No kidding!! I could swear he said something about it costing us a "few bucks" to get someone to help pick out a Cheif ! Now I could be wrong, but if I am right, now way, no how !! I my opinion, we do not have to spend a dime we still do not have !! No No !! My friend Paul Sarri a former Fire Fighter had a solution a few months a go. He said it was common th ask a number of local Fire Cheif's to do the job !

Was there a big meeting of all of the elected boards and Committees of these people in Town Hall, asking if their people could answer to one person ? In the intern Town Administrator's reorganization of Town Hall employees, did he ask permission for these changes to be made ? The big question in my mind is who is the boss ? Does the TA have the power to impact all of these other boards and committee's budgets ? I don't think so !

Amazing, simply ...What you do comes back to you !!! Amazing, simply amazing, that some of our Selectmen think they can just do what they want, without going to the people in our Town to ask their opinion ?! This is a Democracy, and this is what many people have shed blood and died for. So are we going to roll over and let someone who will not be here to reap the result of this mad plan, when it hits the fan, tear what works and what has been established for a good long time, to shreds ?? I say NO, and this is why. The biggest problem this Community has had is leadership that has not worked for the good of the people in this Town. There is not a problem with any of the departments within Town Hall, today or in the past 250 years. The Assessors do their jobs, very well I may add. They answer to their own Board. The Board of Health, does it's job with no problem. They answer to the elected members of the Board of Health. The Planning Board answers to their elected Board with no problem. The Town Clerk and Tax Collector have no problem they are appointed. There has been no problem with them. So where is the problem ? In my opinion, with the recent Intern Town Administrators, who are not working for the best interest in this Town.Bev.Bart.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04836117776019339626noreply@blogger.com
