And the knives are out
At last night’s Selectmen’s meeting Mr. Punturieri, whose name may be familiar to those of your who have seen his blog, initiated a discussion which resulted in Josh Bartlett not being re-appointed to the Moultonborough CIPC, the Town Capital Improvement Program Committee. This is the group which is charged with planning for the “orderly implementation and financing of a capital improvements program”. Mr. Punturieri stated as his reason for the opposition to Mr. Bartlett the statements that Mr. Bartlett made at Town Meeting on Article 2. The vote to not re-appoint him was 4-1, with Mr. Punturieri replacing him and with Mr. Wakefield being appointed as an alternate. The video of the meeting is on line at the Town Website and I recommend it for viewing. This decision is solely that of the Board of Selectmen, with no public input or say. Mr. Bartlett handled the situation well, while noting his objections to what was being done.
