I
have lived in Falmouth sine 1942. I have watched Falmouth gradually change
from a small rural town into what it is today. One of the major changes
occurred in 1962 with the introduction of the Council/Manager form of
government. It replaced the Selectman Town Meeting system that governed the
town for over a centaury, There have been good Councils and not so good
Councils. There have been good individual Councilors and not so good
individual Councilors. One of the worst Councilors, perhaps the worst of the
worst, was Chris Orestis. He was a rude, obnoxious blovating blow hard. His
acerbic hot air did nothing to advance civility or clam deliberation. An
example of his thoughtless bovating was his demand locally businessman Steve
Woods be sent the “toughest of tough messages” because the sign to his Route
One business had a few letters to small according to a local ordinance. As a
result Mr. Woods decided not to build a 2million expansion in “business
unfriendly” Falmouth. Orestis was late for Council meetings and missed several
meetings. He also absented himself from several votes for reason know only to
himself. After a series of e-mails, that became more and more insulting,
before his election to the Council he e-mailed the following on November
16,2011,”
I’m going to have sooooooooo much fun with you and your buddies for the next 6
years and beyond,,,,” The
reference to “beyond”
was to becoming governor some day. Fortunately the voters saw through him, his
blovating hot air and sent him packing with the clear and inescapable message
he is not fit for public service.
