Informer did we vote to elect the road agent? I don't remember which article it was. Thanks for your help.

without an absentee ballot, you will need to clarify this information!

This was a good start. But i'm very surprised Conant got their 50,000 This will open the door for Thayer to put in a large warrant next year to cover the "new Boards" big spending. Im also surprised the boat ramp didn't get its money The ramp is very useful for our citizens and I thank the sportsman's club for re opening it for us.

The village idiots have spoken at the polls. Why the voters voted against one thing and pass other warrants we will never know, except they being clueless.

How many knew when they voted $5,000.00 for the milfoil of a deal (A WINK AND A NOD) between Gus Ruth and the Forest Lake Assoc. to take over paying for the milfoil for millionaires on Forest Lake upon the backs of the tax payers, while at the same time turn down paying for the insurance on the boat ramp. Dah!

38 Warrant articles on the ballot, name another town with more than just a few? Same people voted in again no matter what, same stagnant town paying higher than reasonable taxes. You're right, the town is filled with village idiots including the ones elected to the office of selectman.

The problem is good people refuse to run for office because of the clique mentality in Town Hall. We have some very qualified citizens that can run for office, but just like Bob Davis, will be defeated by the vocal minority. Until we are ready to back new blood 150%, our current boards are the status quo.

Just wondering! said...

You know what yanks my crank about this town? It is the fact that there is not enough common sense to go around when they vote guys like Ken Cole for budget committee. I wonder if he will smell like Bourbon when he sits on the budget committee like he does on the ZBA and the planning board. A sip or two makes better judgments.

If voters think you are going to cut your tax bills by voting this town idiot in office you have a surprise coming.

I like the way the kids in school that were old enough to vote in let out of school early.
I wonder if the 21 year old sped child voted for Colleen?

No we will not be electing the road agent, that will be next year.

Just Asking said...

Speaking of the road agent-BOS meeting of Mar. 14th, they voted at the road agents request to sell the towns 1/3 ownership of the joint owned street sweeper to Hinsdale. I would imagine it is probably junk anyway and a bad idea from the start. The question is, WHAT NOW, do we hire an outside service for big money or use the whole hwy crew and three pieces of equipment, which doesn't make any sense ether. Kind of funny none of the selectmen asked the question, although I'm sure it has been discussed in there little daily non-meetings.

Just asking 2 said...

Speaking of the BOS, when the people in the town hall aren't running around shuttling there kids i guess, they are running a nursery when we are paying them to pay attention. Are all the selectmen blind to whats going on, like they were with Puffer not doing his job?

What do expect when you allow the inmates to run the asylum? The select board needs their votes to stay in power so they allow tardiness, long lunches, leaving early and a host of other misconduct.There is no sense of duty or leadership at town hall. They are all a disgrace to us and the town.

Back to the road agent, is it true that the red flatbed truck stopped at Kulicks yesterday,3/27, and dropped of a person that doesn't work for the town? If this is true than the driver should be suspended immediately.

Heck, if the past is any indication, the hwy people can do anything including theft, piney woods, and no one in power will do anything. So I guess if you want to shuttle a FRIEND around with a company vehicle its OK. I think if some one wants to compose a legal warrant article that would have the road agent run for his or her job every few years, it will easily pass.The town clerk has to do that and he may be in trouble next time. Lots of grumbling about the hours that they are open and the tax collector that doesn't seem to have enough to do.

Many of the voters of Winchester would like to see the NEW CHAIRMAN of the budget committee post an explanation of the take over of that committee. Use the Keene Sentinel or the Informer,a lot of people would like to know how this was justified.
