Maybe its time for us to change this format and open it up for more discussions and sharing of information.
Some ideas of Topics we would like to open up and get into:
First and foremost, we must urge everyone to understand what is going on in our town.
We understand that most people can not attend every board meeting but if you have a computer and Internet access there is no excuse for not knowing what is happening and what our board members are doing and planning for "US". All this information is posted on the town website and available to all. By spending just a few minutes each month reading these minutes you will have a entire new outlook on whats is happening in our town and who is working for us or against us.
The town website is

If you vote and you care about our town you have the responsibility to have the correct information when you vote or even discuss these issues with friends and neighbors.
Our current planning board and its members! Are you aware of whats been happening and what some of these elected officials are using their positions for? Do you understand the opportunities our town is missing out on because of biased members looking out for themselves and friends and not the town over all?
Do you know why the question about removing last years budget committee was on the ballot? We do. The town almost lost this committee and it is a very important one, Its the only thing that stands between the taxpayer and unlimited spending by our town's departments and government.
Can a town as poor as Winchester afford having a Historic District Commission and the 'historic' districts that cover entire neighborhoods? When this topic opens up you will understand the question.
Have you or your organization or board been attacked, slandered, lied about and you have not been allowed to reply or defend yourself, explain your side?. Do your comments or accurate information never get posted? Here is your chance to fight back and get your story out there.
Please send us a E-mail so that we have your E-mail address in our mailing list.

This whole planning board deal is upsetting, Who do these people answer to? Do the selectmen not have any power over this group? Do we really have to wait to vote members out to make changes? some of these members are not up for a few more years and our town cannot wait this long. What can townspeople do to stop these members? can the LGC become involved?
I hope some other people can post some answers or ideas this has to stop some of our board members seem to have forgotton they are there to serve us the entire town and not just a few of their friends.
I'm not sure what we can do, I bet getting more people to go to meetings and keeping these people under a watchful eye may hep.
We have received a few comments that had very valid points but we are unable to post these because of hostility, name calling etc. etc.
To the authors, please edit your comments so that we may post them and get your views and opinions out there.
Thank you
