Breaking News! The "usual suspects" want to eliminate the budget committee.
It is being reported that a petitioned warrant article has been submitted (today is the deadline) to see if the voters of Gilford will eliminate the Budget Committee! That's right- the group of petitioners-- those who I would call "the usual suspects", made up mostly of school district employees and their spouses/ partners, seeing that the days of a "rubber stamp" budget committee are over, would just as soon eliminate the entire body.
.
Now really, who isn't going to grasp the fact that the group of petition-signers are comprised of those who directly or indirectly benefit from unchecked spending? Imagine that. A little extra sunshine and scrutiny of the budget by people who were elected or appointed to do so, and the group that ALWAYS advocates big spending wants to pull the plug on the whole enterprise. Obviously, they can't stand the heat. What's the matter-- can't they defend themselves and their spending in an honest and open way? Oh, that's right-- "honesty" is a value in short supply in these parts lately... (refer to the postings below)
