Interim Mgr. Mike Thorne, in Advertiser Democrat, 8-27-09, p.3A: "expects the [9-14-09] meeting will return to the town office after two sessions at the larger meeting hall in the fire station."
And this would be because...
... citizens are losing interest in trying to discover who's running the town?
.... the number of citizens turning out for selectmen meetings is dwindling?
....no Paris voter has any interest in hearing what Town Attorney Geoff Hole will have to say - in executive session or otherwise - when he's brought up from Portland, again, and paid by the hour with town money?
....no Paris voter is interested, one bit, in hearing what the town's tax assessor John Brushwein has to say on issues that effect the town of Paris?
A citizen approached Mgr. Thorne Monday 8-31-09 around 12:30 pm, and mentioned the concern that the town office was too small to contain the predicted numbers of citizens interested in the 9-14-09 meeting. The citizen mentioned that it was known that the fire station was already booked, so the suggestion was made to check possible meeting space at the high school .
"Yes. I will be talking with the selectmen," said Thorne. "I will be meeting with them this afternoon." Funny - one selectman the citizen spoke with about 5 minutes later had not heard of the meeting. Wonder who Thorne will be meeting with....
Who's running this town?
CALL PARIS TOWN OFFICE 743-2501;
REQUEST A BIGGER SPACE BE FOUND TO HOUSE THE 9-14-09 SELECTMEN'S MEETING;
SUGGEST THE HIGH SCHOOL, FOR STARTERS;
URGE THEM TO CALL ABOUT SPACE NOW.
