Concealing ignorance in Executive Sessions may be a violation of Open Meeting Laws, but the Middleboro Board of Selectmen has never allowed that to stop them.
The Chairwoman, not the brightest bulb in the circuit and mostly content to wallow in her own ignorance, never one to question, has her own agenda that doesn't include accurate information or public discussion.
Does anyone remember when Selectwoman Marsha Brunelle wanted Town Counsel to negotiate the agreement with the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe to save money? Surely town counsel has negotiated many Tribal Agreements and is fully familiar with IGRA, IRA, pertinent landmark court decisions and such! [insert sarcasm emoticon]
Does anyone remember when Marsha Brunelle and Wayne Perkins refused to allow a public discussion of Jack Healey's land auction that was advertised ONLY in Middleboro's weekly newspaper that cheated taxpayers out of a fair and reasonable price for the proposed 'casino property' ? Remember, those were the parcels Jack Healey, former Town Manager was seen poring over Assessors' Maps with Stephen Graham selecting? Sorry, Jack! Remember that day when I forgot my coffee mug and the doors to the Selectmen's Meeting Room were closed? And there were other times, as well.
There's much else in the convoluted history of the secret deals and misinformation of the BOS that seems unending.
Fortunately, their current ignorance seems harmless, but provides fodder for amusement and helps define their willingness to pursue Mushroom Farming, a thriving industry in Middleboro's Town Hall. (You know? Kept in the dark and fed a diet of manure?)
It was embarrassing that the Middleboro BOS sent a letter to the BIA, mostly staffed with Native Americans and known for its corruption, advising that the Tribe is not to be trusted. Chicanery? Paallleeeaze! Wasn't anyone in Town Hall paying attention to Abramoff?
I sure hope they sent that letter with Delivery Confirmation because the BIA has an obnoxious habit of losing things. Deliberate? One might wonder.
Now they believe Cedric Cromwell's Day Dream that he has magically submitted some kind of application to the BIA for LIT for their Fall River Fiasco.
Has anyone asked Cedric why the application has NOT appeared in the Federal Register? When was it submitted?
When the BIA officially accepts a trust land application, it's posted in the Federal Register.
No post in the Federal Register.
If they are adding the Fall River land, they have to post an intent to conduct an EIS at that site. Haven't seen that yet either.
It would appear there is no pending request for permission to game on that land with the only agency authorized to give Cedric permission to game.
This is classic Cedric --
In a prepared statement to The Enterprise, Cromwell, the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribal Council chairman, said the tribe “would like to work with (the town) to find a mutually beneficial use for the land.”
Oh? You mean the land the TRIBE does NOT own?

Thanks for your assistance, Cedric! [insert laughter track here]
