8/18/2026 after a 5 hour Town Council Meeting, resident and School Board Chairman Bob Slater had this to say during public comment.
Bob Slater urges the Londonderry Town Council to adopt more transparent and collaborative practices. Slater emphasizes that information must be shared equally among all five elected members to prevent any individual’s voice from being suppressed. By drawing on personal experiences from the school board, Slater argues that centralizing power or withholding legal advice undermines the democratic process and the oaths taken by the councilors. The narrative highlights that effective governance requires civility and preparedness, which would result in more efficient meetings and better outcomes for the community. Ultimately, Slater appeals for mutual respect and unity, suggesting that the council can only serve the public interest when they act as a cohesive body rather than a fractured group.
