I am fully on the side of civility and transparency in government and if what I read is truly happening we have an enormous problem beyond the water department's fiscal state. I believe elected and appointed officials truly try to do what is best and that sometimes emotion can sway those intentions. Kevin's courage should remind us all that democracy is not a spectator sport. Thank you Kevin. <br />Lucinda Vermeulen Lucinda Fenn-Vermeulenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05822029079376109211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875585579505237851.post-64551454445701152712013-03-22T07:27:43.277-04:002013-03-22T07:27:43.277-04:00I Agree!

I also think it might be helpful to hear from other people especially ones who are customers of the water company. It might also be good if we had the courage to not reply anonymously, that way they take our comments more seriously.<br /><br />Nick FredsallAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875585579505237851.post-61592088547323917492013-03-21T22:48:46.733-04:002013-03-21T22:48:46.733-04:00Thank you one for the support two for the rules.

It states "In rare circumstances such as continued, unexplained absences or conflict of interest, the appointing authority may ask for a member's resignation or, if necessary, revoke the appointment. Also, the appointment of a committee member who fails to attend three consecutive meetings may be considered for termination. Prompt, written notification to the committee member will be given in the event of such action." I don't read anywhere that disagreeing with the Selectboard is a reason for termination.<br /> I would suggest a call to the Attorney General's office for direction, as well as the Ethics Commission regarding conflict of interest of the two Selectmen on the "judging" committee.<br /> Lastly, Section D of the Town's Personnel Policy covers Disciplinary Procedures. A case can be made for committee members being employees.<br /> Don't stop! Stand up and fight.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
