<DIV><SPAN class=140302421-10022008><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I've
been reading quite a bit recently about the opposition to this liquor
license. Many of us talk about business development, but we don't
do anything to encourage it. Working cooperatively with the
businesses in our Town to achieve common goals is what business development
is all about, not viceral opposition to something we find
unfavorable. This could be an opportunity to get something from the
business owner in exchange for the liquor license. Perhaps bearing the
financial burden of cleaning up the trash in the area or some
other activity which benefits the community. Another liquor license
is not going to have any negative effect given the numerous liquor stores
in the immediate area. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Rt 1 and a bad rap in the business community. If any of you haven't seen
Jeys Auto, I strongly encourage you to take 5 minutes of your time and check it
out before you oppose anything.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
