About Me
- the Winchester Informer
- I am part of a group of Winchester citizens completely opposed to dirty and hazardous businesses, like asphalt and wood burning plants wanting to come into town at the expense of our quality of life. I am concerned about preserving the rural character of Winchester. These types of development have no benefits for Winchester citizens and they create many health hazards and will cause the destruction of green space. Our Winchester is known for its precious natural resources; dramatic rocky slopes, unique wetlands and abundant wildlife. I feel there are many questions concerning these proposed projects that outweigh any benefits. The increase in traffic along existing streets and noise and air pollution would be very significant. I am also concerned that the town infrastructure cannot cope with the problems these types of businesses will demand. Furthermore, I am very discouraged with the Planning Board and Zoning Boards and feel they have been negligent in their duties to protect neighboring residents from health hazards and safety issues that will surely arise and affect the lives and livelihoods of many citizens.

Evidently the town's attorney doesn't feel the board acted in good faith in reaching their decisions on this application, otherwise why object to depositions if they have nothing to hide? Seems like everything the town does is based in secrecy. Why can't we have an open town government like every other town, why all the cloak and dagger theatrics?
Surely those records would be public records seeing as they are a public board?
Problem is all of those so-called records have been changed so many times after being accepted by the board that there are several different "official" versions floating around. Which one the town's attorney will submit to the court will be anyone's guess. A check of the Planning Board meeting minutes, on the town's on-line site, shows exactly when someone ( wanna guess who? ) "updated" those minutes again. I guess this same person feels with the tapes of those meetings destroyed, the court will have to accept the written records that will be provided. This is exactly why attorney Little wanted to depose the board, to see who's been changing the minutes after they have been voted on and accepted and to see just how accurate these "updated" versions are.
