 Just in case you missed it, board of selectmen supported and voted to allow the town administrator to expend some funds that have been sitting on the books since 2019 to begin a plan to complete a town building project that began in the fall of 2009. This involves a few things, first, taking a look at a project that began but never finished, finally expending funds intended to be used to improve the place where the building sits, Gilman Waite field. For about a year, this process of finally getting to the business of completing things that have been started but never finished or things that were being done incorrectly (some instances violation of state law) and being one whom lacks patience, it is sometimes a little frustrating for it to take what seems such a long time to get things done, then I think government, then reality sinks in. Town Administrator in his first time at the helm dealing with past events that have effect on present while seeing things down the road that need to get done too. In order to get 'er done, we need a pretty large dustpan and broom. If you look at article one of the upcoming special town meeting warrant, you will see some funds that are meant to deal with one thing from the past and another to deal with the present and they both have an effect on residents, passage on town roads.
