The issue of an injunction, to immediately overturn efforts of the boards of selectmen in the towns of Paris and Norway to deal with questionable management practices of the recently deposed board of Norway-Paris Solid Waste, will be addressed in Oxford Co. Superior Court on Thursday, April 1, at 12:00 noon.
All court proceedings are open to the public.
The request, filed by former NPSW lawyer Dana Hanley, is to immediately reinstate 5 of the deposed 7 NPSW board members, and to rescind all efforts to recognize the interlocal agreement passed by voters in both towns last June.
Once again voters, this time in Norway as well as Paris, are in danger of being sold short.
The wishes of the few, to control the choice of many. It depends, no doubt, on where one stands how the shape of that decision should play out..
Paris has become quite experienced in this kind of fight. It takes courage, backbone, and determination to follow through on clean up after being taken advantage of by the few.
It is a hard act, for the newly seated board of selectmen in Paris, to follow - betrayal by a previous board majority who tried to sell voters down the river.
It will take extra work on the part of this new board to garner the trust of citizens.
Not the few naysayers; but the majority, the citizens, the voters, the folks whose town Paris is.
