everyone talks about towns...
...as if they're sentient beings. "Moultonboro" and "Wolfboro" can't have beliefs attributed to them. In the case of M'boro (maybe W'boro, too) is governed by a board of selectmen elected by due process...
They are supposed to represent the beliefs of the constituency.. and these zoning changes, etc, are supposed to reflect the desires of the residents.
If the residents don't like the actions or proposals, kick out the BOS and/or vote down the measure. Now, if something passes because no-one takes a stand or because of complacency, well then the right to complain has to be waived, too... Or maybe these things pass because it is the will of the silent majority and we only hear from the vocal minority - i don't know.
I'd like to help out, but the town is just interested in my out-of-state tax dollars - not giving me (and others like me) a say, so the residents will have to take up the challenge.
