2/26/2009 Gazette
This weeks Gazette is full of interesting articles and letters to the editor.
Bumpkin’s Corner – my bi-weekly column gives an overdue update on the CPA effort. That alone is worth the price of the paper, at least to my mom.
Word on Carcier v. Kempthorne/Salazar) came in at the 11th hour leaving editor Jane Lopes just enough time to opine that the already slim chances for a Middleboro casino have become much slimmer.
A great letter from former CFO president Jacquie Tolosko pointing out that the myopic BOS might do with some reading glasses so they can see the impacts and realities that have been pointed out repeatedly by casino opponents for almost 2 years now.
Another great letter from Mike Solomini about the Middleboro BOS’s reluctance to follow open meeting law. At the last BOS meeting, Mr. Solomini asked the BOS to amend meeting minutes to include the germane content of a discussion about the BOS’s connections with the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, it’s investors/handlers, and gifts they had received. Spataro and to a lesser degree Brunelle, put on a quite a display that fortunately has been immortalized in a video that will be posted soon.
The Gazette is still only 50 cents and this week’s issue would be a bargain at twice that price.

I couldn’t agree more!
I read it from cover to cover. Enjoyable!
I do hope that you post the video soon. I’d really love to watch it, I think ever one who lives in Middelboro should see it. I was at the meeting but couldn’t really tell what was going on, I was sitting in the ‘cheap seats’!
