I think the BOS recently did the correct thing concerning the Lion's Club property by stopping expenditures until some future committee does its work. We could be looking at all replacement positions and seeing if there is some way to absolutely get away with not replacing the person. It is an attrition game vs. a layoff game. Could the schools have done more by not replacing I believe the Asst. Principal position, probably. And this whole donor town thing is a real sham...and Betsy should be pounding the tables in Concord. On the grand scheme however, I'm relatively OK with how voters have managed the budgets. That said, the current assessments are where I am extremely upset. I am looking at the BOS to step up and make some changes in the assessment process rather than bringing out the rubber stamp. While I cannot vote for them, they are MY representative as well at the table. But I bet the whole team is dressed in their best defensive clothes.........

I don't disagree with you or your original post. If the company that Moultonboro used is that bad and the values that far off for a lot of people then everyone should be upset. The whole donor town subject is another topic that is a hot button for me.

I actually applaud you that you are making people aware of the situation and giving accurate information and trying to make the situation right.

I just saw a couple of posts in here about Moultonboro spending too much and did not agree with those statements.

On the positive side this whole debate made the front page of the Meredith newspaper so I don't think it is going away without a fight.
