With just just under 3 weeks to the March 12th Election the Town Council, Town Manager, and other Town Staff members appear to be withholding information from residents.
Why are simple questions such as ‘how is the yearly compensation of the Town Clerk calculated’ so difficult to answer? Why is the town publicizing Articles 1 through 17, but making no mention of Article 17 through 22 in the Londonderry Lantern? Why can no one from the town articulate the possible implications of Article 21?
Why did Town Council Chairman John Farrell state that the Town only had 48 hours to review citizens petition prior to the Deliberative Session? The petitions were delivered to Town Hall on 1/9/2023 the Deliberative Session was held on 2/10/2024. Chairman Farrell had ‘multiple meetings’ with attorneys and the state to ‘understand’ these petitions. While the Chairman states he does not understand the intent of the articles, town legal staff should be able to understand what the ramifications of Article 17 through 22 are, intent is not required.
The Town Council Chairman continually states if you have questions come and ask, those words have proved meaningless.
