Well, the last Sunday Meeting exploded over the infestation in the Museum and Meeting House maintenance, and you know why. Racoons and varmints run amuck in the Avant house. And you also know that the smell was horrific. Those facilities are under the purview of Historic Preservation….that would be David Weeden. Now, if Da Magpie would stop
Sticking to the Cromwell mantra, travel like hell, do as little as possible and let the Tribe pick up the tab.
blocking economic development projects with flaky demands and attend to his own very real responsibilities, he may not get so many eye rolls. But what does he care? He was on the Bermuda junket with the Photo Op Wamps.
Tribal Members want answers and he was on the beach in Bermuda. Within days of Weeden’s return, the Secretary of the Department of Interior was scheduled to visit the museum. The scramble to clean the place up, move the mashoon canoes, and make it presentable was done by tribal members. Magpie was nowhere to be found. The man is just unconscionable.
A lot was going on for Magpie… after his humiliating defeat in his bid to be chair of the Mashpee Board of Selectman, he probably needed a break….a respite.
That effort to hold on to the post for a full term was brutal. First the Tribal Chairman spoke on his uncle’s behalf. That was pretty hostile and didn’t move the needle. After one of Magpie’s supporters stopped shouting from the back of the room, about a staff matter…. they began the vote process,
A selectwoman nominated Weeden, without a second. She noted that Roberts Rules of Order allowed that. But it was a bad sign.
He got the Selectwoman’s vote, 2 neas, and 2 abstentions, one of which was Weeden’s. So John Cotton won 3 – 2 abstentions…you know who that was. Wow So impolitic.
His relationship with most of the board is not good…but recognized protocol dictates that the looser motions for a unanimous vote of support for the winner. To show unity and good sportsmanship. Not David. And it’s not like Weeden’s work ethic is any better on the Board of Selectman. He has a real aversion to actually doing something. Lotta talk.
But he’s still making moves. Jim Peters, who is fast approaching 75 is planning to retire as the Massachusetts Commissioner of Indian Affairs. Guess who plans to assume the position? David Weeden. So despite his lack of any kind of work ethic he’s serious.
The bad part is that he thinks it’s ok. Think again.
“Work like you’ve never won. Win like you’ve never lost.”
