This BOS have made no secret of their intention to review, rewrite, and discard Town Meeting altogther, if we let them.

And screw all that "To know the Town's Mind" noise once and forever.

They need a vote to accomplish that.

What a charter review committee to say the least!  Most of them are the same yahoo's that are placed on every other committee by the board, is anyone surprised?
They select Lala, but yet Mel Lazarus, an amazing educator and extremely well respected teacher and deny him...go figure.

It is scary and  sad.  The Bos and the rag seem to want to control everything.  A well rounded committee would have had people with varing interests; but, nope, it's that private little club of the same angry people. And gdforbid, if anyone has an opposing view, they are just catagorized as a piece of scum in the rag.... and he has the nerve to criticize another paper and lecture them about lies.  Referring to another writer as a liar does not change the fact that every single publication of the rag is full of half truths and out right lies.

Any news on the lawsuit with the Chief?  We can only hope and perhaps go to church and light our own candles.  What's the point of lighting candles?  Any higher being knows the truth.  Oh, I get it, the candle will provide a smoke screen.
