Frankly I'm not concerned with Ms. Esty's motivation, political or otherwise. In my opinion, the end justify the means. I was absolutely unaware of the sex offender population in Framingham. In reading the article in the Tab, I was disturbed by the fact that the registry list is frequently torn down. Does anyone know whether this list can be found on the Framingham Police Dept. site or http://www.framingham.com/? I'm happy to know there are watch dogs like Ginger Esty in town government.
Thank you Michael Wishnow -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 11:12 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TAB Article I have been waiting for someone to react to the article on Ginger Esty in the TAB. I hope I am not the only one who had a reaction. I expect verbal bricks to be thrown my way but feel I must speak up anyway. I was appalled at the nastiness of Mr. McCormack and Mr. Desilets as they tried to present their case. The words 'rabblerouser' and 'demogogue' were infammatory and unseemly. Especially so because Mr.Desilets is an employee of SMOC and responisble to that organization in what he says and does. The article misses the point of Mrs. Esty's responsibility to the people of Framingham. If it is true that the other Selectmen are distancing themselves from her on the discussed issue then maybe it is time that they paid attention to what she is saying. If Framingham only had 10 sex offenders it would be noticeable, If we had twenty it would be enough, 30, 40.... but we have 61( according to the article). Would Mr. Desilet and Mr. McCormack want this to be kept secret from the people in the community.It seems like they do. I am glad Mrs. Esty brought the situation to the public. Mrs. Esty also led the fight on the wet shelter. Until she spoke up the residents abutting the shelter had to put up with an intolerable situation. After things were brought to the fore SMOC made changes to their program.The situation has improved for all. It should be noted that 80% of the people using the wet shelter are from other communities. Only 20% are from Framingham. Again, I am glad that Mrs. Esty spoke up. The article also pointed out that Framingham has many social services in place to help whoever lives here.We do,and I am proud of our town. We support our people and our schools with funding and overrides. Many towns don't. We pay for the social services in our taxes. SMOC is a valuable part of our community and helps many people. But they use the services in place and do not pay taxes for those services. ( The CEO, Mr. T. Cuddy doesn't even live here.) They should be mindful of this as they continue to do their good works.
