you are barking up the wrong tree. That is exactly why we shouldn't have a Mayor.

Westfield is a bad idea on multiple levels, not the least of which is that the Town does not belong in the development or housing business. We can't get our own books straight. Today I went to visit my former employer, first words out of the mouth of my former boss were "That place has developed a bad reputation, everyone knows not to work there, move there, even drive through there." That my dear power elite friends is how others see us.

I blame one Robert Slager for poisoning this community, he is an evil man with a chip on his shoulder. If I win the lottery I am going to start up a paper in Halifax and see how he feels when everything you love is turned to shit. People you love have been dragged through the mud. It is sick. He is a sick sick puppy.

Now I feel better. Bobo you are an assclown, you lost, go home.

That's an excellent point, capricon. Interesting that a teacher in the Wareham School District wrote that cobwebs have never caused a fire alarm at a school before. Hmmmmm.



Bobo have you ever been probed by aliens as well?

"Hmmmmm" is exactly right.  In fact, I demand an investigation!

hate to mention this folks - but HOW would non-registered voters get a pink card? even if they came in the back door or whatever.

i am totally disappointed in this vote. but i do have to recognize that THEY organized. WE have to be, too. so MWF, let us PLEASE be better organized for the monday vote and for the fall.


By: robertslager on 5/5/10
The voting cards are simply pink squares of made out of construction paper. They would be easy to reproduce.

By: capricon on 5/5/10
GramyK; First, I agree that they didn't necessarily load the town up with fraudulant voters, but for the sake of argument, did you go to fall town meeting? Did you return your card at the end of each night? To my knowledge we have used 5 colors pink, yellow, green, blue and orange(salmon). It could have been done. I do also agree that we need to look at ourselves, where were our voters? Personally, I think this is a problem with airing it live. Our people sat at home, watched it, saw the momentum, heard the fire alarm and flipped back to dancing with the stars or american idol. Their people sat at home watched it going south and when the heard the fire alarm and were told the meeting would convene in 15 minutes, grabbed their coats and came down to stop it! It's the reconvene in 15 minutes that gets me. We have had bomb scares where the kids have been outside for anywhere from an hour and a half to four hours - 15 minutes?


HUNNY GRAB BREAK INTO THE EMERGENCY PINK CONSTRUCTION PAPER CARD RESERVE, ILL START THE CAR, WESTFIELD NEEDS US

Can't someone Baker Act that guy?

They better add some more tin foil to their hats,  Bobo is just trying to drum up paper sales again.  I have had fire alarms go off at my place of business for no reason at all, both smoke and heat detectors have triggered on many occasions.  There is also a beam style that triggers the alarm when smoke is present in the air.  If the school is using a Simplex system, they are notorious for problems.  Next they will start checking Target and Walmart to see if they had a big sale on pink construction paper at 9:30 at night.  Bobo please, just let go, you are like an infection that just keeps oozing.

The mental illness is progressing at an alerming rate.  Someone needs to have their meds upped.
