Hello all -
Attached please find a letter from me to the Select Board. It's written in my individual capacity rather than as a member of the Williamstown Finance Committee. I wish you all the best.
sincerely,
dan
To follow up, I’ve been asked to clarify whether this letter was meant as a formal open meeting law complaint. It was not, and I personally doubt that the Attorney General would find a violation of the letter of the law in this instance. What’s important is that when the board chooses to address difficult issues, it should do so in a manner that most strongly encourages sharing of information and ideas from diverse viewpoints toward the common goal of best serving the people of our communities. I think it’s reasonable for me to ask you to hold yourselves to that higher standard.
best,
dan
