Seekonk Human Services/Community Center Building Project

The Seekonk Human Services/Community Center Building Project Building Committee seeks to be on the BOS agenda for their earliest possible meeting. The Building Committee asks that the Board of Selectmen include the ballot question on the 2009 Seekonk Spring Election voted at the Annual Town Meeting held on November 3, 2008. Warrant Article 14 was passed overwhelmingly in excess of the 2/3 votes necessary by the voters in attendance.
The Building Committee fears some members of the BOS are trying to block the Community Ctr. question from getting on the ballot.
The Committee contends that a public presentation to the voters needs to be scheduled prior to this election so that they may address the concerns of the voters.

I don't see how the BOS can block it. The would have been certified yesterday.

I also though the BOS supported it?

Please come to the BOS meeting, Monday, Dec.15 at 7:00 p.m.
Mr. Richardson told the Sun reporter today that it would be on that agenda.

The building committee needs the support of the town on that night. The heavy handiness of the chairman has been stalling this vote. His plan is to kill the project.

We need 4 selectmen to move to the next step, the ballot box prior to Feb 3, 2009.

If this does not happen the Human Services/Community Center Bldg.is dead.
