The results are in from Tuesday’s town election, and the winners are an incumbent Selectman, School Committee and Sewer Commission newcomers and the incumbent Town Clerk.

Current Selectman Chair Patrick Tropeano earned 812 votes in that race. Anthony Scarsciotti, who earned 703 votes, also won a seat on the board, while Mary Ann Silva was reelected as Town Clerk for her seventh term. Silva trounced challenger Loren Franklin, 1,148 to 346.

“I’m looking forward to working with the board again and getting some things accomplished,” Tropeano said Tuesday night. “I appreciate everyone voting for me, and I want to say I work for everybody, even the people who didn’t vote for me.”

Looking ahead, Tropeano said he wanted to focus on boosting economic development as a Selectman.

Even though Selectman candidate John Ferranti earned third place with 615 votes, he was encouraged by the support.

“I’ll be back next year,” Ferranti said.

There were four contested races in this year’s election: four candidates sought two open seats on the Board of Selectmen, two candidates campaigned for Town Clerk, two for one open School Committee seat and two for one open Board of Sewer Commissioners seat.

At times, the Town Clerk race featured some personal attacks, which Silva briefly addressed following her victory.

“I’m pleasantly surprised by the win,” Silva said. “I wasn’t sure if a lot of what my opponent was saying would stick. I’m grateful for every single one of the 1,148 people who voted for me.”

Silva said this would be her last term.

“I’ll be 65 in three years and then I’ll be done,” she said. “Unless I win the lottery, then I’ll be relaxing before that.”

In the School Committee race, newcomer Mary Morgan (779 votes) ousted incumbent Rhonda Veugen (634 votes), earning her first term on any municipal board.

Morgan arrived at Town Hall elated Tuesday night to be sworn in before Wednesday’s School Committee meeting.

“I’m very pleased to have this opportunity to serve the people of Wareham,” Morgan said.

Previous Sewer Commission Chair Marilyn Jordan was unable to hold onto her seat. She lost to challenger Peter Dunlop, 725 to 666.

Election day was cold and sunny as voters took to the polls amid a blanket of snow left by Monday’s unusual spring storm.

David Belluche said he voted hoping Selectmen would push for road repairs.

“I want to see if anyone can talk to the state highway about the intersection at Depot Road,” he said, adding he voted for Scarsciotti and Tropeano. “Right now it’s a split intersection. There have been a lot of crashes there.”

According to the Town Clerk’s office, 1,531 of Wareham’s 14,147 registered voters (11 percent) cast ballots on election day.

In the days leading up to the election, two events offered candidates the opportunity to debate.

Silva and challenger Franklin got personal during one discussion, breaking a rule set by WCTV Executive Director Steve Ruiz at the beginning of the event.

“There will be no personality questions,” said Ruiz. “Try to stick to the job as much as possible.”

Discussion began within this boundary, but began heating up with a question about accountability. Silva spoke about the long hours she’s put into the job and claimed that she doesn't “take advantage of this position.” Franklin countered that “the town clerk can make their own rules because they are accountable to no one.”

The discussion reached its boiling point when the issue of Franklin’s previous employment by Silva was raised.

Franklin worked at the Town Clerk’s office at the end of last year, but was let go within three months. She has stated that the reason was because she took a sick leave due to a stomach virus. At the discussion, Silva claimed that there were many reasons for Franklin’s termination and that, “if Ms. Franklin would like her to, [she] could list the reasons.”

Selectmen Peter Teitelbaum and Alan Slavin took the opportunity to direct sharp questions toward Jordan.

Teitelbaum called the system of charging for sewer usage on the basis of Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDU) rather than water usage “foolish.”

This is not the first time tensions have risen between Jordan and the Board of Selectmen, whom she publicly criticized last October during a Sewer Commissioners meeting. Recently, Teitelbaum characterized Article 19 – a Jordan-led “citizens petition” asking Town Meeting to strengthen the authority of the Sewer Commission – as “wasteful” and the result of a “private vendetta.”
