Shawn,
My take on Town Meeting was a little different than yours.
I agree Jimmy O’Loughlin came forward speaking to the need, but it was his need to bloviate. In the past the man could sell a rib eye steak to a vegetarian. Today I believe the general populace has had enough of his disrespect, bad behavior and propaganda.
I see last night’s vote as a sign of things to come and other members of the board need to distance themselves from him.

Such as when the voters distanced themselves from you?
Brian what you don’t seem to understand is that there are times that you must say what you feel is in the best interest of the community that elected you, even if it may not be the most popular thing to say to a particular group at a particular time. I am afraid that you spend so much time following others that your ability to lead is diminished.
A $2,500 increase in sewer connection fees to new business’ and home owners at a time like this is not a way to attract business, nor does it help to jump-start the building industry, putting to work carpenters, electricians, roofers, etc. Just because your friends supported the article should not make you support it Brian. You should think for yourself. How many trades people are not working? We should be doing all that we can to help to stimulate the economy and that is not done by raising fees and stagnating growth by adding costs.
When are you announcing that you are a candidate for selectman?

Sorry for not responding sooner. As a former business owner I’m sure you understand. I spent last night paying bills and had oodles of paperwork. It never ends.
As I’ve stated in the past. In life you win some and you lose some. My placing 2nd in the past election does not bother me at all. I’ve learned a lot and it will only make me stronger. Those who know me will tell you I am very hard working and relentless in my business ventures and my public service. Right now I’m continuing my efforts on the Planning Board, Community Preservation Committee, seeing the Canney Farm Recreational Project completed and looking to the future projects as a team player for the needs of the community. More on that subject later.
As for your thought process that a $2500 increase in sewer fee will hinder future development I disagree. At the new fee of $7500 to tie in it’s still a great deal compared to the cost to install a septic system. Your basic septic system can cost between $10,000 and $15,000 and depending on soil conditions could cost upwards of $40,000 and $50,000. Your disregard to address and gain an understanding of this article in the weeks before Town Meeting is the starting place of your defeat.
Your last statement you ask when I’m going to announce that I’m a candidate for selectman? Well Jim I’ll let you know right after you announce that you’re a candidate for STATE REPRESENTATIVE.
