Quote of the Day
|
“I feel like the complaints here are that the board is run by Suellen, and it’s ‘The Suellen Show.’ I feel that we have made decisions, and some people haven’t agreed and it hasn’t always been unanimous. But we do vote, and we have made those decisions.”
—Miles Brucculeri on the dispute still simmering in Chilmark
