When Selectmen don't believe it is inappropriate to text message during a meeting as Mr. Spataro did, there is clearly a problem.

What particularly caught my eye was the rumor that Middleboro's own engineer/minister/politico/mensa master/fictionfinder is considering a bid for Selectman. Well now, isn't that special!
