Adam Bond asks questions regarding the proposed Lakeville / Freetown casino project at the May 22, 2012 meeting



May 23, 2012 @ 12:08 AM
Residents of Freetown and Lakeville stepped up to the microphone at Apponequet Regional High School on Tuesday to ask questions or offer an opinion about a casino proposal by the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head, Aquinnah, but only one resident spoke in favor of the proposal. The majority of the crowd was skeptical and hostile to the plan.

Adam Bond invites the voters of the 12th Bristol district to attend an open “Meet & Greet” campaign kick-off at the VFW in Middleboro.  This free event will be held from 7:00 to 9:00PM on Friday, June 8, 2012.    The VFW is located at 12 Station Street in Middleboro.  There will be light refreshments and a cash bar available.  

This is the first of several Meet & Greet events Bond has planned for the district.  “I believe that Representatives need to be constantly accessible to the voters in a very public way.   I welcome questions and suggestions; I encourage public discourse about my positions and ideas.  For me, the people’s interests are more important than party lines,” Bond said.

Bond, a local attorney, with his practice in downtown Middleboro, served on the Middleboro Board of Selectmen for more than five years. He has been a vocal advocate for lower taxes, civil right’s, and responsible government management.  While a selectman, he consistently voted against property tax increases and the trash fee.  More recently, he drafted H3282 for submission by Rep. Thomas Calter, and testified before the Legislature about that bill.  The Bill seeks to ensure the MA homeowner a day in court before foreclosure proceedings – a right provided in almost every other New England state.  Adam successfully fought to establish that school bus drivers are recognized as mandated reporters of child abuse and neglect, testifying before the Legislature for changes in the Mandated Reporter Statute (51A).  He continues to fight for all Veterans’ Rights, and currently the Blue Water Navy Veterans under the Agent Orange Equity Act.  Most recently, he was asked to join the Casino Advisory Committee of Lakeville and has worked with East Taunton residents, offering his legal expertise to understand the Taunton IGA.

“I have been working for the people of this district for many years, not as their Representative, but as their neighbor, or sometimes as their attorney, and many times as their friend.  I am ready to go the State House and advocate for this district in an official capacity,” Bond said.

He will be hosting open Meet & Greet events in Lakeville, Berkley, East Taunton and Middleboro, the towns that make up the newly redistricted 12th Bristol. 

"I support Adam because he supports veterans, motorcycle riders, and the right to bear arms.  Let's vote for People Before Party."

Adam Bond provides advice to veterans on VA Claims and State
 benefits at the Veterans' Expo 2012, at the Middleborough Elks.

March 17, 2012 -- At the Union Street Church of Our Savior, Karen Cook, her husband Kevin and a large and dedicated group of volunteers served an excellent breakfast to a rather large turn out of diners.  The food was excellent.  The service was excellent.  The cause is an excellent cause.  I hope to see more of these meals, and to eat quite a few in the future.  Congratulations to Karen and Kevin, and all those who volunteered and attended the Grand Opening of All Are Welcome.

Mark Belanger aka Bellicose Bumpkin comments on the resignation:
"Agree with Bond or not, but what he did and why he did it was articulated very clearly in his resignation statement.  Providing you listened. The question you should be asking is not “What is Adam Bond’s problem”, it is “What the hell is the rest of the BOS doing?  Or not doing."
