I spent twelve years on the Council. How did my service start? There was an opening advertised and I applied for it, along with other folks. I was interviewed publicly so that everyone knew my views and character. That process was followed the next twelve years. The residents were kept informed and given the opportunity to apply. We had a diversity of thought and opinion that was of benefit to the town.
While I understand the rationale in letting the newly elected Councilmembers start their term a month early, even if I don’t agree with it; I cannot stomach the trickery and scheming exhibited by the Councilmembers in the appointment for the vacancy of Councilmember Pudlo's position. Words cannot convey how disappointed I am. Is this a democracy or is it a government run on the views of one small but vocal group? If I were a Councilmember today, I can assure you I wouldn't have played a part in their shameful actions.
Remember your actions, Councilmembers, the next time you reprimand the Mayor for making a decision without input.
Oh for the good old times, the first one hundred years. James Wingard
