That’s a huge agenda to make up for all the cancelled meetings. Steve, Cara, Walter pay attention, once again there is no mention of the workshop for the different boards in town. Jane and Brenda are playing all of you. Instead of voting on limiting people to 2 boards you wanted a workshop to discuss the boards. I don’t understand why you didn’t vote on limiting the number of boards a person could be on and then add the idea of the workshop to review how the different boards operate.
Jane has successfully postponed the workshop for more than a month. She has successfully put off the vote for limiting the number of boards a person can be on. You guys are getting played and you don’t even know it. PAY ATTENTION

Cancelled selectmen meetings – OK, this is starting to get ridiculous. One last-minute cancellation of a selectmen meeting can be excused. Two straight weeks, however, indicates a problem. Not everyone has access to the Internet. Not everyone is spared from having to drive to the Multi-Service Center for no reason. Get it together, folks. It has become embarrassing now.
Uh oh - Sounds like Bobo the Clown is upset that his schedule of doing absolutely nothing was interfered with. I agree though, the BOS can't keep cancelling meetings at the last minute, but let's recognize it for what it is - when Janey has to go away for business, she doesn't want the rest of the board making decisions without her and doesn't want Cruz chairing the meeting, even though he is a duly elected representative of Wareham and protocol calls for the clerk to chair when the chair is away. Apparently, whenever Janey can't make it to a meeting, all of the town's business must come to a screeching halt.

Steve said he wanted the workshop sooner then later so if need be they could present an article at Town Meeting. Jane cancelled enough meetings so there isn’t a chance that can happen.
As I said no workshop was needed for the vote. They could have voted to limit the number of boards someone could be on and then scheduled a workshop to review how the different boards were run and if they were abiding by all the rules. Jane and Brenda are going to keep pushing this along as long as possible. Steve quit being Mr. nice guy and Mr. Politician, you are being PLAYED pay attention.
Steve, how can you say we won’t loose the million dollars grant for next year. You have no idea how long it will take to replace Chris. You also have no idea if the person they hire will be good enough to get the million dollar grant. Marcia told people she had a 90% success rate when it came to grants. They believed her and hired her, a year and a half later still no grants.
