Anyone wonder why you haven't heard about it? Selectman Sapia was sitting right there at the planning board meeting in Nov. when the letter from the state was read, he said nothing. All that is required is a public hearing, The selectmen have refused to schedule one. This was mentioned again at the planning board meeting two weeks ago, when chairwoman Killam mentioned the trouble she has had getting Russ to put her on the agenda, Sapia once again sat there and said nothing! Who is standing in the way of the town being bestowed this honor, Our FOUR MUSKETEERS!, Sapia, Childs, Consentino, and McAllister! Consentino has spoken out against it because Mrs. Grant headed the project, doesn't matter that it will be good for the town, she pissed him off, and if he doesn't get his way he will take his marbles and go home...... If we could be so lucky!
CHAIRMAN SAPIA, WHY HAVE YOU FAILED TO CALL A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS MATTER? Is this another tough one like the water issue? or did your puppetmaster tell you to leave it alone?
When will politics in Atkinson cease to revolve around who pissed the chief and Sapia off.
Jack, why won't you call a public hearing on this? How could this possibly be bad to the town?
ReplyDeleteChief says it will increase traffic on an already busy road, but I want to know why?
ReplyDeleteAre people going to come from far and wide just to see Atkinson's scenic byway?
This is just one more false justification for him to try to force the town to give him his way? It is sickening to watch him openly deceive the people of Atkinson just because He doesn't want it to happen.
Have you SEEN the traffic on Main Street? It's already horrendous. I live on Main Street. My kids used to ride their bikes on that road, but no shot now...too much traffic. But, you're right. I can't imagine people will go out of their way just to drive down Main Street. And it's a nice honor to Atkinson to have a road approved by the State as a scenic road.
ReplyDeleteBe that as it may, when the Public Hearing arrives (IF it arrives) Phil will call all his elderly to have them present to voice their disapproval. It'll give the Selectmen a reason to turn it down.
This is ridiculous, the state is willing to do it, and the only thing standing in the way is our board of selectmen and the town administrator?
ReplyDeleteGuys, just do your jobs and call the damn hearing!
Mrs. Killam was on the agenda for Monday's meeting. She discussed some flaws in the zoning ordinances, and then she left.
ReplyDeleteNO discussion on the Scenic Vista; no request for a Public Hearing.
What's going on?
