Pig Fest of spending and hiring? You decide!

Middleboro voters were told at the Annual Town Meeting (ATM) that cuts WOULD NOT be restored.

Middleboro voters denied a retirement package, yet the BOS 'found' money to accomplish their goal in defiance of ATM voters.

Doesn't that mean that there's 'extra' stashed within budgets?

ATM voters approved a Fire Department budget with an Administrative Assistant working 24 hours per week, and cutting 2 Fire Fighters.

The BOS replaced the 2 Fire Fighters, promoted another, increased the hours of the Adm. Asst. based on a 'future' Town-owned ambulance service that will NEVER break even, never mind generate revenue.

The School Department requested additional funds, but neglected to deduct over-funding. Credibility? Don't they have a business manager?

The BOS hired a part-time Town Accountant with sick pay accumulation included in his contract.

Now, our newly hired 'interim' Town Manager, another part-time employee who will be gone when the 'mud' hits the fan next year, proposes a pig fest of hiring and spending from one-time revenues.

Did Middleboro need another SHILL to do BOS bidding and continue along the fiscal path to disaster?

Watch him closely. Isn't he great at ducking the hard questions and conspicuously experienced at it?

Has he neglected to read the boring part of the Town Charter that assigned certain dull fiscal tasks to the Finance Committee? Why has the FinComm been deliberately denied information amidst the Chairwoman's newest 'Let's pretend there's transparency' campaign?

While the BOS pretended to conduct a 'HEARING' on the Warrant Articles for the 11/5 STM, where was an accurate presentation of the information? Isn't that the purpose of a PUBLIC HEARING?


PLEASE REMEBER WHAT YOU SPEND NOW YOU WON'T HAVE NEXT YEAR. WHAT IS PROPOSED IS BASED ON ONE-TIME REVENUE.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WE HAVE MAJOR REPAIRS REQUIRED TO ASSURE ACCREDITATION OF THE HIGH SCHOOL. AND WHAT OF THE PARKS DEPARTMENT?

WHAT YOU APPROVE OR IGNORE THIS YEAR WILL CREATE HAVOC NEXT YEAR.

MIDDLEBORO'S BOND RATING IS BASED ON POOR FISCAL MANAGEMENT. LET'S WORK TO MAKE IT BETTER. AND LET'S EMPLOY SOME FISCAL RESTRAINT.

PLEASE ATTEND 11/5.
