The Annual Town Meeting held in 2014, was the year that the light department began "paying for" light charges of town buildings and street lights. So, I do not find where Dave Smart's comment about no PILOT payment while I served on the select board from about May 19, 2011 until about March 17, 2014 has any truth to it. The information is on Town Meeting record and annual Town reports.
oops!

Nice Job JEFFY the point and one you have proven all by yourself is the reason and I Quote "We don't want to give a pilot because the Board of Selectman can't run the town." With the missing 500k on your watch and with the money we give them who can trust it will be put to good use. Why waste it like we have over the years.
ReplyDeleteWhere is the 500k people would ask.We will do a road project instead.
What we got was a light bill paid at their cost. That's it.
Your boss at the time KENNY R. told dana at town meeting we wouldn't pay the light bill because the town didn't have it to pay them. Most town employees were put on furlough and sent home for 7+ weeks. As a Team player i volunteered to work at town hall and did what i could for the town.
Many people asked me why go volunteer after they lay you off?
It's still my town weather i work for it or not.
I would have thought many more would step up to help but it seem the core of the people who care step up while others are content to watch.
I thank all who helped even you jeff when we took a tarp up to cover the bad roof with Wil and his friend to keep the building from the disaster it would have been.
Almost forgot where is the road project they paid for?

Whats the E+D balance looking like?
I would think the AC would have a handle on that and many other big money issues hitting us soon.
