  1. RE: "Gibson motioned that it might be best to follow the original plan (the engineering plan) for section one, since that is the worst, and then revisit the rest of the road later. Her motion was then seconded by McNaughton."

    Is Crazy Bond Thompson now using "Gibson" as an alias?

  2. i think any request for taking property off the tax list should be voted on by the taxpayers,instead of the select board approving it on their own,we the taxpayer's are gonna be the one's footing the bill for their decisions

    1. But that would prevent the politicians from taking care of each other, wouldn't it?

  3. Are you talking State taxpayers, as the local real estate revenues to Town and School would be compensated, so would you require a Statewide vote on every new State Park?

  4. For all the geniuses out there who continue to tout how revenue shortfalls at the local level will be "compensated" by state or federal funds, it's time you realize that those monies still come out of the taxpayers pockets - and in the case of deficit spending by the feds, the pockets of your children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, etc. - in the form of increases in income taxes, sales taxes, and a plethora of other hidden taxes (such as fees for all variety of actions forced upon us by the government). The naïve citizens of Springfield who advocate for nonsense like removing one property after another from the grand list or forcing taxpayers to subsidize one dubious "non-profit" organization after another are charting the course for the town's ultimate ruin.

    Take heed of the consequences as described from two of history's great leaders::

    "Socialism turned good citizens into bad ones; it turned strong nations into weak ones; it promoted vice and discouraged virtue; it transformed formerly hardworking and self-reliant men and women into whining,
    weak and flabby loafers." ~Margaret Thatcher

    “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”
    –Winston Churchill

  5. "great leaders"? How about a murdering witch (see Bobby Sands and the Prison Maze hunger strikers) and a self-serving booze hound. "great leaders", so laughable!
