Richard, the Mayor kicked the CEO of the company that had the contract out of his office less than a…Read More month after he won the election. The contract was with the town not the BOE. And if you think the only thing to check is if the panels are dirty, then it isn't worth answering you. A large investment of tax dollars was made and it is paying off with lower electric bills. The systems delivering these savings need to be checked, that is why people who were smart enough to sign a maintenance agreement did just that. Ask the BOE how the chiller replacement is going at the High School; due to lack of maintenance they lost two chillers that should have lasted at least 10 to 15 more years. Penny wise and dollar foolish is what this is all about, not the election year, but what else could we expect from you Richard. You have become the cheer leader of the administration.

Anne, go to town clerks office and get a copy of Town Codes, Article ll, Section 12-16 and 12-17.…Read More Section 12-17 defines an abandoned M/V as any M/V which is "inoperatable", or unregistered and is left in one location for a continuous period of more than 24 hours. Then call the Chiefs office and hit him with that. If nothing happens go to next Town Council meeting and during general public comments ask WHY nothing is done when complaint is made. Good luck.
