Post news stories, quotes, videos, headlines, and other examples of Hypocrite Elite chicanery that have made Wareham a laughingstock over the past several years.
We have to keep jogging the voters' memories so they will be sure not to vote for anyone who was a part of or supported these shenanigans.

First up, Ex-Selectman and Current E-Rag Columnist/Westfield Committee Candidate Sweet Brucey owes $181,000 in back taxes.

Asked before Tuesday's selectmen meeting by a Standard-Times reporter to explain, Sauvageau flew into a rage for several minutes in the Town Hall parking lot, accusing the reporter of being a "hit man," an "asshole" and a "punk," and shouting that his tax problems have nothing to do with the Board of Selectmen.
He gave no answer to the question of how he could owe so much money. Instead, he loudly mocked the reporter, shouting, "That's more money than you've made in your life.

Wareham voters have a chance to set things right again on Tuesday.
They will elect two members of the Board of Selectmen. The incumbents are Bruce Sauvageau and John Cronan, whose leadership has been disastrous for the community. Neither deserves re-election.
Sauvageau and Cronan have bullied critics and opponents, presided over a municipal government that is secretive and vindictive, conducted a witch hunt against demoralized town employees, made key hiring decisions behind closed doors, and routinely refused to answer questions or provide information about the public's business.
In so doing, they have made Wareham's municipal government a laughingstock that has stoked uncivil conduct and anger between rival factions. They have driven away talented employees, refused to allow any real public involvement in the hiring of either a new town administrator or a new chief of police, and cost the town money in lawsuits stemming from their bad decision-making.

From "Oh, Wareham" by Jack Spillane in the Standard Times, Jan. 21, 2010" - Discussing the DA's ruling that the previous BOS violated the open meeting law 14 times:

Oh, Wareham!
By Jack Spillane Published: January 21, 2010
It’s hard to read the continuing saga of the Wareham selectmen’s disregard for open meetings law without concluding the town’s Board of Selectmen just don’t care what the law is.
Today’s story by Steve DeCosta quoting the Plymouth District Attorney’s office saying the board recently violated the state Open Meeting Law 14 separate times almost defies belief. The occasions involved the board’s failure to create a screening committee in the hiring process for a new town administrator, and it’s failure to alert the public of upcoming interviews and even to record its own votes.
What’s more the district attorney’s office said Wareham selectmen have violated the Open Meeting Law an additional five times since 2006, “demonstrating at least a conscious disregard, and at worse intentional decisions by the board, to violate the statute.”
In the wake of the D.A.’s report, Selectman Chairman Bruce Sauvageau’s glib statement declining comment because he is on vacation until the end of the month, indicates a board chairman who is openly contemptuous of the rule of law and the public’s right to know how it’s town works.

It's a work in progress. "The Hypocrite Elite Chronicles" can be the "Cliff Notes" version, while this can be some of the examples of the bad press these clowns have brought upon the town. Post 'em if you got 'em.

Amend those posts to include their links and I'll crosspost them to "Wareham, Outside Looking In".

Follow the link posted above by Bill and you'll see he has created a list of several articles detailing the past BOS' bad behavior.
I looked over a few and came across an old posting "Dubious Gift." To my surprise, there was a part at the end with Sweet Brucey yelling at a TV reporter to turn a camera off that I never knew existed.
I remember watching the story but most have fallen asleep or something during the end.
