Springfield to consider engineering contract for dam

The ongoing saga of what to do with the town-owned Weathersfield Reservoir is about to take a step forward.

  1. Can anyone please explain to me the logic of this study? Springfield is a shrinking town, with an already ample, safe, modern, ground water source. A system with it's network of cisterns that has come at great cost with the promise of ample fire protection and a lifespan of generations to come. It's superior to the distant, open reservoir in every respect. Yet the idiots that run this town are prepared to squander funds to study it. WTF is it that we don't already know?!!!!!
    Please keep in mind, the vote to not sell the abandoned "reservoir" (now actually a mud hole) was spearheaded by one of the infamous, geriatric do-gooders in the community. Horrible thing when simple minds have too much free time and can leverage other fools with fear.

    Maybe Anonymous should at least be courageous enough to sign his Rants.

    I am with you Tony on this one!

    Anonymous, if you are so enlightened and committed to reform and improvement in Springfield and Vermont, why not run for public office? By all means replace the "idiots" presently in office and advocate and implement your policies. Let’s go, please!

  5. I disagree. Given the proclivity of Springfield residents who own guns to use them on other people remaining anonymous seems very prudent.

  6. I agree. The need for anyone to reveal who they are is unnecessary in this town.The only reason any individual would want to know that would be to harass, threaten or intimidate them or possibly refuse them service. I would caution Tony to refrain from making such comments. Lets remember you have made a living off the backs of the medicaid and welfare recipients. Let's not present a need to bring out skeleton's in anyones closet.

  7. I want to clarify my post above. I don't want it to sound as if I was saying Tony has skeleton's.That was not my intent at all and after reading the post I realized it sounded very bad. What I was trying to convey is that we don't need to throw stones at each other or give anyone the opportunity to make accusations otherwise. I have an opinion about the above but it in no way is to seem as though I am making accusations otherwise.I will note that the above is an active longstanding contributer to the community so please do not misread the meaning of that statement.

    We ALL need to channel our energies toward a solution to bring this town out of the mire it is in. Can we please channel our energy into attending town meetings and voicing our opinions, thoughts and desires rather than attacking each other online.

  9. Hey GreenMounainteer, or is it GreenMountaineer, since you cannot even spell your anonymous name correctly twice in a row, maybe you should clam up. Seems to me there have been at least three shootings in this wonderful town recently, and one person just convicted of second degree murder. But I guess you probably think he shot someone in the back for self defense too. Since you guys seem to have it all figured out, what's your grand solution??

  10. Oh Great, grand and wise Anonymous,

    Please do elaborate on the "three shootings" recently in town. Where, when, and who?
