Letter to the Editor,
This letter is in support of Susan McLaughlin,
Administrative Assistant to the Board of Selectmen.
The Town is very fortunate to have an employee such as Susan. She has
demonstrated that she is dedicated to serving the Town in a professional manner. We
have the honor of working with Susan on a daily basis. We have seen a vast improvement
in departmental communications. Her dedication, professionalism and high standards
are a strong indication that she cares about the Town.
The ongoing “judgmental” coverage
in the Beacon Villager, most recently exhibited in the March 30, 2006
guest column is disappointing and unfair. This column attacks Susan for not signing
her name to minutes, as amended by the Board of Selectmen.
Susan exhibits a strong sense of morals in refusing to sign minutes that inaccurratley reflect the actual meeting. As inferred in the column, she DID NOT “add caveats” to the public record. The minutes were filed as amended by the Board and the filing meets the requirements
of the Open Meeting Law and Charter.
