These are ideas of many learned men such as Milton Freedman, Martin
Feldstein, or Paul Krugman and others. I also elaborated on the opinions
of the New York Times and The Economist. Perhaps in your
opinion I was wrong, but I am entitled to my viewpoints as are all the
others who write in our community paper.
But the select board meeting has nothing to do with the subject of my
letters. I must correct H. Motes that I wasn't leading anybody at the
meeting. I came to present two specific questions not related with the
subject meeting. Nobody knew what these questions were, thus nobody
could rally behind them. I showed my legitimate dissatisfaction after I
was told that I will not be permitted to ask my questions. My voice was
displeasing and I apologized for that. I continue to be extremely
concerned about the direction of this project. I guess H. Motes is
not.
In her letter Reality Check, Anne Vlahos asks, why were facts about the
water project not presented during the informational campaign? My four
letters during the campaign brought up facts about the project and at
the time one could also asked, "Why so much space?" But it is through
these types of letters that people can arrive at their own opinions. One
cannot doubt that the project and others like it were approved in a
democratic process thanks to the space in <MI>The Valley
Reporter<D> that H. Motes feels is too liberally given away.
