Martha Coakley Gives Oral Hex

Ken O’Brien

According to the official website of the Office of The Massachusetts Attorney General, “Attorney General Martha Coakley is the chief lawyer and law enforcement officer of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.”

In that regard, Ms. Coakley is responsible for the actions of her numerous functionaries, especially when it comes to their actions in that official capacity as the chief law enforcement officer of the Commonwealth.

This fact has become especially relevant in regard to the amendments to the Home Rule Charter of the town of Southbridge that are now pending before the Joint Committee on Municipalities and Regional Government.

Where Is The Attorney General?

The Board of Health of the Town of Southbridge is comprised currently of two members, Anne Beinema and Rinaldo Bernadone.

In conformity with a point of order raised by former councilor Richard Logan, and as specifically provided for in the town charter, there is one vacancy.

Nevertheless, tomorrow evening (August 2), the subcommittee on Education and Human Services will vote on recommending to the full council the nomination of two additional members to the Board.

This is all part of an effort to return to the previously illegitimate five-member Board of Health and thus stack it with a majority that would favor the interests of our corporate overlords at Casella.
