Got to be some perks that I don't know about, or the a-- kissers are just that good. We will be watching the possibility of a Police Chief change, should be interesting to see how they pull this off.Fast friendsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2054211382609443037.post-37189743563869918132012-04-18T00:25:01.841-04:002012-04-18T00:25:01.841-04:00PlainPlainAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2054211382609443037.post-60579108213085298362012-04-17T23:06:49.657-04:002012-04-17T23:06:49.657-04:00Checking with the Superior Court, the Town of Winc...Checking with the Superior Court, the Town of Winchester, PB,ZBA and BOS has been sued 39 times in the past 10 years with the PB under the direction of Margaret Sharra leading the way. This is truly unacceptable and has cost this town way too much money defending the actions of a few bad eggs on these boards. Think of what we could have done with all of that money wasted on legal fees and court costs instead of putting it to good use to benefit us all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2054211382609443037.post-89997383676313053672012-04-17T21:18:24.610-04:002012-04-17T21:18:24.610-04:00Sharra should be fired, plan and simple.Sharra should be fired, plan and simple.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2054211382609443037.post-78542444553096956542012-04-17T19:14:15.659-04:002012-04-17T19:14:15.659-04:00I too have sued the Planning Board on more than on...I too have sued the Planning Board on more than one occasion because of Margaret's twisted ways of applying her "opinion" of regulations when she wants to stick it to you.

Nearly $24,000 in expenses defending her actions and that of the her cohorts, Ruth, Hill, Beaman and Blodgett on the Planning Board, that over turned Jack Marshes denial of Van Dyke's application due to numerous violations of town regulations. Sound familiar?<br />Sharra's meddling was so apparent, that Superior Court judge Tucker, threw out their approval and ordered a re-hearing. But Sharra once again meddled and a lawsuit was eventually filed by abutters and a cease and desist order was ordered by the DES and fines because of numerous wetlands violations. Violations that Sharra, the PB and our Code Enforcement Officer, Leroy Austin constantly turned their heads on and allowed.<br />I filled out the proper paperwork to volunteer my services to the town and serve on the PB or ZBA and it was Sharra who called me out at the appointment meeting claiming it was I responsible for all of the legal fees in the Van Dyke hearings using her influence to get those same four to vote against appointing me, claiming it was a BOS decision. What a crock.<br /><br />There is a pattern here going back many years. Why is the BOS allowing it to continue and why do they constantly back the actions of someone so irresponsible with our tax dollars attempting to get whatever she wants, that she costs this town thousands annually. What is really going on with these elected officials and their actions to crucify anyone they don't like personally? Are they really acting in the town's best interest or is something else going on here?Mike Townenoreply@blogger.com
