For those of you who did not attend the deliberative session last night
Tomorrow is the first session of our annual town meeting.
Some of us are skeptical about building construction projects that are proposed at town meeting. I didn’t become cynical overnight. It took a few years
I’m not sure why there is a huge increased interest in
One of the big issues with BMH seems to be mold. Well, not so much the mold as
Digging through my pile of old documents, I came upon the hazardous materials report
The welcome mat is extended to what I assume are
Last week, with the help of about 70 of you, I submitted a petition warrant article with 5 ballot referendum questions:
Not a commentary on anything in particular, it’s just that I have my annual post holiday cold and not really up to posting. I did however submit the petition referendum warrant today.
Four years ago, after we blew $500,000 on the failed article 9 restoration, some

You may have noticed the new header picture at the top of the blog. It shows before/after images of a potential new town office building a block away from BMH on our town property on Lehner St. The images of … Continue reading
So we all read the Grunter editorial responding to a concerned citizen
Here’s the original estimate (CCI Estimate) submitted for
Today I got copies of some of the documents that you saw the Selectmen using in deliberating their latest Brewster Hall warrant article.
I’ve been remiss at attending BOS meetings, but thanks to the
Someone has pointed out a new post on a local forum that piles onto my criticism of the tax rate issue by reinforcing the
Hit stats for today were nearly double the previous highs.
Last night I received an email from Mr. Bowers.
In predictable fashion, the editor of our local paper took up his pen to
Over the past year, it has been hard to figure exactly where Selectman Bowers is coming from.
Yesterday I attended an informational tour of the town’s RIB (Rapid Infiltration Bed).
At the last Selectmen’s meeting, the chairman spent a lot of time explaining to us how people actually go to the Town Offices to pay bills, as if
What the heck is that and why do we need one? It started as two separate ideas:
I wasn’t able to get to the Selectmen’s meeting, so my reaction to their discussion of a potential Brewster Hall warrant article was delayed until I could see the streaming video on the town website. The Town Manager
Yesterday I submitted a Right to Know request for all documents related to Brewster Hall since my last request on October 24.
That’s about what we’ve used so far this season. Six years ago we were burning over 1,000 gal/season.

Just to follow up on yesterday’s tax rate post, comparing the school rate to others in the GWSD.
The top story today is the 11.5% tax increase. It’s been pointed out that Wolfeboro’s tax rate is among the lowest, so I took a look
At the Selectmen’s working session, a citizen questioned whether the structural repairs to the roof were included in the estimate, and whether they were in the $4 million plan and the $6.8 million plans. The Town Manager said that they … Continue reading
That’s what he said. I asked him to check his numbers. Yes, that’s the estimate – 8,000 gallons of oil per year. It will require a two thousand gallon tank.
At last Thursday’s Selectmen’s meeting, some numbers were thrown out to try to discredit my belief in the results of the Tocag survey. That day in a letter to the paper I had made the point that an election and … Continue reading
Since the newspaper published the essential idea, I did some research and developed some details after consulting with an attorney. If I got the details straight, many of the provisions are specified by the “grantor” (you the voter), and are … Continue reading
You may recall that awhile back I proposed that the town establish a trust to oversee the preservation of Brewster Hall. At the core of that idea was the notion that it would be a way that dedicated supporters could … Continue reading
The town hall discussion tonight went pretty much as anticipated. The Town Manager backed away from the PFIC idea, and the Selectmen focused on the $2.7 million modified “First Floor with Exterior”.
Well, this week we are hearing from some old “Friends” who are getting around to responding to the spate of opposition in recent editions.
Latest documents obtained under NH Right to Know statute (RTK) indicate that the town manager has received a new estimate from NCA architects for first floor with exterior that excludes finishing the interior of the annex. That reduces the cost … Continue reading
The newspaper will come out tomorrow with details about a revised proposal from PFIC.
