I used to attend meetings more often under the old administration. I attended a few under the new and after the last Board meeting for the budget was going to write in. I feel that this new board has a lot of problems. Like Diane today I also felt like leaving because of all the bickering. At  the last meeting I heard upsetting comments from Karen Hallenback. I am a senior but respect seniors who are more senior then I am. They are the people who paved the way for how we live today. We deserve more respect then what she gave us. I just don’t believe in being rude.

  Also I vote for our town representatives for the good of our town. All I hear is  discension between the members. Don’t you get together before meetings to discuss what is on the agenda. It seems to me that one person doesn’t know the others persons views on the subjects to be discussed. This is like arguing in front of your kids. Argue in private and discuss the outcome in front of the residents. This is why we voted for you. Whether it’s Republicans or Democrats, we have to have unity. This is the problem with the world today, it’s a power play. We have to work together no matter what  party we belong to.
