The Town Council has been a reactive council for years, we hear of everything they want to do when running for election, but seldom see any results from Combes, Faber and Dunn. Newly elected Bouchard and Paul have moved item to the agenda, but seem to be stonewalled by the other three councilors. It&#8217;s great to see a new proactive Town Manager that is putting into place plans for the future. I&#8217;m not closing this site down, but will admit the lack of attendance at public meetings, considering the amount of &#8216;keyboard warriors&#8217; on social media is frustrating. \/Rant<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google AI&#8217;s interpretation:<br>The\u00a0YouTube video &#8220;I&#8217;m Done&#8221; from the &#8220;TownUnderground&#8221; channel\u00a0features a\u00a0long-time resident, Glenn Douglas, expressing his deep dissatisfaction with local town governance. Douglas, who has\u00a0attended numerous town and planning board meetings since 2006, critiques the\u00a0town council&#8217;s consistent dismissal of proposals that could benefit residents, such as impact fees. He highlights a\u00a0perceived favoritism towards businesses over community services, noting a\u00a0decline in the latter since he moved to the area in 1996. Douglas also criticizes the\u00a0Capital Improvement Program (CIP) committee for alleged charter violations and a focus on manipulating public voting rather than genuine long-term planning, ultimately concluding that he is &#8220;done&#8221; with the current political landscape due to the\u00a0town council&#8217;s disregard for citizen-initiated warrant articles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Im Done\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jQWRiPWwnr8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related Posts:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=4121\">Traffic Concerns Move to the Town Council after &#8216;Decades of Concern&#8217;<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=9745\">Citizens Petition Warrant Articles,\u00a0<mark>Kicking<\/mark>\u00a0the Can Down the Road?<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=10507\">Town Councilor Ted Combes Opposed to 2nd Public Comment.<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=9886\">Video: TownUndeground Questions Town Council on 2024 Citizen Petition Warrant Articles<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=9886\">Video: TownUndeground Questions Town Council on 2024 Citizen Petition Warrant Articles<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=10758\">460 Days and Nothing to Show for It!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spoke at public comment after the Town Council kicked impact fees down the road again.
