I agree with Joel that an elected TM would only make matters worse at this
point. However, his point about having "a well educated, experienced
administrator, knowledgeable about public policy, in that position" strikes
me as ironic considering Paul's note concerning King and Conservation
Commission appointments. He quoted King in the newspaper:
> "It has to do with their operations," he said. "This is an important year
> for them, and we want to have people on the board who represent the entire
> town, not just one special interest."
Paul adds that the Conservation Commission is charged by law to do two
things: actively pursue the acquisition of open space and the protect the
natural resources of the Community; and protect the wetland resources of the
community. Paul writes, "it is a special interest called the environment."
If King does not understand the purpose of the ConCom, how can he be trusted
to appoint its members? Or, for that matter, handle any other town function?
Rob Haneisen of the MetroWest Daily News is the interviewer of King on his
new show "Framingham Today," and he urges everyone to contact him if they
have topic they want covered. This would be a great place to start! His
