To the editor,
Curt Peterson does an excellent job reporting on the killington select board.
In regard to the last meeting
on Oct. 6, I was astounded that the board felt ambushed when presented
with facts and the means to verify them. The town manager had been
informed of the issues and took no action. Hagenbarth, who is supposed
to perform the duties of road foreman, should have been aware of the
issues without anyone telling him. Therefore the select board needed to
be apprised that their “experts” (Bianchi’s term) were asleep at the
wheel in regard to issues of public safety.
I note that Chris Bianchi,
who was the selectman quoted in the article appearing in your Oct. 8
edition, is the only selectman presently on the board who was a
selectman when the present town manager was appointed. The appointment
was made without any due diligence review intended to ensure that the
appointee had the education, experience and training for the position as
required by statute. When due diligence is not done the results are
often disappointing and occasionally catastrophic.
Incidentally the remnant of
the old steel sign post left in the ground was removed within two days
of the select board meeting. Why did it take eight months and not done
until the select board was informed of it?
As I write this letter a “No Parking” sign has been laying on the east side of killington Road across from Miller Brook Road between the firehouse and the killington Market for over two weeks waiting for someone to trip or drive over it!
Am I the only one who sees the need for some changes?
