I don't think the town should be paying this. But even if you thought they should, how could you possibly justify such an amount when the Town itself paid ~$16k in legal bills according to the Select Board?

The Landtrust complained about how much the Town spent on the legal costs and never brought up the cost of a special Town Meeting and yet they spent $175K on legal fees to fight the Town. Very disappointing!

Sooner or later, Westwood residents will recognize that the WLT is an elitist organization who do not act in the best interest of the Town and all of its residents.

I think this is unnecessary when it comes to the Select Board. My kids go to Westwood public schools and will graduate from them. I would probably prefer someone who shared that experience to be on the School Committee but don't see that as a requirement.

All residents are paying for the schools and should have an right to serve on the School Committee without having to have children in the Westwood School System; the same as any other board in Town.

I think asking about whether a candidate chose to use the Town’s public school system is a fair question. It’s an issue of transparency.

The Westwood Select Board should finish what has been started and let the judge ejudicate the law. What would be the harm in settleing the disagreement on the rights of the Town?

1. I suggest you see the actual CR (Sec IV B) rather than referencing someone's opinion. Lynne Viti also spells it out in plain English in a recent post if that would be helpful

Kevin – I appreciate your consideration and reasonable tone. I think that Ms. Sibley’s petition success largely flowed from people that were upset with Select Board’s handling of the FS-1 situation and the perceived lack of transparency. The in-person meetings of the Select Board are a positive result.

I agree; compromise is a lost skill of late. Polarized in our opinions about what is correct or righteous, we unwittingly stop hearing (and caring about) the “other”. We become negative versions of ourselves. Angry, pointing blame outward for all the world’s ills.

Yes, Ms. Viti, you are emphasizing one of Mr. Moore's articulated points. As many may not be aware, often the plaintiff is forced to make the complaint in order to defend their property rights. A quick search on the nuances of plaintiff vs.
