We received the following letter of complaint sent to the Board of Selectmen this past week in regards to the conduct of the Planning Board Chairperson; Margaret Sharra and were asked to publish it on the blog. Mr. Keenan does not have a computer and does not blog; however he has in the past submitted materials to be posted.
The following is his letter to the board.
Date: 11 Sept. 2010
TO THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
RE: TOTALLY IMPROPER PURPOSEFUL CONDUCT OF PLANNING CHAIR SHARRA AT AUGUST PLANNING BD. MEETING. THE CONDUCT WAS IMPROPER, IS ACTIONABLE AND COULD MAKE THE MEETING ILLEGAL. IN NO WAY WAS IT AN ACCIDENT.
Under the penalties of perjury I affirm as follows:
1) I, John D. Keenan, came into the August Planning Board Meeting at about 8:20pm. They began discussing RVD (Robert Van Dyke's condominium complex of Route #10 ) at about 8:30pm. One Planning member brought up the eight (8) point plans ( conditions set by the board ) to deal with RVD of August 2009 which specifically included a requirement that RVD report to the PB every three months regarding his erosion controls on his site. He has never reported once.
2) In the slanted minutes put forth by Sharra, she then inserts a statement by a planning board member that never occurred --- NEVER HAPPENED.
The statement was " Kim Gordon made a motion to deny RVD"
3) On the agenda, totally controlled by Sharra, there is included PUBLIC COMMENT.
She refused to open the meeting for public comment which upon information I have received and do believe is illegal. - Therefore making the meeting illegal.
4) Also, she is being paid extra for taking the minutes although the board is a voluntary board and has an appointed secretary voted in by the majority of members. In additional CONFLICT OF INTEREST, she claims she is a quasi-official of the ZBA as it's secretary for which she is also paid extra. This I feel is not only not right; but illegal too.
Very truly yours,
John D. Keenan
Once again Sharra's conduct is a point of concern.

If Ms. Sharra is up to her old tricks perhaps we should petition for her resignation. According to the law this is a conflict of interest. She can have her choice work for the town or be on the boards. But remember if she doesn't get her own way she tries to bend the rules to her liking. The BOS should remind her that the judge told her "NO".
Thank you, Mr. Keenan. We'll take it under advisement.
Guarantee that's what he hears!
Do you people in Winchester care about anything? Do any of you have any common sense and know right from wrong? I could not stand to live around such people that won't lift a finger to stand up for themselves. Give up Informer, you're wasting your time on these fools, what great examples they are for their children.
