Kudos to Selectman Ahmed Mustafa for fighting for, and winning, a full-time employee for the veteran services office, and shame on the rest of the board of selectmen for their obvious lack of support for Selectman Mustafa, especially Chairman Kevin Murphy.
Instead of supporting the $11,000 staffing expenditure — which is necessary for Falmouth to get reimbursements from the state — Chairman Murphy pushed a $30,000 expenditure for a camera system that, if we just wait two years, we could get free from Comcast.
Whatever happened to prioritizing our spending?
