Letter sent to G. Schwall Rehoboth Board of Selectmen

During Mondays 4/23 Board of Selectmen meeting I/we heard from chairman S. Vadnais stating that he was entertaining proposals for new windows for town hall. Are you for real? My dad used to say to me many times, and I will transmit those thoughts to the board. "A fool and his money are soon parted." New windows for a facility whose life expectancy may be at best a few years? I have said before and I know for sure a lot of folks in town say if one cent is spent for repairs to either the town public safety bldg. or the town hall fine BUT that’s it, they will remain as is with those repairs, so do not ask us for more monies for new replacements or structures. I Will Not Vote For Anything New, if the board chooses to go the Band-Aid route for temporary fix only to be abandoned afterwards is a waste of money. Why spend $$ for improvements that have no future? The board needs to learn from past votes how Rehoboth voters think and want and have voted in the past and pursue accordingly. The Dighton Rehoboth school system needs to contribute some reductions, something they have not done in the past. I feel the town of Rehoboth unless helped by "others” is in for some real big financial surprises which will alter our daily life big time
