NPSW Meeting

Norway-Paris Solid Waste board meets Friday, 1-15-10, 6:00 p.m., Norway town office.

Paris (and Norway) voters should plan to attend to see just how the members of the NPSW board feel about the decision we made in June, 2009 when we passed the current interlocal agreement concerning NPSW.

In last June's municipal elections, following extensive work by an ad hoc committee on revising the interlocal agreement - the document which establishes the NPSW board and outlines its operation - both towns voted to implement that agreement.

Since June, 2009, the NPSW board has continued to chafe at the notion that it is only a creature of an interlocal agreement, and in recent letters from the NPSW board to the boards of selectmen in both towns, announced that it has redrafted its bylaws - in ways that appear contrary to that agreement.

Please plan on attending the meeting. One might ask the board members what they think it was that last June's voters from both towns directed them to do on behalf of the two towns....
