Section 21A: Members of municipal commission or board; restrictions on appointments to certain positions
Section 21A. Except as hereinafter provided, no member of a municipal commission or board shall be eligible for appointment or election by the members of such commission or board to any office or position under the supervision of such commission or board. No former member of such commission or board shall be so eligible until the expiration of thirty days from the termination of his service as a member of such commission or board.
The provisions of this section shall not apply to a member of a town commission or board, if such appointment or election has first been approved at an annual town meeting of the town.
Keep track of this law, it might be important at Town Meeting.
Exciting !
ReplyDeleteIt’s like Matlock !
DeleteMatlock is preparing a brief under MSBA 70B.

It means that, since the $50,000,000 boondoggle is a Templeton project, overseen by the Selectmen, that State Law prohibits any Selectboard Member from serving on the TESBC.
ReplyDeleteThanks Judge Anna - “ boondoggle” . Good luck with that.
ReplyDeleteShould be interesting to watch new town counsel "opine' on this topic.
ReplyDeleteI thought the idea was to not add or make changes to the bylaws until the codification process was complete? So if these bylaw changes pass, and are approved by the AG's office, will the codification need to be revised?
Let's keep chasing our tail, it's a great math avoidance strategy...like getting a headache and going to the nurse when you have a math test.
“Tyler Durden” let’s not fight. It’s not a club.
DeleteI foresee here a chalkboard Venn diagram of positions, committee locations with words like “ boondoggle” and “ my opinion .... based on facts !!!!” Coming soon.
ReplyDeleteGo ahead and change the subject. You deflect like Trump would.
DeleteThis blogs political rants of cutting socials sevices and freedom to be poor , blasting unions , teachers etc etc has Trump written all over it. #bootstraps
ReplyDeleteAnymore suggestions on budget savings ? Perhaps some thoughts on that instead of arguing.
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew line items I do not. From what I hear / read / see .. this budget is very close to the margin . If there are items to eliminate/reduce I would like to see them.
ReplyDeleteMore tax revenue is needed there is no getting around it. my 2cents and more
I thought of Bev when I read this. I hope she sees hope in this I do.
ReplyDelete“Schools also would be required to offer courses in American history and civics that teach students about the structure of local, state and federal government, the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, state and federal electoral processes, as well as the "roles and responsibilities of a citizen in a democracy."
Lawmakers and education advocates say kids aren't learning enough about government.
"We believe this bill will fortify Massachusetts' civic education curriculum and set a foundation for the next generation of leaders," said Senate President Harriette Chandler, D-Worcester, one of the bill's primary sponsors, at a press briefing. The proposal goes before the Senate for a vote on Thursday.

Thank you, Memory deficit 8A,M. Bev.
DeleteYou’re welcome Bev .
DeleteThat really makes me upset I don’t know how others feel here but that’s not right.
DeleteI’m addressing the ADA comments. Sorry if Amy confusion I am I support of civics lessons. I doubt if I asked a random sampling of people ( who should know ) rudimentary answers like how many senators / reps , never mind who or what is a committee or sub commitee I would get an don’t answer.
DeleteOur schools are wasteful and are primarily concerned with indoctrination of students to the ideas of Big Teachers Union. They're doing a terrible job, give them more money and all problems will go away.
ReplyDeleteThat post anon 824 sounds familiar . Where have I read that .. some blog I’m sure .. this blog also had “ theories “ of electric meters spying on you, newtown Las Vegas and of course Florida massacres were hoaxes perpetrated on Americans who drink fluoridated water I think or brush their teeth I’m not sure .. I will check it out though
ReplyDeleteBack to the subject at hand, it appears that the Selectmen have absolutely no idea what the laws are. And if you have the ever broken the law that you did not know about then you are guilty of breaking law whether you knew about it or not.
ReplyDeleteDoes the country know this ? Idk asking for a friend.
