The old saying goes “Problems are like a-holes,
everybody’s got ‘em and they all stink”.
In recent months the invocation of personal issues
and tragedies by those in Southbridge politics has grown to the point of annoying.
It reached a crescendo at last week’s town council
meeting.
One councilor elaborated upon the tragic passing of
a sibling as an explanation for being absent from a subcommittee meeting. This
prompted another to reference her having suffered a heart attack.
