A promise made.....kept?
From the Gilford Steamer:
First-year committee member Dale Dormody said that he hoped the same level of decorum was maintained "outside the meeting room as well as inside."
Same as he's said before - all but a campaign promise...and the result is?
From the Citizen:
"The long and short is I am here to ask you for more time to allow for the staffing of the energy committee," said Dale Dormody.
"I think you have put the cart before the horse, when the selectmen have not adopted the committee," said Alice Boucher, chair of the Board of Selectmen, adding, "We are the three that will decide when and how the committee will be formed."
...but back to saying how he wishes to have things run...before he runs for it...
Requesting at least 30 more days for applications to be received, Dormody also raised some points about weaknesses he found with the board's attempt to solicit applicants.
...he found fault with the BudCom during the campaign...now finding fault with the Selectmen?
Naw, he must have been misquoted. Let's find out from his website:
The three Selectmen - Gus Benavides, Connie Grant, and Alice Boucher - apparently felt that the applications received to date met this standard, though it is unclear whether their decisions were based on any personal knowledge of the applicants and their qualifications.
Committee members, as chosen by the Board of Selectmen, are: Doug Lambert, Chan Eddy, Howard Epstein, Gino Crecco, Bill Knightly, and Patrick McKenna.
Guess not - another possible swipe at the Selectmen? Doesn't seem like he likes those appointed so far by the Board either...
Question - how does he know that the applicants DON'T meet the criteria? Has he asked? Psst...try putting in an application first.... might increase credibility.....
"There seems to be some hesitation for people to put their heads above the line because some boards out there, who shall remain nameless, have been somewhat contemptuous in the past," said Dormody, in a veiled reference to disputes among members of the budget committee.
...now casting aspersions towards his fellow BudComm members?
Kinda sounds divisive to me...
