Mike,
I
usually do not respond to Articles written in the alternative press and
never reference or attack anyone by name. I will state my positions and let the

We should remember what was originally
planned for this Toxic Site. It was supposed to be over 250 Apartment Units.
What would the Infrastructure Cost to the Town have been? Consider
everything to Extra Police, Demands on the Sewer Plant, Traffic, Impact on School
Costs with Extra Students and the Extra costs incurred on overall all

Our Senior
Citizens deserve place to meet and recreate. We have a growing need

Opponents Fail to
mention (and They Know This) that The Community / Senior Center will be
the First Step in Developing the Town Hall Municipal Property. When we move the
Recreation Commission to Stanford Drive, the building that they now occupy can
be razed and a design to for a New Municipal Complex can be sought after. This
New Municipal complex should include a new and Modernized Police
Headquarters, New Town Library and New Town Hall. It should also include Retail
and Food Establishments considering its location to the Train
Station.
I ask the resident to remember
that this site was a Toxic Waste site full of Harmful Contaminants and Asbestos
and it was readily accessible to just about anyone. Now it is a clean site and
the $3.5 million to clean it was not borne by the taxpayers of
