Ya know the four, five, and six story hotels along that Meredith waterfront that are targeted for emergency service by the new 100' tower truck probably all have sprinklers, central smoke alarms, 24-hr front desks and steel girder construction..
Instead of spending $750,000 for this new aerial tower, I respectively suggest the overall well being of the town's residents would be better served if the money was spent on tooth care.....ie dental care and oral hygene and teeth care education.
With three different dentists located right in Meredith, the children and adults would be better off with tooth care, preventive dental medicine, and oral hygene than a 100' tower truck. The fire dept already had about five different pumper and ladder trucks, and a 100' tower truck is more suited for an urban area.
What would you rather have....good teeth when you are 88.....or a 30-year old, bright red, tower truck?
Your hospital emergency room provides no service for dental care. They tell you that you need to see a dentist. The town has an ambulance service so why not a dental program?
Does the town employee, police, teacher and 5 selectmen's "Cadillac" health insurance plan contain dental insurance? What do you think? Yes, it does!
Do you have dental insurance?
How come the town can spend $750,000 for a big red truck and zero for an adult and child dental program?
