Anyone Seen this Guy?
Sat, 12/29/2007 - 03:31 — admin
Seems like this guy who holds not one but two important posts in local government has gone-missing. Not only has he been absent for several BOS 
meetings, the folks at the BMRDSC have not seen him since June. The word on the street, is that although he keeps a Blackstone address, he seems to be actually residing in Uxbridge.
Come on now Kramer. Time for you to leave public service. The voters deserve better. Election time is fast approaching. If you can't make the committment, now is the time to leave, so someone can run for the two seats you currently hold. I was going to say occupy, but that would be a stretch.
This is a negotiation year at the BMRSD, Blackstone needs full representation. Not to mention, our kids deserve better than what you have to offer.

Maybe my friend Kramer is in Florida with my friend Kevin Ryan from the Board of Health? Both are out sight but we know Ryan is in Florida. Perhaps they might even hold local office in that state....who knows? One thing we all know is that the right thing would be for them to leave the office they hold in Blackstone. Both positions have serious problems and we the citizens are being short changed because of their absence. The token amount of money they get paid should be returned to the taxpayers with intrest for failing not only to perform their duties but also the violation of the oath they both took after being elected to office. Oh well enough said.....and one wonders why the citizens speak so low about Gov. officials. We do have by-laws in place that tells us how we can deal with situations like this but it would take many people and lots of work to remove them both from office.....however if (sleeze) comes into play....and it might.....then we could have (deals) worked out,only time will tell. Rather than a good deal, which is what we should have, it could be a raw deal which would prohibit a good person from holding one of the offices we are talking about. We will watch it unfold and the speak again..time tells all.
REPRESENTATION
I could not agree more!
Blackstone needs EVERYONE to participate in the process, not just a select few.
Attend the Board of Selectmen meetings, the School Department meetings, and see for yourself, what REALLY goes on in this town.
15 of us stood up against this town, questioning our recent water bills. We heard the same old song and dance routine, "maybe you did not pay attention before", "Now you are, because the bills are higher, and a more accurate reading".
Folks, when you receive between $ 300.00 to $400.00 on average, then you receive a $ 1, 400.00 dollar bill, there is something wrong!!!
Question your bill, and if you have a new meter, lift up the cover and check the amount against your bill, AND PAY ATTENTION TO IT!!!

I couldnt agree with you more. Bob K. should do the right thing and give someone else a chance that wants to serve and is able to.
Nomination papers are availible jan 17th. If he resigns after that these two positions become vacant unless there is special election.
I would like to see him look at people right in the eye and tell them he is truly a resident of the town. The people elected him fair and square, now it is turn to do whats right. Selectman Bob Dubois
