Rules and laws are not followed by our selectmen they feel they do not have to. they are making their own rules
ReplyDeleteThis is so wrong !! I have talked with more people this weekend that are so upset by how things are done, they did not go to Town Meeting or vote. This is the worse thing anyone could do. The only way to change things for the better is to stand up for yourselves.
