Today's Meredith News:

"At the beginning of the meeting, the selectmen discussed committee assignments. Selectman Paul Punturieri requested that Bartlett not serve as selectmen's representative to the Capital Improvements Planning Committee(CIPC), saying his opinions at town meeting against taxpayer money being spent for recreation did not reflect the philosophy of the selectmen."

"I think one of the jobs of the CIPC is to look at wants versus needs," Bartlett said. "If you disagree with me, if they think the board of selectmen is an ATM machine or Santa Claus, fine; I probably disagree."

Bartlett said he did not oppose recreation services, but he was philosophically against using taxpayer dollars for it.
