Matt, you forgot to mention that the contracts that are not going out for bid on the State's Central Register could be costing the tax payers a fortune. Case in point: The designer services for window replacement escalated from $84,000 to $207,000 in two years. These designer services do not have to go out for competitive bid on the Central Register. Matt, could you please tell us if the selectmen are receiving kick backs from the recipients of contracts that do not have to go out for competitive bid on the Central Register? Matt, Could you please tell us if there has ever been any public corruption in the State of Massachusetts? Could Mr. Cimaglia and his little buddie Mr. Newhouse actually be the little men in town?

I'm sick of Kevin's nonsense! MOVE OUT if you have a problem with EVERYTHING in this town! I think its pretty sad when there has to be police present at EVERY meeting due to Kevin!

Just curious - How late did the meeting to until last night?

Hey Kev, move out of this town you if you're so unhappy! Move to Cambridge where they welcome those with a deranged, paranoid thinking process with welcome arms. Clown...

MacDonald you are so confrontational, immature and bizarre words can't explain it.
As Tina said you are out of control. You have some serious issues that you should have looked at. To go to a meeting and have it last as long as it does because of your antic is an insult to all who attend. Do the town and the taxpayers a BIG favor stay away. Chairman Newhouse did the right thing for the town and taxpayers. Shut you up. Great job Mr. Chairman

This con-man needs to leave town immediately. There hasn't been a more destructive influence on this town since the Pilgrims began laying waste to the natives.

GBD! Thank you , and your right Mike Newhouse finally said what everyone else feels!!!! And Kevin when you leave take Mr OReilly with you !! Another Crazy in town!

Hey Kevin, you are right, come election time I WILL remember Mike Newhouse's decision. He's got my vote from now until he no longer choses to run. :)

BTW can a restraining order be taken out on this schmuck preventing him from attending future meetings?

Maya,Would you like to share your extensive research into the financially detrimental effects of having contracts not have to go out for competitive bid on the State's Central Register? Do you know if Mr. Newhouse is afraid of being exposed for allowing massive amounts of money to be wasted because of his bad decisions and if this is the reason that he doesn't want me to speak?

Kevin, clean your ears. Did you not hear what Mr. Newhouse had to say to you last night.
“Your bizarre and confrontational behavior has escalated, and at some point I recognized the road we are going down here,” said Newhouse.
“As a public servant, I am not going to have it on me and my conscience if ultimately something happens where a situation in this room escalates. And by a situation, sir, I am referring to you. I am not going to risk that.”
Time for you to ask Jesus to save you

Odd that Kevin and Richard Jertz posted the exact same comment! Is it Richard or is it Kevin? How many other made up personas do you use?

Since 1999 and I am sure it goes further back than this; http://www.wickedlocal.com/wilmington/news/x845563101/Wilmington-Town-Meeting-2009-Budget-approved-despite-debates#axzz2I4zHhzcb - Kevin once again told he is OUT OF ORDER and once again he is assuming things and making false claims against the town.

Perfect Wayne Sullivan just perfect.

I am concerned not about Kevin Mcdonald but about how little people actually know about what is going on in this town. This has always been a town that has let its buildings deteriorate to the point of destruction.
This high school is no different. Are we so obsessed with shiny and new that we have forgotten what actually delivers the education of the children? The efforts of the students, their parents and the teachers.
I am deeply concerned with the fact that the people of this town voted to overide prop 21/2, that was a mistake. Now our town fathers can just raise the taxes without limits. I think this town is out of control, the high school has eliminated all the books in the library? what is that about?where have these books gone? Were they destroyed? These books were pieces of history. I cannot bear to think of some of the books and periodicals that were just tossed with no thought as to the value of the books. I am quite sure that myself my grandparents, mother, father touched several these books . I am very concerned that this action has taught the students that there is no value placed in the historical significance of the books. Or the value of a library.

The new and shiny high school is not even a reality yet and this town is acting more in a selfish way than thinking about the students presently in the school. I am not aware of all the laws and regulations relative to the abutters in this matter, however they have rights. The due process of the law needs to go forward. Delays in this project should have been foreseen. What exactly does make up this 1.8 million in fees. I am quite sure it is not Kevin and his fears about this project.
The people in this town should be concerned about this project for so many reasons. also why is t be demolished in the middle of a school year. Gym is a requirement where are these kids supposed to have gym? Is it going to be sunny and nice out everyday so they can go outside? No..... I have heard that yoga will be offered.... are you kidding me?

Kevin no longer can talk at meetings, he still has his right to post here, but everyone should ignore him and not respond to him, let him post his garbage here, just ignore him, he is no longer relevant, actually he never was.

Oh look, it's Mike the Hack!!! (Channeling Kevin)

Mr. Newhouse was absolutely correct. It is abundently clear that MacDonald is mentally unstable. Linginfelter doesn't even want to talk to him anymore. What does it say when you are so far gone the other town cranks don't want to be associated with you? He is an alienated, disgruntled loner with no wife, no kids, no apparent job, whose whole existence is defined by one issue: stopping the new High School. So what happens when this issue is over? If, God forbid, he were to go off, would anyone in town ever say "Gee I would have never guessed... he was such a normal fellow." Enough is enough. Thank you Mike. Maybe folks will feel better about accessing their town meetings now.

The town has conduct hear after hearing on the new high school. The building committee has conduct hearing after hearing regarding building a new high school. At the Town Meeting the high school was overwhelmingly approved. Yes abutters have rights as do all residents of the town. The abutters have had 3 appeals and have lost all of them. The Prop 2 ½ override is for the new school only, the town cannot raise taxes regarding Prop 2 ½ unless it goes to a town meeting. A new high school will be something the student will be proud of and bring Wilmington up to date with today’s technology.

I like what Jean had to say. As for the kindle comment a lot of people still like books especially older people. I believe they still have rights.

Thank God for Shawsheen Tech...or even a good homeschool program.

There is no point in arguing with an insane person.....he will think he is correct no matter what....thank you Mr Newhouse...I only hope this deranged individual can be removed from from attending any town meetings based on his disruptive behavior.

Mike

Why is he allowed to go to these meetings? If this isn't a clear case of an unstable individual threatening the well being of others at a public assembly, I dont know what is.

I never met MacDonald, but I have been told so much about him it never have I heard a good word said of him. Sounds like maybe they should make a bed available for him at the Tewksbury Hospital.

Since I moved to Wilmington 19 years ago Mike Newhouse has always been a voice of reason for the Board.Do you remember years ago when everything that came up before the Board turned out to be Cain against McCoy.Mike was always the deciding vote back then. Mike always(in my mind) has done what was best for the town.As for the comment about voters deciding at the polls-Mike is always first in the voting by the towns people.Now I just think his percentage will be a little higher with his decision not to let Kevin talk at Board meetings anymore.Keep up the good work Mike Newhouse.I'll be voting for you again and again.

What is the term used for institutionalizeing a person without his will?

The town now needs to put a 1.75 million dollar lien on Kevin's property to cover the costs that the town now has for appeals that he keeps hitting the town with.

A comment has been deleted for violating Patch's terms of use.

Hey Kevin

I do not know you and am new to the town so I hope you will indulge me a little because like some of the posters here I have heard only bad things about you. However since I do not know you I will reserve judgement.

Why do you oppose so many proposals in town? Are you married? Do you have children? Are you a homeowner here?

The reason I ask these questions is to try to understand you and the town a little better

With all due respect, Mr. MacDonald, you need to shut your trap and let them build the school. And while you're at it, maybe pay all the money you've cost the town by stalling this? Seriously, how can one person stall a project this long. What's wrong with giving us a new school? You don't want to pay, leave the town.

See Wooden Shoe the King won't answer any questions he goes on to another news page so he ( won't be seen ) and can AVOID every question he WON'T answer..... Kevin is the biggest mole you will ever see ( not a mouse ) a mole they are just a little and i mean LITTLE smarter than a mouse. Likes to hide and comes out when he thinks he can not be seen........

MacDonald maybe you will now realize that no one and I mean no one like you or wants to talk to you and whats sad is NO one respects you. All they do is making fun of you. Why! Because we all understand you, you’re a loner, no one cares about you. If your comments made any since maybe we could have a real discussion. A conversation with you is like talking to a 2 year, Oh I apologize to all the 2 year olds out there. After listening to you at many meetings, reading your comments and then listening to the professionals I’ve come to the conclusion that you have no idea what you are talking about. What you say is nothing more than a fabrication of the truth. You make things up on the go. You have never shown any evidence to back up what you are saying. You are a little man trying to make a name for himself. Well you did it but I’m not allowed to write it in this blog. Let’s vote on it who wants MacDonald to leave.

"It bears stressing that First Amendment rights are not absolute during public-comment periods of open meetings. Speakers can be silenced if they are disruptive. Disruption has been defined to include far more than noisiness and interference. For example, a federal district court in Ohio wrote in Luckett v. City of Grand Prairie (2001) that “being disruptive is not confined to physical violence or conduct, but also encompasses any type of conduct that seriously violates rules of procedure that the council has established to government conduct at its meetings.”
“A speaker may disrupt a Council meeting by speaking too long, by being unduly repetitious, or by extending discussion of irrelevancies,” the 9th Circuit wrote in White v. City of Norwalk. “The meeting is disrupted because the Council is prevented from accomplishing its business in a reasonably efficient manner. Indeed, such conduct may interfere with the rights of other speakers.” " - David L. Hudson Jr. First Amendment Scholar.

I think that going forward, those that do not have a basic understanding of M.G.L. c.149A, should stop questioning the process. To think that there is some kind of widespread corruption under the regulations dealing with this type of project, is a tad bit crazy.

Kevin is someone's son, brother, nephew, cousin, friend. If you don't agree with his politics, then do some research and present an intelligent argument for debate. Getting personal is ugly, hurtful and usually a tactic for one who has run out of fact-based, educated arguments to present.
