End of 2019: Resolve to be Involved in Onset in 2020!

Snow emergency info: https://www.wareham.ma.us/home/urgent-alerts/parking-ban-no-parking-when-snow-3-or-more

" During the hours of 7:45 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. the snow or weather emergency parking ban shall not apply to Main Street, from Chapel to the Tobey Homestead in the Wareham Village District, and Onset Avenue, from West Central to the Town Pier in the Onset Village District."

Onset Fire and Water agendas for December 11, 2019 are not yet posted. Note in the previous minutes that they are negotiating with Howard Anderson. Back for another bite at the taxpayers' apple? Mrs. Fernandes told him they "weren't saying no" to increasing his pension.

Minutes of the By-Laws Committee reveal an impending change in the entire governance structure. Please pay attention to this now, not only when it is presented as a "done deal" in May. http://static.wpb.tam.us.siteprotect.com/var/m_4/44/446/47238/846296-Sept_2019-6512b.pdf

How much of your money has the District spent prosecuting whistleblower Lisa Morales? In one day they paid Mary McCoy her $ 35.00 an hour to spend the morning admitting that their bogus "No Trespass Order" was neither served in hand nor posted on the premises as required by law as well as an attorney at least $ 250.00 an hour to represent her. More of your money thrown away, and it will continue.  Also spent were $$$ by Wareham PD, with more to come.  Add this to the $ 2,500 plus for their "investigation" into election tampering in May. By the way, only the Fire District owns the Sand Pond Road District. There is no lease or rental agreement for the water department.

The District refuses to release minutes of a meeting of 2018 when an alleged vote took place to issue, on their own, the No Tresspass Order, despite the fact that Ben Hughes gave a newspaper interview discussing it and inventing an "incident" to distract from his use of Frank Kowzic's address on nomination papers. Hughes did not then nor does he now live in the Onset Fire District. Transparency? Never.

Conservation Commission: Stonebridge Marina is doubling over 300 feet of bulkhead that never should have closed off the public coastal beach defined in the Decree of 1916 in the first place. Ask Marie Strawn or Marilyn Knowlton for details.  The video is here https://youtu.be/Z3A6xujlZKs?t=2824 Save Buzzards Bay? From Developers! There's a sign buried in the coastal bank that says it must be available to pedestrian access at all times.

Wareham took the single use plastic bag ban off of the town meeting warrant. Other towns all around us have already done it. Now the mylar-like bags from Verilife litter our shores, never to dissolve. But this is the town that pot built. Northampton's mayor was recently discussing the need to plan for after the initial MJ boom, as when everyone has shops it will be like every liquor store and smoke shop, so Northampton is planning ahead. Have you heard anything about that here? https://www.gazettenet.com/After-one-year-of-legal-weed-Northampton-sees-nearly-$3-million-in-revenue-and-counting-30616783

Stay watchful, Onset.
