Comment on Macero Making Mark: Hiring of Assistant Principals Makes Sense by randyandy

randyandy — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 21:43:00 +0000

The School Department comes up more than $200,000 short for special education, and comes hat in hand to the town for a bailout. Yet, the lack of financial wisdom that got the School Committee in that trouble is ignored with promotions of a couple of assistant principles. Whether such bureaucrats are need or not is beside the point, where in its budget is the superintendent going to find the extra money to pay the two promoted officials? And are they related to somebody already holding some office in the town?

Comment on Pols on Polls: Letterie Expects Decision on Polling Locations at Next Meeting by randyandy

Letterie says he voted against his own mother. Ok, but I got lost in the tide of evidence that the deli guy found that persuaded him to vote against the town’s seniors. What was that evidence the town clerk offered to move the voting places and try to create more lines, and thus more inconvenience the way this town gummint loves to do?
