And ...May 30, 2009 10:17 PM, May 30, 2009 10:30 PM<br /><br />And the basis for all of your informed opinions are? You're sure any grant monies available were specifically for mobile repeaters, right? You've been to one of the dead spots with an officer and saw for yourself the hand held could not be heard by Plaistow, where the repeater Atkinson uses is located, right?<br /><br />Sounds like all that you have is just that, an opinion, with nothing but a jaded view of the PD providing justification.<br /><br />And you say repeaters are inexpensive (I'm going to take a leap here and assume you mean mobile repeaters). You've researched this also, right? You're sure that any repeater available is compatible with the mobiles in the cruisers, right? And, you are also aware of the problems associated with mobile repeaters, right? You're willing to bet an officers life that a mobile repeater will solve all his problems, right?<br /><br />The taxpayers spoke against two specific proposals. They did not vote against solving the problem. So, when you "Get Your Facts Straight" and provide some real information, and not just an opinion, that all your statements really are, opinions.<br /><br />Try this simple exercise. Buy yourself a topographical map of the area (there is a mountain hiking supply store in Andover that sells them), or pull up one on the net. Take an elevation reading of Plaistow at their PD. Then several along Rt. 121. Then, take several along the west end of town. You will find the ends have a sizable amount of granite in between. Then imagine a low power handheld trying to get through that. Now, you tell me. You still think there is no problem?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874347369787241443.post-84784481285540068852009-05-30T22:30:17.080-04:002009-05-30T22:30:17.080-04:00What communication problem?

Five taxpayers (not associated with town officials) should be shown all the "dead areas" and another ten should be at the police station to listen to the transmissions. There is no problem that inexpensive repeaters wouldn't solve.<br /><br />Get you "Facts Straight" Consentino, then everyone will see that this is another one of your scams.<br /><br />The taxpayers have spoken to this problem.

And, who knows, they may be resourceful enough to find other means of funding. I would hope they would come up with the most reliable, and cost efficient solution possible.<br /><br />And as far as political influence, I believe Mr. Bennett and the BOS have set up a committee that would probably take a considerable amount of influence to convince them not to do what is right. And who would this political influence come from? The PD. Seems to me they want a long standing problem solved and probably don't care how it gets solved, just as long as it gets solved. Previous committee members? What kind of influence could they hope to muster? I think this concern is not as much a concern you think it might be.<br /><br />Considering the taint of the previous efforts it is OK to have these concerns. But, you will have a new team in town.

The aspect of this law that most towns do not recognize or adhere to, is that FINAL DECISIONS must be made in PUBLIC.<br /><br />So, for example, if the selectmen were going to issue an employee a letter of reprimand for something, They should discuss it and arrive at their decision in non-public, but come into public session to vote on issuing the letter. Both meetings should have minutes describing decisions made.<br /><br />However, most towns, Atkinson included, do not do this, they simply refuse to divulge their action, claiming employee exemption from disclosure.<br /><br />This is wrong, but you would have to take it to Court to get this policy corrected, and is it worth $175.00 filing fee and a year or two out of your life to do that?LegalBeaglenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874347369787241443.post-76284795385069254232009-05-28T15:50:03.344-04:002009-05-28T15:50:03.344-04:00May 28, 2009 2:13 PM
