Letter
To All Pittsfield Residents,
I am
writing in response to a letter that
appeared in The Suncook Sun last week
written by Linda Small.
The decision by the current Board of
Selectmen to “reverse” the decision of
the former board and keep the elections
at the Town Hall was NOT done after
“only a few moments discussion” as
stated by Ms. Small. It was done after
more than three (3) weeks of
research, and talking with ALL parties
involved. This included the Fire Chief
who stated at a recent selectmen’s
meeting that there were NO safety or
building capacity concerns with the
elections being held at the Town Hall.
He went on to say that moving them to
the High School would create many safety
concerns that do not currently exist at
the town hall.
As a resident of Pittsfield, I find
it very curious that the former board,
which Ms. Small was the chair of, did
not hold a public hearing to get the
public input on such a move. I find it
even more troubling that not ONE person
who is involved in the election process
was ever approached and asked about
their thoughts and concerns about moving
the location of the polls. People like
the Town Clerk, Town Moderator,
Supervisors of the Checklist, NO ONE.
The bottom line is simple. The
current board DID what the former board
SHOULD have done and left the location
of the polls where they belong.
And just for the record, as of
2009/2010 the towns of Barnstead,
Chichester, Northwood, Loudon, Epsom and
thanks to the current board, Pittsfield,
all hold their elections at their town
hall, NOT their schools.
