The problem is there's a handful of retired, maudlin zealots with way too much time on their hands leading the charge while the responsible people -- who have to go to work each day -- say nothing. The Gores will happily sell land at twice what it's worth. Who wouldn't?

The big question is why 3 Councilmembers and the Town Administrator, year after year, shamelessly continue to try to buy this parcel at a wildly inflated price -- grants, appraisals, and need notwithstanding.

I think it's time to follow the money.
