One Last Chance

In a moment of total incompetence, led by Kevein Hayes, the selectmen voted to approve the sale of the public's Potter Hill land without following the correct procedure. Apparently someone reminded them that the law requires the Conservation Commision and Planning Committees approve the sale of land prior to the vote. Ooops! Now they are quickly moving to do it right and tlhe people have one last chance to object to this move on June 25th at 7:00 PM.

Keep in mind that this will exempt a growing community from investing in our children's future. I'm also wondering how many of the residents of this future community were ever Gilford residents?

If the Selectmen do not hear any opposition, as is the case right now, then they will really have no choice but to approve this sale. This is the last chance to speak out. It is simple math; when your school costs rise and there are less people to help to pay the investment, your taxes will increase!!!!
