Subject: Public Comment Item #1 for Special Meeting 12/9/25 [EXTERNAL SENDER]
To whom it may concern,
Given the geopolitical climate at this time, (civil War between the two parties) I urge for wisdom in choosing a Mayor and Vice Mayor.
I believe the majority of the town people support.. no large buildings .. safety for school children.. lowering costs (water bills) .. etc
… and I realize that it is common practice to put in the vice mayor, as this town policy is run by consensus of the five members, and a Mayor is just a chair job.. .. but strong leadership is needed at this time, and changes need to be made … with this said, and citing a recent article in the “WEEKLY TIMES” - Measure A funding rift could be on the Horizon, which I believe will be recalled, given a point I brought up concerning “95%” of people that need medical emergency go to County hospitals and not to the nearest hospital ..
For these reasons .. I can not endorse the 3 members who voted against the Towns wishes on 151 E.
Main .. that lead to protest after the fact..
… um .. and 2 members that are quoted in another article .. going door-to-door in support of Measure A .. using 95% .. um
Well .. that only leaves 1 choice for Mayor .. um not sure how to say goodbye to this “cat in a hat town” .. ������umm .. ���
