It isn't about just one particular councilor holding an elected office on the charter commission and the town counci, but ANY councilor. This is good point, if one can serve, why not 9? That is why we need to fight to keep the commission free of other elected positions in town. Thanks for this, this is something that I think isn’t being discussed in this.

Greg did a good job getting the question to the ballot. He should have left it there but his ego and political career plans wouldn't let him permit other competent folks carry the ball. A vote for Milne for the charter commission was wasted - he heard the town attorney's position but he chose to ignore it. Of course you are right on this.

A charter commission made up of councilors is what we have now, isn't it? If you allowed current councilors to serve why bother with a committee? There are reasons these rules and laws are in place.

Why wouldn't people who have jobs working for the town be able to run? Why not let them have a say? Seems like a union rep or something should have a say in this. If a councilor gets to be on this then so should a rep for the workers in this town!!!!!! What about people who work for the town?

The people on the Charter Commission should be independant from the town councelors. I think that Greg Milne needs to decide which position is more important to him, and move on. Stop wasting taxpayer time and money to be on both. The crazies who cannot accept defeat, and we all know who they are, are just mad because nobody, other than Milne, who they wanted on the commission won. There are 9 people that the voters of Barnstable ELECTED on this committee. They are capable people with ties to this town, and want to improve Barnstable. I am sure they will be open minded and contribute great ideas and LISTEN to others ideas, a concept the crazies are quite obviously incapable of. Let them fight in the courts and try and recall people. They are becoming quite notoriously well known in Barnstable and it will all work out in the end. IGNORE their antics. It obviously does no good to try and educate them on the facts, they don't listen. I agree with you Janet. The people on the Charter Commission should be independant from the town councelors.
