Here we go again, creating controversy and conspiracy where neither exists.
The fine folks of Moultonborough that chose to show up at the March 2006 town meeting authorized warrant article 25 that allowed a committee of fellow citizens to expend up to $50,000 examining the entire recreational structure of the community, and make a series of recommendations to the community at a later date.
If you take but a few moments to explore the Town of Moultonborough website you will find that the committee met numerous times over the last two years publicly, and allowed and considered ample public input during their research process. The recreational facility discussed here was but one of a number of recommendations, a recommendation that has met considerable public opposition, enough opposition that the chairman of the committee making the recommendation forfeited his chairmanship.
There is no proposal for construction before the community. There is no warrant article authorizing the facility's construction on the agenda. There is simply a number of involved and concerned citizens in the community of Moultonborough having a lively and spirited public debate over an issue that apparently is of some importance to a number of residents.
And how do we know this? Because the debate and discussions are taking place in a public forum, appropriately covered by the local news media, that allows Moultonborough residents the ability to directly participate in the debate while allowing non-residents like us to speculate about the activity.
Sounds to me like an appropriate way for the government and the community to interact!
