MCA Takes Positive Steps for Voters and Taxpayers

Editor, The Citizen: March 4, 2009

The Moultonboro Citizens Alliance is a group of concerned citizens whose mission is totally open government, voters’ rights, sensible spending, and community involvement. The MCA is a not-for-profit organization and all members are volunteers. The MCA wants to see Moultonborough grow with the town’s needs, not grow because of the special interest wants. MCA members attend a multitude of school and town public meetings because the MCA is dedicated to public involvement in our town government.

Recently, some vested interest in this fine community has criticized the Moultonboro Citizens Alliance. The thrust of their angst is that they do not have a list of MCA members and our supporters. The MCA does not provide a list of members or supporters because there are town employees and others that actively support our efforts who wish to protect their privacy. These same people cannot raise their hand or stand to be counted at our School and Town Meetings.

The efforts of the Moultonboro Citizens Alliance have contributed to increased voter participation in all town elections and town affairs. The MCA has reviewed some town proposals for facts, figures and informed monetary conclusions, such as the proposed Recreation Complex and has informed the voting public. Some of the information uncovered by the MCA has saved the taxpayers from unnecessary tax increase. Through the efforts of the MCA, the Right to Know Law is now respected and followed by our current town government. We, the volunteers of the Moultonboro Citizens Alliance will continue our quest to see that the Town of Moultonborough grows with the towns needs not the special interest wants.

Please vote on Election Day, March 10, 2009.
