the MISS the entire point (not surprising) - the TB does not have the authority to decide the size of town government, the people do it. Because of a stupid oversight in state law, the public (despite wanting to) cannot place this issue via referendum.
As I have stated many times before, it is not whether the TB members agree or disagrees with the size of the board, it is who decides this issue. Adding or reducing the number of board members rests with the public, not the TB. That is why they are allowing this to go forward.
That is also why the PEOPLE, not 7 people, are charged with deciding this issue. That is leadership in deciding to GIVE up control over an issue and allowing the public to decide. You want 7 people to decide the issue - talk about destroying democracy. You preach about a "control grab" yet by allowing this issue to go to the people, it is the complete opposite.
As an aside, are you going to continue to add separate threads about this issue each day when someone destroys your arguments.
