Letter: Selectboard helms a sinking ship

March 17, 2021 by Staff Writer

Selectboard helms a sinking ship

A dangerous situation. Taking on water, and the waves are washing over the sides with increasing frequency. The Captain is absent and some of the first mates are running around looking for a bucket to bail the water. Unfortunately their bucket of choice has holes in it. 

What to do about a dysfunctional Board of Selectmen, and an unhealthy Board of Health. Couple this with the fact that there no longer seems to be a Human Resource Department to field concerns and register com­plaints. We are a vessel just bobbing along with some heavy weather comin’ in. 

Bob Espindola takes the time and does his research. He anticipates issues and works to preempt them whenever possible. This is a serious endeavor for him. I only wish that there were more candidates of his ilk and abilities to belly up to the bar. 

He cannot continue to do this alone. 

Susan Spooner, Fairhaven
