Sanford Town Board meeting ( Eid & Pro-speakers ) May 14th 2013 ( 05/14/2013 )

So here is the public participation period of the May meeting, I'll post the rest under the additional heading "rest".  They officially rescinded the public gag order on Natural Gas development discussion.  They still made it as Draconian as they could, can't go over three minutes.   They are being fairly lenient right now personally, but the core issues remain.  EID was there and IMHO arranged that a couple "pros" were there to speak, and I feel it is important to listen to yourself with some thought.  Eid really did not want to talk about the issues ( IMHO ).  

Why they would tell us we can't have a hearing.... well .... it follows a patten I have noticed.

I think it is important to have this posted in HD, you can really pick up the details like the reactions of the people.  Only surprise in the "reminder"  is that Thomas Libous does talk to some people, I know hundreds upon hundreds who have tried to contact him, and none of them got through, evidently the School Principal (or head) was able to talk to him.

At the end of the meeting I asked an EID rep if 2.5 hours of discussion was enough before they placed the gag order, she basically said yes, stating there was additional discussion before, but in truth, it's all on film, after the "resolution" to defer to the DEC, it was only 2.5 hours.  

I heard, not sure if it is true, that the town decided to pay for some of the road repairs they felt were due to Bluestone, this might be to get it done now and seek legal recourse later.  On another thread, even to this day, the board will not tell the people of the town where the resolution for deferring  to the DEC came from.  Inquiring minds want to know.
