I can see the day when the selectman start taking over desirable property so they can end up with it dirt cheep<br />We as a town and voters need to demand a better policy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2054211382609443037.post-83566571845408819802012-06-12T13:32:14.907-04:002012-06-12T13:32:14.907-04:00Understand Stetsor has big problems in Hillsboroug...Understand Stetsor has big problems in Hillsborough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2054211382609443037.post-66544679232512447022012-06-12T10:48:40.589-04:002012-06-12T10:48:40.589-04:00Interesting.

Doubt if a judge can overrule a legal election.<br /><br />BTW - Stetser was no fall guy. He was in the thick of the shenanigans. I don't think anyone could come up with one competent, positive thing he did for the town. Also, they can't make anyone a TM. The people have to vote for that. Why not educate yourself to the laws?<br /><br />Selectmen can never be trapped for being unethical. They have to actually violate very few, very specific laws. For instance, misappropriation of funds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2054211382609443037.post-71762973770043677122012-06-12T07:33:01.822-04:002012-06-12T07:33:01.822-04:00Speaking of the town losing, word is Margaret star...Speaking of the town losing, word is Margaret starts full time in July and Leroy is done in December. Some people think she may hire her husband as her assistant, that crew is just arrogant enough to do that. Once again the insiders put themselves first over the people of Winchester.

There's no such thing as fairness when it comes to insiders and the rest of the town's people. And Gus too, isn't that right Gus?

Some are for legitimate town purposes. Some are "conservation" properties and parks no one uses. (Like the canoe removal area and pavilion.) How many others should be sold to generate revenues and restore them to the tax rolls? How many will be quietly auctioned and snapped up by insiders? We should get up a petition for a warrant article to rename the town "Crookedville." Ah, I can see the welcome sign in my mind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2054211382609443037.post-70397816122978835412012-06-09T09:15:40.331-04:002012-06-09T09:15:40.331-04:00This is definately a case of CONFLICT OF INTEREST ...This is definately a case of CONFLICT OF INTEREST and selectman Ruth should be recalled and removed from office. There is a protocal to auctioning properties owned by the Town (which means we all own it and deserve the best price available for we the taxpayers.) Ruth is a theif plain and simple. He probably met the minimum standard, by advertising in any paper....but since when does the Town of Winchester advertise property auctions only in a paper out of the area?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2054211382609443037.post-18979079230705763762012-06-09T07:24:07.507-04:002012-06-09T07:24:07.507-04:00You can only push people so far, things like this,...You can only push people so far, things like this, the unethical takeover of the budget committee, or lying about the intent of your investment on main street, will backfire sooner or later.

Where were the signs that have cover the town every time a home goes up for auction. The sign are there for weeks<br /><br />If you read the Manchester Union Leader on Thursday you would have seen the auction posted under auctioneer James R. St Jean. Other wise there was nothing. <br /><br />It looks like the team at the town hall prevail for now. I would hate to be in these scoundrels shoes. Terry Qualters is no one I would cross.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
