What happened to the Gilford Energy Committee?

As we were getting ready to make our Energy Committee proposal to the Selectmen at this week's meeting, the Chairman, Alice Boucher decided to change the published agenda to accomodate the group scheduled up AFTER us. Since it was a non-public meeting, those waiting to hear the proposal were shuffled out to the hallway to cool their heels. After 45 minutes, many of those people, some elderly, couldn't stand up anymore-- there are no chairs in the hall-- and had to leave. After an hour, I left too.
.
At first I thought that perhaps the selectmen aren't very enthused about having an energy committee, which would be too bad because an overwhelming number of voters obviously wanted something when they said "yes" to the climate change warrant article on this year's town ballot. After all, they had already tabled the idea once prior to Wednesday. In a conversation with Selectman Grant, and during an apology call from the town administrator, I was assured that this was not the case-- they really do want to discuss the matter.
.
And discuss it we will-- now on July 25th at 3:00. Hopefully.

If I were AlGore, I might be warning the town that if we don't hurry up and move off the dime on this, it will be too late. Earth is toast. But I'm not AlGore...

Hey, that's not true at all!
And you're hurting my feelings!
