ALL THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND
..... PLEASE ....
WRITE TO YOUR TEAM SHELBURNE REP!
Just re-reading the Minutes of the March 30, 2009 Team Shelburne meeting held in Yarmouth with Richard Hurlburt ..... guess I hadn't read it closely enough the first time .... or maybe I was just in denial.
FIRST
The purpose of the meeting mentioned in the minutes was to discuss the funds from the sale of the Shelburne Youth Centre - $791,000 it says! Can you believe it!?!
These folks get monthly reports from Mr. Anderson indicating that he has only set aside $716,000.... they've been getting these financial statements for a year!
Warden Halliday, Warden Embree, Mayor Delaney, Mayor Huskilson, Mayor Stoddard should know better..... isn't anyone paying attention?
Soooo..... I gave the system the benefit of the doubt, in hopes that they would catch this obvious lapse and numerical mistake of $75,000...... Nope! Mayor Stoddard moved and Mayor Delaney seconded approval of the minutes of this meeting with the $75,000 mistake at their next meeting on April 14th and it was approved unanimously.
Still shaking my head in disbelief.....
SECOND
Even more galling was the following statement.
"It was also the sentiment of members present that these funds should never have been put in escrow to begin with."
WOW! What do you say to the members present that won't be insulting?
In November 2007, Frank Anderson issued a sworn Affidavit to the parties involved in the litigation (including all of the municipalities) that he "had dissipated" ALL OF THE SHELBURNE BOYS SCHOOL MONEY!
His attorney at trial said ..... it was all gone and that there was nothing left. Mr. Anderson provided a copy of SWSDA's bank account record showing the money was gone and that SWSDA was deeply into the line of credit provided to SWSDA derived from the $500,000 in illegal guarantees provided by all of the municipal members of SWSDA.
Bottom line is..... if OPI had not been successful in getting a consent order to replace and protect the lost Shelburne Boys School money with proceeds from the sale of the Base, there would be nothing left.... anywhere!
Will someone please explain this to the members of Team Shelburne so that we can stop this charade with the public..... Thanks.
BTW..... contrary to the statement in the minutes, the court is not holding these monies in escrow, SWSDA is holding GICs for $716,000 in their own investment account and God only knows where the interest is being recorded and held.......
