Oh, where to begin? Select Board Chairperson, Leon E. Correy III, actually said out loud and into the microphone, “Two more meetings” during one of his despicable displays of disrespect for fellow board member Bob Espindola.
Such a dedicated public servant, huh?
So, Mr. Correy, why don’t you do us all a favor and just stay home for the next two meetings and let the grownups take over? Because I assure you that you are not the only one counting the meetings.
I hereby absolve you of the responsibility of going to the next two meetings (picture me making the sign of the cross or using incense like the Catholics do).
Two more meetings…
In that same meeting Mr. Correy told Mr. Espindola he should be ashamed of himself for insisting that the topic for discussion was not appropriate for executive session. Town Counsel confirmed (of course) that Mr. Espindola was correct. Town Counsel made it clear that they were not talking about that thing, but the other thing (see page 4).
Did Mr. Correy apologize to Mr. Espindola? Of course not. Because that, undoubtedly, would require you to be a grownup, clearly a task beyond your capacity. Two more meetings, indeed. One can only hope.
So, do you like our cover this week? I was out and about trying to find a good shot for the cover when I came upon those hardworking oyster guys. Brrr… Well, it was warm for February, around 50 degrees, but….brrr anyway. Still too cold for me to be on the water.
I’m a totally fair weather boater. Just a few more weeks, though, right? Yup.
We have other meeting coverage this week. The BPW had a lot of resident input on the proposed new trash fee. See page 3 for that.
We also have some fun stuff in here, of course. See page 12 for when you can see a ballet version of “Hansel and Gretel” right in Fairhaven.
And, last, but certainly not least, we have a primary this Tuesday. See page 17 for who is on the ballot, etc.
