was the town clerk reprimanded for this? notice how quick the tin foil hatties all are to stereotype everyone on this site as hateful but when the clerk does something nasty and illegal they put her on a pedestal. don't forget, it was her hurt feelings over being called a name that started the computer audit. the audit that we are all still waiting for. biggest mistake to put her back in office. don't blame me, I voted for Conway.

Unfortunately, the information released by Mary Ann Silva was public information, so there is nothing LEGALLY that can be done about that. What I find very telling is that she explained to a private citizen that she released the information because she did not like "larry and liz". Does that seem very professional? Mrs. Silva through a citizen under the bus because she didn't like us. It is also very troubling that if any of us would like that information, we would have to fill out a request for public information and pay a fee. Mr. Slager only needs to pick up the phone and call her. He is not a resident and he doesn't have to pay for the same information we have to pay for? Is this type of behavior looking out for the citizens of this town? Seriously, this needs to be remembered when she runs for election. The arrogance is staggering!

I wrote a letter to our Town Administrator requesting a formal investigation and there has been no response. I plan on following this up. I have a statment from the citizen she talked to and I want to make sure the AG knows about this type of behavior. It's one thing to not like a person, and it's another to compromise another private citizen because of your PERSONAL feelings.

The seriousness is the fact that the people involved are in the MILITARY!

If you can't protect the members of the military, who can you protect?

Shame...

I can't wait to see what Ms. Silva has to say...

I can not believe Silva would take the time to email Slager.  Does anyone else see this as a CYA move?  The supposed email seems so laid back to me.  More like an interoffice email rather than an official email.  I find it repulsive that these people are putting a local family, one that is dealing with a deployment through the ringer.  I suggest everyone call the Town Clerks office and vocalize their displeasure at the way the Town Clerks office has dealth with this situation.  Also, Silva would not have to worry about anyone attacking her office if they just did their damn jobs!!!!  One more thing:  Hey Bobo, it IS legal to sign a petition, it is not a vote.  Also, I believe JAG would have jurisdication!  If not, I'm sure there are plenty of lawyers willing to help out a deployed family!!!!  Seems Silva and Bobo were a little worried about that one! BTW,  the family members were not allowed to announce where their loved ones were being deployed idiot!!!!  I would love to know who told her "assistant" that they were being deployed!!!!!! You're definition of extensive interview is amazing.  I only saw two interviews along side a number of other local residents.  So tell me, who is your source to ALL of your information? I'd love to see this one.  Oh that's right, you don't have one you are making it up again!!!!!!!!

Bosoxx:  :)

I am learning that when Slager is presented with FACTS he will weasle those FACTS into whatever will fit his theory.  It's really a shame that people will hang on to whatever he writes without checking it out on their own.  I see so many Wikipedia references on that website.  Do they realize that any credible college will not allow students to quote Wikipedia as a source?  It is NOT reliable, kind of like Slager.

I just was sent Slager's account of his dealings with Ms. Silva.
My reaction?
Simple: HUH?

Looks like a lot of room in the rear, there P-Span!

I love the fact that Slager let loose the whole e-mail showing, clearly, Ms. Silva's close relationship with Slager. (He threw you under the bus, there little missy).

She must really have her priorities askew. She is making negative remarks about citizens of Wareham, Hatebloggers, Larry, Liz, etc., and embracing a malcontent, failure from Halifax.

How interesting.

Question: I can't find it: can you recall a Town Clerk?

By the way, before anyone mentions it, I don't care whose niece she is. My friendships stop at protecting incompetent elected officials.

I wonder what her name is on Slager's site?

I forgot to mention that Ms. Silva's understanding of JAG is lacking in facts, consistent with the people she is dealing with. JAG stands for : Judge Advocate General's Office...

I wonder if she has a GPS locator to help her find the Town Hall everyday.

Parts of the Patriot Act:

Expands the ability of law enforcement to conduct secret searches, gives them wide powers of phone and Internet surveillance, and access to highly personal medical, financial, mental health, and student records with minimal judicial oversight.

Allows FBI Agents to investigate American citizens for criminal matters without probable cause of crime if they say it is for "intelligence purposes."


Correspondence Contents. Letters written on paper were traditionally stored in the home or business. The post office neither kept nor stored your letters. To be able to read them, the government normally had to get a warrant to search your home or office by proving "probable cause" that you had done something wrong.
Now, an increasing number of Americans store their correspondence on computers at their ISPs where it can be obtained by law enforcement on much lower standards than those required for a physical search of your home, depending on whether the e-mail has been opened by and how old it is. And while you'd usually know whether someone had invaded your home and rummaged through your papers, you're unlikely to ever find out that your e-mail had been searched while it was sitting on your ISP's mail server.


Online. All of your activities on the web are generally recorded, from the Google search where you locate information, to the various websites you visit while shopping, researching, or discussing, to your purchases, downloads and printing of information. Nearly all websites keep both a record of what you do while visiting them and your IP address, which can easily be used to identify and locate you. This information can be (and sometimes is) aggregated over time and various web locations creating a mini-dossier of your activities available to law enforcement with a simple subpoena under USAPA II (or in the case of websites such as e-Bay.com, simply handed over to law enforcement upon request).


Third Parties can be Compelled by Merely An Administrative Subpoena (secs. 128 & 129). Administrative subpoenas can be issued by government without prior court approval and are not even reviewed by a court unless the subpoenaed party (not you) objects. Under USAPA II, rather than seek a court order, the government will be able to issue a simple subpoena to require a third party such as your ISP, library, doctor, friend or loved one, to turn over information about you to the government. The government need only assert, if challenged, that the information was sought "with respect to an investigation" into any one of the broad category of offenses related to domestic or international terrorism. Another provision makes it easier to use "National Security Letters" (like subpoenas) to get information from ISPs, credit reporting firms, and financial institutions for "counter-intelligence" purposes. Additionally, USAPA II allows:
Gag orders for those required to turn over information about you with penalties for telling anyone about the subpoena, including the target. 18 USC §1510(e) (secs 128 & 129)(see below)
Judicial enforcement for noncompliance. Those subpoenaed can make a motion with the court to resist the subpoena on your behalf, but you'll never know if they do.



Scary, huh? Especially if a member of the Military files a complaint about harassment, fear of safety due to announcement of their names and addresses, false accusations of criminal activities. Essentially: Journalistic terrorism.

Looks like it only takes dropping the dime.

Good luck on the other end.

I have a GREAT idea how about my husband, the Town clerk, Nicole D, I and Mr Slager all get together because Mr slager has too many holes in his "story" and the clerk certainly according to slager is not telling him what she told me.....

I am free lets all have coffee!!!!

I would love to see that meeting take place, Liz. What do you think the chances are of it happening?

The truth is Slager doesn't want facts.  He would be proven wrong then.  He just wants "sound bites" to twist it to his pleasure.  He is like cancer.  He just infests himself into our town and causes so much destruction.  Now we have a Town Clerk who tells different stories and has no morals...God save this town!

Bring gas masks to wear if Bobo is going to be in the room.  He probably smells worse than his writing.

I have to really laugh at this Coach TP.  I challenged Slager, but since you seem to be one of his default mouth pieces, I will say again :  You were the one accusing people of abusing the POA, YOU PROVE it.  I can give you a few other things to google while you are at it, but I don't want you to get distracted my friend. Your friends are the ones that are speculating and accusing, and as we all know, once you accuse now you have to prove it :)

I wouldn't hold my breath on that meeting Dan, they seem like they are running scared now after Fogcutter called them all out.  They really can't see how slanted, not just Slager, but all of them are!
