The Empty-Prize has long since ceased being a reputable source of local coverage, but the article below, appearing on WEDNESDAY pretending to comment on the MONDAY, 11/19 BOS Meeting is more lacking than its usual poor quality.
An examination of the coverage available for surrounding towns indicates that the media group similarly shortchanges the entire region. So much for media consolidation!
The Selectmen's Meeting was + 3 hours long, covered a wide range of issues, several rather significant, and that's all that was Fit to Print?
Selectmen Chairman Marsha L. Brunelle said she was “tired” of the negative statements regarding a casino in Middleboro
Of Mrs. Brunelle's comments, one might ask where and when she allowed the public to ask questions or comment.
Anyone recall the well-deserved nickname 'Gavel Queen'? Anyone remember Mrs. Brunelle reading a determination from the state affirming her RIGHT to ignore voters right to speak at public meetings? When did the Middleboro BOS in their arrogance present unbiased information? How about that 'INFORMATIONAL MEETING' that was to be held prior to the Town Meeting From Hell?
To paraphrase Mrs. Brunelle's comments, when will voters 'tire' of her?
“This is an economic engine for the region and it will bring other things that are more positive,” said Perkins.
Is that why the need to cram it down everyone's throat with no dialogue, discussion or fact finding? Is that why you sold the Town for $7 Million, Mr. Perkins?
Middleboro doesn't belong on the Regional Task Force and the arrogance of the BOS is embarrassing!
Officials: Newsletter unfairly targets casino

MIDDLEBORO— Selectmen made it clear Monday night that the November newsletter of the Southeastern Regional Planning & Economic Development District, which targeted the proposed casino in Middleboro, was an unfair attack, and the board voted unanimously to invite the executive director to meet with SRPEDD officials to discuss it.
