Tell It To George


Tell It To George is a collection of thoughts from here and away, from people who want to get their two cents worth in, without using their names.

Public comment - yes

Salesmen - no

The sales talk by the town's new website designer at last week's selectmen's meeting was way too long. Next week can we leave the salesman home? This has got to be more time consuming than public comment!

Bad idea by teacher

Our teachers should learn what is and isn't appropriate in the classroom. I was quite taken back last week when my fifth grader came home from school and told me that her substitute teacher told the class to go home and tell their parents to "Vote NO on coal."

Using our children to advocate a political position is unacceptable and should not be done in the classroom.

Speaking of feedback…

Mr. Houldin, I resent your implication that my vote and that of 865 others was "feedback!" Feedback? Feedback?

How DARE you! Do not diminish this vote. Do not try to spin it as "feedback." You insult us. Do what you said you were going to do, and build the maritime village, and get us a few businesses every year. Forget the coal plant.

So, Mr. Houldin, how do you like this FEEDBACK?

Misleading press release

The Connecticut developer's misleading press release during the Chewonki seminar 10-24 says it all. Scott Houldin can say he wants to study the coal plant more, but his findings cannot be trusted.  Congrats to Wiscasset voters for smelling a rat.
