NH Town Special Meetings

[longislander]

This is just one, of several times, on this thread that you have had a condescending attitude towards other posters that have an opposing view to yours.

Your agenda here is very clear. I hope when you go back to your seat on the board that you will be a little more respectful to pubic opinion.

Condescending? Factual, maybe. I thought some of the other posters, not all, were belligerent toward me, or my posts! Kind-a-like a know-it-all attitude not with facts ... only opinion. I never said ignorance!

If challenged I'll respond, as I'm doing now. I'm not going to apologize for misinformation , or opinion being presented as facts. Not agreeing with someone is proper discourse in format that invites information AND opinion. You are entitled to yours, as I.

On what Board? I attend the meetings and, those in the know, view me as, I've announced ... the town hemorrhoid! I've even passed out small tubes of preparation-H ... gratis!

Respect for truth, not erroneous dilutions of grandeur. How's that for being condescending.

My agenda is, hopefully, clear. It is getting a Special Town Meeting for votes on two articles presented.

I notice you don't have a "location".
What's your agenda?

I agree with Sue Doe Nym. The proposed petition is not a wise move. Beyond the fact that I do not believe anything should be done in terms of a recreation center, the petition is far too vague and has the potential to open the door to all manner of Trojan Horses and similar creatures. Monitor the goings on regarding the upcoming end of the term of the lease to the Lions Club. Unless I am missing something there are no extension or option terms in the Lease.

What is vague about a town meeting with two articles?

Results are not determined ... sure. Are you sure there won't be a 25 voter petition in March 2017, and have an hour or so to argue about another attempt at a Taj Majal. Which is the worst?

Unless I am missing something there are no extension or option terms in the Lease.

What you're missing is, it is already on the BoS agenda for work session. There won't be any more. You notice the present lease ends in June 2017. I presume the renewal, will need to go in front of the legislative body, the voters, in March 2017. The same meeting as being proposed for this petition.

Lease renewal was already on a BoS meeting agenda close to 3 years ago!

I am not going to engage you in a debate. I have stated my opinion. You disagree. That is the end. Any 50 voters can start the petition moving, but I think you will find that many of those who opposed, and continue to oppose, the Recreation Center concept presented at Town Meeting will not be in favor of such a petition..

Just so I am clear, you believe it is appropriate use of taxpayer dollars to perform renovations/maintenance on a building for which it receives no rent payments and for which the tenant is legally obligated to maintain is appropriate?

[longislander]

Just so I am clear, you ...

Hey folks, just got back from the BoBHouse for dinner. Great food and beverage. It's better than a distemper shot!
Who is you? Be clear!

If you're referring to me, and do I:

...you believe it is appropriate use of taxpayer dollars to perform renovations/maintenance on a building for which it receives no rent payments and for which the tenant is legally obligated to maintain is appropriate?

Of course, for this case, if you mean adhere to the contract! It is a legally binding document and has negative legal recourse. Don't you follow NH law?

If you're asking me if I think it was a good contract, go back and read my opening statement:

"... appears legally odd."

Another reason to have the summer meeting, before the BoS sign another incestuous contract. What would you suggest ... violate NH contract law?
Please ... think about what you're saying!

Regarding debate and ending. No problem, no contest!

Opinion means nothing, in the face of legitimate, democratic votes.

Luckily, there is a blog that is making sure the truth on these issues and comments and suggestions is being told, since the original poster has ceased commenting and quoting every rsa in the book on that site. 😉 Not sure if it's allowed to post the link here...

[longislander]

Many of us in MoBo would like to just "fly away". Instead, some are fed up with the stranglehold of 200 or so "townies" that have run the the town, while relying on the "cash cow" of non-residents, who cannot legally vote.

Yes, I was asked to stop posting to the blog, but not by the blogger. Many felt I was making it too interesting and informative. They believe let him talk to himself, and his lemmings. Many enjoy reading for themselves the NH Revised Statutes Annotated (NH laws). They just needed a little help on where to find them. They also relish articles from the New Hampshire Municipal Association. These folks are not as interested in hearsay opinion. The blogger, for the most part, provides some background data; even if he has to make it up. Other times, its good info.

I still read it now and then. The latest thread is about the Lion's Club. There's some good info from the Historical Society. Not from some pablum from the hysterical society (sic). Some of them reading this!

Those that frequent that blog should have noticed the top poster is now the blogger. Seems the posts declined quite a bit

I'm not a lemming. Those lemmings that want to accept all they are being fed, and jump off cliffs ...

BON APPETIT!

Have Something to Say

This is not a chat-room. Not all messages must be momentous but we prefer messages which actually contribute something. Try not to post one-liners or "chat-room" like replies.

They also state the above.

I started this thread inquiring if other towns or folks had experience with Special Town Meetings. Are folks even aware of Special Town Meetings?
Maybe some are "contributing something"!

My agenda was submitted to the MoBo Select Board as a courtesy copy, not this forum. I do relish the feedback and debate; as the rules state, something is being contributed.

Another contribution, is an observation of how people handle views, that don't concur with theirs. Yours truly included. That alone is worth viewing!
