Ah yes, the sound of endless noise each weekend, of more traffic and trash thrown along our streets and highways, of not being able to fully enjoy your own property on a Saturday night or Sunday afternoon, of having to pack up and go in search of someplace else to enjoy the peace and tranquility of a hot summers night, all in the name of fun. Who could ask for anything more? Maybe another track or two and racing seven days a week? Wonder why Troy, Swanzey, Fitzwilliam and Keene haven't picked up on this grand idea to offset property taxes. It's probably because their elected official hold true to their oaths and actually listen to voices of the people when they say no.
I think if enough people complained to the selectmen Gus Ruth and Roberta Fraser they would lessen to the people. Chairman Gus Ruth was actually really good about letting me talk at Wednesday's selectmen meeting over the objections of Sherman Tedford. Let see what happens next.

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.
