We received a comment that we only post negative articles on the blog. A review of the blog articles shows that is not true. There are many positive articles. There are articles that are critical, articles that pose questions, articles that present positions on issues, and articles that explain complex issues.
The following items appeared in Town Bulletin #30.
"The Selectmen are very much in favor of having the Board of Selectmen meetings taped
for airing on the public access channels and have asked the Town Administrator to
begin discussions to enter into a long term contract with the folks from the Pemi-BakerCommunity Access Media."
"The Selectmen are continuing to find ways to level fund the 2012 budget and taking
steps to reduce costs and become more efficient without giving up essential services.
This is evidenced by the fact the Selectmen have announced that the Parks & Recreation Director position will be full time in the summer and part time for the remaining months. This will not affect the Summer Camp or the After School programs."
Taping the Select Board meetings provides the public with access to the meetings and allows those who attend the meetings to review what was discussed.
The Coalition has supported making the Director of Parks and Recreation Position part-time during the winter for some time. As Paul Branscombe says, this will save some money without affecting the essential services provided by the Park & Recreation Department.
