It is a little surprising that the one & only Bren-duh took out papers for the BoS. Given her recent fixations on the School Committee, one would have thought that she might track in that direction.

Jane, on the other hand, is no surprise. Gotta keep up the family business, after all.

PeterGriffin is correct: there needs to be a Twofer here, two out...two in.

time is short.......

Interesting thoughts, Dave.

we need to get behind frank defelice ,its his turn and i think he will do a good job and thats why i will be supporting frank in april.

i am against wallmart moving,am against open meeting violations,against wastfieldand against the cpc also i will find out his stance on these issues, he put 2 articals in the new bedford standard times one in oct 2009 and one in dec 2009 where he seems to be against the present selectman. ,but i will hold his feet to the fire,no more promises from selectman , i want results

I almost lost my lunch when I read this appeal for selectman candidates from a hate blogger:

"John Decas...Bob Brady..Bill Heaney..Donna Bronk..Steve Curry...Geoff Swett..Larry McDonald."

"These are but a few on my "wish list"...and several are already serving as either elected or appointed "officials". But I think all have proven to be intelligent, thoughtful people with integrity...and they'd have my vote for Selectman."

...and I also plan to support Cliff Sylvia and Ken Fontes for re-election to the School Committee"

I think I am going to leave for a moment and get sick. What I copied into here is very scary and disturbing.

I haven't seen that one, Len. But it pretty much sums up the mindset of these folks. Vote for people because they belong to one side of a political equation without considering the track record of the individual.

Len sounds like a list of fools.

Anybody who votes for anyone on the current SC is either uneducated about who and what they are, or, needs a long rest at Butler Hospital.

Politics as usual in Wareham. The SC wants everybody to work with them, but they do not want to work with anybody.
Wareham Weak repeatedly proves that they are not a real newspaper by not telling the whole story. Bob Brady complains and it is news to the weak, Brady causes news and it is not news to the weak. MWF is not bankrolling the Observer(I should know), and Westfield has not even had one bit of information from any developer. Open and transparent seem to be words that the weak can not use or understand. The other side keeps refering to Move Wareham Forward as Move Wareham Backward, yet, they are the ones who want to Take Back Wareham to the "good old days" when they ran things. I need not expound on those foundations they built on and are crumbling beneath them. Funny how they know how to do everything and yet have done nothing to improve Wareham. They condem every person or idea to improve Wareham, they slander public officials using free speech as their motto, the day will come when they will have to pay the piper. The bastion of Wareham Water, you know, the new site where everybody is free to have their opinion, especially the half-dozen or so who can post since everybody else on their ten page user list is banned. Open and honest the Wareham way, thankfully we have the "Observer" where you can at least get both sides of the issue and actually post even if you do not agree. Ted Porada

And I'm the "hateblogger"?? There's more..but that's the "flavor".

*CoachTP is Ted Porada, the Treasurer of "Move Wareham Forward"..an oxymoron.

Six selectmen candidates have taken out papers thus far. Frank DeFelice, of Maki Way, Michael Schneider, of First Avenue, Ellen Begley, of Prospect Street, John Cronan, of Charge Pond Road, Donna Bronk of Glenda Avenue, and Jennifer Petersen of Blackmore Pond Road have thrown their hats into the ring.

A candidate worth considering??

Jennifer Petersen said she is running because she wants to "try to be part of bringing some unity between all the different committees and the Selectmen so that we can better our community," adding that she hopes to get input and ideas from community members through her website, jenniferapetersen.com. It is Petersen's first run for a political office. She said she will work to "bring the best possible policies and other resources to the town." She added: "We have a great resource in the town of Wareham. It's a great town. It would be nice to see it actualize all of its potential.”
