Open government at County level, but lacking in Moultonboro

This little snippet is from the draft minutes of the Carroll County Delegation held December 14^th, 2009. Interesting to hear all the self back pats going on here, especially from Betsey Patten. The “process works when open.” Funny though that she was the Selectmen instrumental in limiting public input at their meetings and worked diligently behind the scenes in the Police Chief hiring fiasco.

 Henry Spencer: Process of Nursing home went wonderfully. Public knew what was going on. Compliment everyone, especially commissioners for putting themselves out there and all the plans out there for the public. Thank you for your yes vote.

Rep. Patten: Nice to know it was not done behind closed doors. Process works when open.

Rep. Knox: Because process was so open it did get the attention of “others” and widened the examination of plans.

Rep. Patten: Our constituents know that we listen

We're listening also Betsey, and we will remember come election day
