A new town budget, a new sewer budget and a new method for choosing the town s police chief were among the highlights of this week s Bourne Special/Annual Town Meeting.
More than 100 people filled the gymnasium at Bourne Middle School for Town Meeting Monday night, May 3. A total of 115 voting residents were in attendance when Town Meeting commenced, far exceeding the reduced quorum of 15 that town officials had recently approved. It was also more than double the 56 residents who were in attendance at the start of last November s Special Town Meeting.
Residents voted on a total of 21 articles, including Article 2 on the Annual Town Meeting warrant, authorizing the townâs proposed $71,735,576 general operating budget for Fiscal Year 2022. The approved amount represents a 1.53 percent increase over the current operating budget.
With Massachusetts on track to reach its target goal of 4.1 million people fully vaccinated by the beginning of June, the state will begin to reallocate its resources, Governor Charles D. Baker Jr. said at a press conference Monday morning, May 3.
The âharder-to-reach populationsâ will now be the target for the commonwealth.
âAt this point, weâre adjusting our vaccine distribution strategy to be more targeted and will shift vaccines to smaller-scale operations that can focus on particular communities or particular populations,â Gov. Baker said.
These smaller-scale operations will include more doses for 22 regional collaborations, doubled allocation for the 20 most impacted communities and an increase in the number of mobile vaccination clinics.

How did we ever get to this point … to the point where, as I put it in The Covidian Cult, “instead of the cult existing as an island within the dominant culture, the cult has become the dominant culture, and those of us who have not joined the cult have become the isolated islands within it?”
To understand this, one needs to understand how cults control the minds of their members, because totalitarian ideological movements operate more or less the same way, just on a much larger, societal scale.
I had a job helping people get jobs. Individuals with developmental disabilities. Brain injured, too. That job ended because I sent in a bunch of grievances about hostile work environment, a supervisor who threatened me and yelled at me, and an amazing half year of the most unprofessional work atmosphere I have ever experienced!
The Caribbean Genealogy Library will be hosting a presentation Saturday on print materials and records donated by the St. Thomas Graphics print business. The presentation will help publicize the launch of the organization’s Community Foundation and National Endowment for the Humanities grant-funded project to digitize portions of the collection for online viewing.
“The printed materials of this collection are very unique. St Thomas Graphics was one of the few printing workshops on the island. At a time prior to desktop computer publishing, the materials in the STGC capture a snapshot of the people and organizations in the late 20th century,” said Rob Upson, treasurer for the Caribbean Genealogy Library and a former president of the organization.
