Chief says every withdrawal requested in public, but is that true?

The short answer is no. That, like many other statements is patently false.

But what is the truth?

Now thanks to this blog, and the Atkinson Taxpayers Website, that question is easily answered.

If you go to the Atkinson Taxpayers website, and look at the donation acct. ledgers, you will see many expenditures over the last three years, coincidently the years the board of selectmen was controlled by the chief and his puppet, Sapia, were made with no public disclosure.

This is bad enough, but there were alot of problems with that account, The board was supposed to post notice of the public hearing 7 days in advance, and never did. They were supposed to VOTE to spend any money, and rarely did that!

No, even though most requests were made in public, the public usually had little idea of how that money was being spent.

Sorry chief, we know how you hate people to use the word LIE in describing your tales, so can we say untruthful?

We will just let the people decide for themselves. The facts are presented.
