<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Pardon me, Miss Melissa,<br>
Did you mean this note to me? Are you sure?<br>
If you did I believe you have me confused with someone else.<br>
I have never to my knowledge addressed a note directly to you. <br>
I do not know that I have ever said a nasty or condescending word
to you or any words about you.<br>
I will review all my email to the list and advise IF I find
something that I construe as nasty.<br>
<br>
If you are certain that you meant the words below for me, I must
ask if you are conducting research for<br>
some paper, are you?<br>
<br>
This is the town talk list, I have asked questions, I have made a
few comments, the one below<br>
was in response to a question from Jonathan to the town talk list
at large and as I said, the note represents only<br>
my opinion based on observation, interaction with members of the
council and reading notes.<br>

Sorry Jonathan, your questions hurt my head because of
tense. <br>
In my opinion, the questions and answers are:<br>
What should they have done in the past? what they did,
their job of representing all of the wards and town at
large by soliciting inputs on issues from townsfolk on
issues before the council and town. Wait, that is what
they did. My personal observations, discussions and
reading of the meeting minutes confirm this.<br>
<br>
Where has the elected gotten it right over the last 12
months? in doing the jobs they were elected to do,
working for the best for the town. Did they get it
right - working the issues the best they could with
neighboring towns, the county council, developers, and
so - you bet they did.<br>
<br>
Where has the elected gotten it wrong? Sorry, they
haven't gotten it wrong. Yes, they have not been able
to please all of the people all of the time, but I
feel my views and opinions have been heard, and the
town at large has been represented.<br>
Thanks<br>
