NOTES BETWEEN PRINTED EDITIONS
The Broadside was provided with the following “MASTER NOTICE OF WARD COMMITTEE ORGANIZATIONAL MEETINGS” earlier today, with a claim that the Brockton City Committee and it’s seven ward committees have not met in a timely fashion and are thus subject to re-organization.
Simply stated, if you were on the ballot and elected to a seat on a Republican Ward Committee in Brockton, your position is now apparently challenged.
The notice, provided by Stephen V Pina, and apparently issued by Geoff Diehl State Committeeman, Second Plymouth & Norfolk Massachusetts Republican Party, comes on the heels of recent jockeying for delegates for various candidates at the upcoming MassGOP nominating convention.
The matter is expected to be heard by the Superior Court prior to the planned meeting,
Frankly, we don’t know what to think of this. Theoretically, a lot of delegates for the MassGOP Convention can be harvested from the large city of Brockton.

I got “reorganized” out of my elected position as chair of the Arlington RTC and replaced by Donnarose Russian by Helen Hatch with co-conspirator Amy Carnevale. Its how MassGOP leaders can steal votes by avoiding a democratic election process. I’m done with MassGOP and any thoughts of ever donating to them.
