As we have stated many times, provide facts to us first if you are going to blog in a manner that could be consider slander or libel. Secondly, John Keenan is NOT a town official or an appointed board or committee member, he has nothing to do with the town or subjects on this blog; therefore you and your friends should find someplace else to attack him personally if you feel you must. We don't know how much clearer we can make this to you. This blog is about the lack of accountability and the excessive spending of taxpayer dollars. It's not about airing your personal grievances about someone you and your friends don't like.<br /><br />I personally did not see any info about anyone's divorce posted on this site and as far as people posting off subject, that's expected on a blog even though we have asked everyone to stay on subject and submit a new topic for discussion if they have something else to say. Several of us have been ill these past few weeks and haven't been healthy enough to keep up with the main page or this blog; but rest assured blogs and topics will be straightened out soon.

Who continues to mentally abuse and manipulate her.<br /><br />An individual who takes pride in spouting off rumors without any FACTS about his estranged wife. He's a real pip he is, he stands in the Ashuelot Post Office and "informs" everyone slanderous statements about her and how she is ""ruining Christmas for the children".<br /><br />The past four months, he has NOT lived at the Thayer Library. He has had four months to come up with a different location for "his" Christmas celebration. Instead, he has had the town post his gathering on their website, the ELMCC website, set up a FACEBOOK website, sat with the radio station, held fundraisers - knowing all the while that he was NOT allowed within 100 YARDS of the building. He even elicited the police department to throw his estranged wife out for the day so that he could look like a wonderful human being to the community.<br /><br />FACT - he has a restraining order against him and four criminal charges pending. Yet he is allowed to spend his days hanging out at the ELMCC as a board member and "run" a town library, and mentor the Cub Scouts. Another example of our town's inability to see the true criminal.<br /><br />We are talking about a manic personality who is willing to terrorize the community in order to make himself look better. What's wrong with this picture? He has a real hatred for John Keenan and it wouldn't surprise me one bit that you'll find out that it has been him posting all this nonsense. He'll find out now that people in glass houses should not cast stones.<br /><br />He loves to talk - so ask him when was the last time he read a book. Pretty pathetic for a librarian. Ask him why he hasn't bothered to maintain the building he is living in for FREE (no taxes, rent and half of his utilities paid for).

They continue to give us the same old line of bull whenever you question their actions; trouble is, they tell everyone a different version of their truth and it is all so obvious that they are lieing to you in order to hide the real truth. How sad that we as a town are being subjected to this kind of conduct from elected officials, some we have known for years and trusted without question. Perhaps that has been our problem all along, to accept whatever we were told instead of questioning why. It is time to take control, elect good and fair and just people with a conscience who will work to better Winchester for all of us.<br />Thank you Informer for providing us a place to learn the truth and thanks to those who are helping to educate us all.seeing the light at the end of the tunnelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2054211382609443037.post-43333208885073523362009-12-19T08:13:04.505-05:002009-12-19T08:13:04.505-05:00Thnak you blog for exposing more of the corrupt th...Thnak you blog for exposing more of the corrupt thinking in this town. <br /><br />This is ridiculous of the selectmen to cut off the people from their government and again shows their arrogance.
