  2. I almost think this is unfair because -

    I'll bet a lot of the people don't even know Berg Norris, Bob Morse and maybe even some of the others.

    And we ALL remember the past few years and what each Selectman has (or has not) done, but do we remember what Joe or Barbara or Bob Morse accomplished during their terms? I'm not sure I do.

  7. ok obviously I didn't mae this clear enough for some. You cant rate more than one person as the BEST, or WORST for that matter. Rank them in order from who you think best to who you think the worst.
    Thank you

  8. I would pose the following to Publius's posting 2/16/07 12:18AM

    If in a resident's opinion there were 3 Selectmen listed who had accomplished things and in a sequence of best to worst it would then be subjective as to which Selectman the resident liked and thus not best to worst anymore. Who would receive #1, #2, or #3?

    Likewise if in a resident's opinion there were 3 Selectmen who had accomplished absolutely nothing in a sequence of best to worst which nothing is worse than the next. Who would receive #10? Again it would become subjective and based on personality and there go the ratings.

    Why can one's opinion not reflect that there are certainly several Selectmen that deserve recognition and likewise there are several that deserve none?

    Why can't it be possible to list Childs, Sapia and Consentino equally as 10's because they're all equally a disgrace to Atkinson?
    This survey isn't fair to Turell, Norris, Morse, etc. because most
    people don't know them or weren't
    living in Atkinson then.

  36. I have to wonder why Mr. George and Mr. Polito were left of the list. Since I don’t know any of the selectmen personally, my comments are based purely on the various TV broadcasts.

    Morse 1 Very professional and to the point
    Stewart 2 Tried very hard, could have stepped off more than she did
    Norris 3 Didn’t speak much, I liked that
    Childs 4 Seems honest and sincere
    Sapia 5 Still thinks he’s in the boardroom
    Turell 6 Nice guy but shot from the hip too much
    DeRosa 7 I’m speechless
    Sullivan 8 Hasn’t done anything yet
    Boyle 9 Thought too much of himself
    Consentino 10 Treated others very poorly

  37. Brian Boyle-1 did good job, though outspoken
    Paul Sullivan-2gets points for giving up town job
    Mike Turell-3wishy washy, but straight arrow
    Barbara Stewart-4good job but should've recused
    Joe DeRosa-5 amiable but did what exactly
    Bob Morse-6 middle of the road
    Berg Norris-7 useless
    Fred Childs-8 should not be running
    Phil Consentino-9 corrupt and a bully
    Jack Sapia-10 totally useless attached to phils butt

    Turell 6 did shoot from the hip
    DeRosa 7 used mind boggling too much
    Sullivan 8 the puppet on Brian’s knee

  42. Haven't lived in this town for long and don't feel that I know all these people well enough to give a fair vote.

    I do, however, like Paul Sullivan and think that he tries hard to look out for the people of Atkinson. It is difficult for him, in his position, because he often is up against Childs and Sapia. It is definitely time for a change in the Selectman's Office and I will be supporting Valerie Tobin.

    I admire Paul, also, for doing what is right and leaving a position that he enjoyed doing. He wanted to do what was right and as a Selectman, he stepped out of the Atkinson Fire Department Position.
