We are trying to make a difference without being unnecessarily adversarial with the Selectmen, but we are concerned with the overall lack of attention to detail, responsiveness to the general public and lack of transparency.  We do pour over the numbers and again are very sensitive to the interests of the taxpayers many of whom are on fixed incomes...

The public deserves clarification of the facts, the impact and an explanation of the rational for the settlement from the Selectmen that goes beyond “it could have been worse.” This appears to be a very unfavorable negotiated settlement.

Mr. Muns supported the breaking of negotiated and approved contract language ..., such actions cost taxpayers $131,286 ...

Mr. Muns failed to represent voters and taxpayers when he and other elected officials disregarded citizen petition warrant articles....

Last year the voters overwhelmingly approved the decommissioning of the Grist Mill Dam, 2128 votes in favor to 808 opposed.

The vote wasn't even close nor was there any misunderstanding by the voters. We think there is a moral and fiscal obligation to carry out the will of the electorate and not change plans because a vocal minority wishes to play on the sympathies of the selectmen.
