The Norway-Paris Solid Waste Board..."is," according to Paris and Norway town attorney Geoff Hole of Bernstein Shur, "wholly a creature of the towns of Norway and Paris." Proper trash disposal is not only mandated by state law, it is critical to the health and well being of a community; however, for the NPSW Board, trash disposal has become a means of exercising power, manipulation, and dominion. And hidden agendas.
As reported on this site, 9-07-09, the NPSW Board scheduled a special meeting for the morning of 9-10-09, the apparent agenda being to remove one of the directors. Atty. Hole's letter speaks to that issue, so that report must indeed have been true.
Red flag questions re. Thursday's "special" meeting have already been posted on this site, 9-07-09; as was the notice for the sudden, unexplained cancellation late 9-09-09 of that very same "special" meeting.
Now there are brand new questions:
*Why the sudden change of heart?
*How much of a part did Atty. Hole's legal opinion play in the decision for cancelling this meeting?
*Of the 10 selectmen in Norway and Paris, the hiring and firing bodies for this inter-local agreement, exactly how many actually knew anything about plans for a special meeting in the first place?
*Are there hidden agendas?
