Or maybe....

Gilford Steamer, 4/3/08,

Selectmen offer no response to Juris petition.

[snip]  

Boucher ended her presentation of the petition by asking anyone who wanted to speak about this issue during public input to be courteous and polite. There were no comments from any of the selectmen on the petition brought forth by Boucher. The Board of Selectmen continued with the meeting and then opened the meeting to public input.
Though the meeting room was crowded, no resident chose to speak to the petition. “Maybe they didn’t know what to say,” said Boucher.
“Or maybe they thought I had said all that needed to be said.”

Or they just disagreed with her? 

As I was not there, I can only surmise.  Yet, I think that in response to her presenation, the silence must have been deafening.
