Quote of the Day
|
|
"I would like to get back to the important work of assisting the Planning Board. I have outlined my serious concerns to upper management in hopes of finding answers and working out solutions, but given the current players on the field, I expect more of the same; obstructionism, obfuscation, and willful disregard for the checks and balances that keep town governments running smoothly."
—Tisbury planning board administrator Amy Upton is back from leave, but not in person |
