Yes to new buildings, but they're worried about $15,000?

To the editor,

I was amused by Selectman Bob Flanders response in Tuesday's article regarding Meredith's milfoil proble. $15,000 would be exhausted and he expected a "greater commitment from the people most affected". "They're not participating at a sufficient level," he said, adding that he anticipated the town and residents would share the costs evenly."

Just wondering what the difference is between the milfoil issue and Town of Meredith Water/Sewer? All residents are now paying for town water/sewer when only a small percentage of town residents use this service. $15,000 is a small amount considering what the town has paid for consultants to the water department. The fact is the head of the department should have that knowledge for the salary he is being paid.

I want my taxes lowered but let's use some common sense here. Nothing is thought of building new buildings, spending millions of dollars, and they're worried about $15,000?

Please get out and vote next week! Vote YES to SB-2! Let's give it a try.

Pam Bliss,
Meredith
