The whole thing just doesn't make sense to me. Andrews may be shifty, but he isn't stupid. $250,000 just doesn't make sense.

If Andrews is trying to buy Biz's silence, that's too much money to avoid public suspicion.

But then again, this information came from an anonymous blogger with a history of distorting the truth for personal and political reasons.

But then again, Bobo's doubt of info from a blogger comes from a clown who had an auction notice printed about his house.

He always was, even before he failed and closed up shop.  I just wish he'd have an ounce of respect for himself, realize that he's been nothing but a stooge for politicians all these years, and find something productive to spend his time on rather than continue to be a lackey for political hacks.

Jesus, you either quit or you don't quit.  News of the World quit and it stayed quit.  You don't see Rupert Murdoch going on to the News of the World site to have Sunday chats with people who were fans of that paper before it failed, do you?

Far more troubling, our selectmen voted in executive session two weeks ago to approve that rotten deal by a margin of 4 to 1; a quarter of a million dollars to keep quiet, plus no challenge to her unemployment benefit claims.

The lone selectman? Steve Holmes. Pick up your halo before you leave, Steve!

If Cara Winslow decides to run for public office in Wareham again, she's out of luck.

I am not defending Cara but is it possible the slime TA and Town counsel convinced her the town would not defend her if Biz sued her (as she threatened) and she had to defend herself by caving in.

Everyone knows Biz did not have a leg to stand on but Cara would still have to pay a lawyer to defend herself.  The medical bills her family has may be staggering.

If this is true and Cara cannot discuss it she may be in real pain.

Surrender is not easy but sometimes you have no choice.

I pray
when the time comes God judges these people harshly. Until then we need someone who knows the right agencies to call and ask for help.

I think a complaint to the democratic party leadership and a threat to vote republican until the Donahues and the garbage they brought here are put down.

250 K To The Biz,  230k To Lt Bliss ,bliss Had To Wate 3 Years For His Payout And He Was Actially Screwd By These Clowns ,the Biz Did The Screwing And She Gets Her Payout In A  Lot Less Time,wow A Half Million Dollars In Taxpayer  Funded Payots In The Last Month,a Lot In The Past And More To Come.

Good to hear.

Back to three.

I just  read it, Bill...funny how everything, STILL, is all about BoBo.

Me, me, me...poor me, thank the lord for me, me, me, me, me...oh, yeah, and the little girl...then me, me, me...

He truly is a clown, out of the loop, and pretending to be in it....numbnuts!

I haven't weighted in on this or much else for some time, but let me throw in my two cents.

First, nothing is "verified" and I doubt that the Selectmen would act in a manner that has been suggested.  A fair question would be "Why  do you feel that way?"

Let me cite three things that mitigate against a clandestine settlment that-if there were one-would be "good" for Mr Andrews but require extensive explantion by the Selectmen.

The April 4, 2011 letter:  "...You failed to carry  out your responsibilities as Town Accountant in a timely, honest and professional manner."  This letter is fact and I was surprised-and troubled-by the use of the single word "honest" which implies something beyond incompetence, at least to me. On matters of honesty, particularly in the government arena I turn into a true Jesuit, it is black or it is white, there are no shades of gray, no nuances.

The Hearing:  Mr Powers under cross examination reluctantly, when asked, characterized the actions of Ms Zaleski as fraud.  And I say  reluctantly because if I understood it correctly-and I think that I did-the audit rules that govern such an occurence left him no choice.  My thinking at the time was that he would have preferred a softer characterization.  But it was what if was.

The Hearing:   A question was asked of Mr Powers if he knew-or what he knew- of a telephone conversation between Ms Zaleski and Mr Andrews in which Mr Andrews supposedly said that the termination was political or words to that effect.  Mr Powers responded in the negative, that he was not privy to that conversation.   My guess is that if Mr Andrews had to take off his presiding officer cap and plop down in the witness chair that he woud have to answer that question.  That response, if it indeed was made, is in itself not of great moment here in Wareham, but get in front of a real jury  and real judge, it might be a tipping point, again if it was in fact "said."

To conclude, and to restate my opening remark, I can certainly understand why Mr Andrews wants this to go away.  But I can not believe the Selectmen would sweep this under the carpet, there is more than money involved here, there is a person's integrity being questioned and quite frankly the town's as well. There should be an honest and open forum on this and that has begun and, it will, I hope continue.

Me, I would take my chances in court if I were the town and yes it could be expensive but we have to stand to the line at some point.  It all turns on the use of the word "honest."  Prove-if need be in court-that questioning the honest conduct was an appropriate expression of fact and not just petulance on the part of an individual, and the town prevails.  If it can not be proven, then Ms Zaleski prevails and her reputation is restored. 

However, and this really is my conclusion, I have been wrong before, I hope this not to add to my record in that regard.

It is obvious that the Finance Committee is being totally ignored, and their advise is not sought after or listened to if provided.

VERY serious problem. The Fin Com is the ultimate "checks and balances" group you have in Town. To shut them out is incompetent... and dangerous.

Why would he settle at all if he felt she deserved to be fired?  I'm not sticking up for her by any means, but all I know is the TA won't have to go through any more embarrassing public hearings bringing his actions into question and I doubt we'll ever really know what happened behind the scenes.

And isn't it sad that the powers that be only shared this through the website of a failed paper?  They can only communicate through the mouthpiece and have to drag his ass out of retirement just to communicate with the public?

Why's that old hag IP going after Guy Incognito?  I just responded to postings about the settlement, I didn't report it.
