Why you should vote Richard Barrett and Aaron Morse!

Posted

Those of us that felt it was important enough to attend our town meetings last year, some at great effort due to age or other hardship and feel our right to vote the second most important privilege to being an American, were mystified to say the least, that not once but three times had our votes nullified by eight of ten school committee members. How, you and I asked, could this happen in the United States of America!!!? Well come to find out by Mass State Law they could actually do this. Mind you they could do this! They did not have to! So my question is how could they disregard and negate an overwhelming majority vote? I have never seen or heard an explanation, but how could they even think about defending such an egregious decision. The three school committee members who voted to ignore our 80 % plus majority vote are Katherine Cooper, Craig Chapman, and Anthony Arrigo. Our other two members George Solas and Richard Barrett voted with the majority of the Towns voters not only because they agreed with them they knew it was the correct vote.

Richard Barrett and Anthony Arrigo are up for reelection June 30th. Please vote with me for Richard Barrett. A man who has common sense and can comprehend the reasoning behind such an overwhelming vote.  He will not abuse your right to vote!

It is with great pleasure that we have a new candidate to vote for in Aaron Morse. Aaron also has great common sense and an excellent grasp of the importance of an education along with the sense of responsibility to the tax payers, something that is seriously lacking in other school committee members.

Maybe it is time to start thinking about withdrawal from K-8.  That would give us a great deal of control back. 10 school committee members could NOT negate our votes and DESE would have much less control over us. The high school would only have 3 & 3 school committee and Rehoboth K- 8 would have a 3 Rehoboth resident school committee giving Rehoboth complete control of 2/3 of our school budget.

Please vote for Richard Barrett and Aaron Morse on June 30th. Keep in mind because of the present conditions you have the option of voting by mail. You can go to the Town web site and print out the application for a ballot. The ballot will be mailed to you and must be returned to the Town Clerk by June 30th. Voting is one of our most privileged rights and no one has a right to take it AWAY!!!

If you have any problems please call the Town Clerks office.

Thanks so much for taking the time to keep Rehoboth a special place to live.
