moultonboro town meeting

More significantly, prior to the vote on the amended article, Town Counsel confirmed that while the article, if passed, would appropriate the sum of $75,000, the remainder of the article, which purported to direct the Selectmen to perform certain acts by certain dates, was not binding on the Selectmen. In order words, illegal. Town Counsel further confirmed that the Selectmen could in their discretion, choose to spend or not to spend the appropriated $75,000. The article was another misguided, poorly conceived and drafted attempt to box the Selectmen in. It failed spectacularly to achieve its intended purpose and is just the latest example of the lengths to which those so enamored of the Taj Mahal recreation/community center will go, despite numerous failed attempts to achieve the necessary votes to pass a bond article.
