How nice the town can close offices during Town Meeting

To the editor,

I find it very ironic that at the same Moultonborough selectmen's meeting where the selectmen were stating the reasons why the town should NOT Vote for SB-2, they were planning to close the town dump and library so that the employees could attend the Town Meeting. If Moultonborough were an SB-2 town this would not be necessary. They could vote at any time from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m.

How convenient that the town can close facilities for Town Meeting. What other businesses can afford to close so that their employees can attend the meeting?

The non-resident taxpayer may want to use these facilities on the morning of March 15. What service does his tax dollar get him?

In closing let me mention that I am a year round resident of Moultonborough. Otherwise, according to the town officials, my opinion wouldn't matter.

Makes me wonder if the town employees are against SB-2, otherwise the town officials would not want their votes.
