Is Waretown hiring its professionals on merit? Or for some other reason? Take a look at this chart of all contributors of amounts over $400 to the 2002 Primary and Election Campaign of Committeeman Robert Kraft, and form your own opinion. Is this one of the reasons development is in runaway?

Below is a list of all contributors in amounts over $400 in the 2002 Primary and General Elections to the campaign of Waretown Committeeman Robert Kraft. Are offices in Waretown for sale? You be the judge.

In reading this chart, please keep two things in mind: (1) Most of these “contributors” benefit from more, not less, development, and (2) These are your public tax dollars – Don’t get it? Just follow the nickel: From your pocket; to the tax collector; to the professional hired by the town; and into coffers of the political machine. It’s your money.
