Since his political career started as the elected property assessor in 1992, Senator Scott Brown's profile has risen yet to many in Wrentham, he is the same person they always knew.
Anyone who comes to Wrentham, probably can tell from the signs in front of house after house that the town residents for the most part are big fans of Senator Scott Brown. The story of someone who was an elected property assessor in 1992 only to become a US Senator in 2010 is an improbable one and it is one of a town that has stood by and supported. Brown is running for reelection against Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren. If there were to be a Republican star from Massachusetts, it makes sense that Wrentham would be home to that person. In a state that mostly supports Democratic candidates, Wrentham, along with surrounding towns like Plainville, Norfolk, and Foxborough, have been consistently supportive of Republican candidates or …

Selectmen hear reports on road work.
Wrentham selectmen were informed of the progress of road projects on Common Street and Williams Street at their meeting on Tuesday night. Town Administrator William Ketcham spoke about the projects as part of his report. He said the Common Street work was the more extensive of the two, with work expected to finish before Memorial Day. "The Common Street project involves placement of sidewalks on both sides of the street," he said. "There's also placement and resetting of curbing along the length of the street." Ketcham said the project would repave the street surface and revamp the crosswalks. "The crosswalks will be slightly raised over the rest of the street's surface," he said, adding that their height would be lower than a speed bump. …

Matters discussed at the Wrentham Board of Selectmen meeting.
The following matters were raised during Tuesday night's Board of Selectmen meeting in Wrentham: Town Administrator William Ketcham said bids had been opened for a Common Street resurfacing project. "[The project] will use Chapter 9 funds from this year, so we don't have to wait," he said. "There were seven bids, and the low bid was $74,495 by John J Amara & Sons." Board members asked if the firm was qualified, and Ketcham told them that all the bidders were prequalified by the state department of transportation. Ketcham also discussed work on the town's wastewater treatment system, which serves the town hall, public safety building and elementary schools. He said the lowest bid was much lower than the original estimate received. Ketcham …

Wrentham bylaw committee will consider utility maintenance bylaw proposed by State Rep. Dan Winslow.
The Wrentham Selectmen decided to refer a proposed utility bylaw — which would allow the town to require better line maintenance from utility companies — to the town bylaw committee. The bylaw proposal has been put forward by State Rep. Dan Winslow (R-Norfolk) in the wake of the extended power outages caused by Tropical Storm Irene and the Snowtober snowstorm. Town Administrator William Ketcham said the selectmen had previously considered the matter, and had asked for feedback from him and Department of Public Works Superintendent Irving Priest. "Mr. Priest and I were asked to comment on this, which we did," he said. "What wasn't clear was whether the board wanted to include the bylaw in the warrant for the town meeting or simply refer it …

Fire department wants to replace ambulance.
The Wrentham Fire Department will be looking to replace one of its ambulances, it was revealed at the Board of Selectmen meeting Tuesday. Wrentham Fire Department Chief Jay McMorrow said the issue has been lingering for some time. "We asked to replace Rescue 2 last year, and we were asked to put it off until this year," he said. "It needs to be replaced." McMorrow said the department would be seeking around $250,000 for the new vehicle. "The last one we bought was $227,000," he said. "Hopefully, we'll be able to give some money back." McMorrow said the department had been doing its best to keep the vehicle on the road, but that maintenance had been expensive. Selectman Joseph Botaish asked if equipment would be included. McMorrow said the …
