Monday nites meeting at the selectman's office was indeed interesting. Chiefum bigumheado has proposed an increase from 19k to 40,000.00 for elderly affairs. Now i was always under the impression that the elderly affair car transport division was a volunteer based program, funded by the town of Atkinson. But it seems that this program has become, an out of control program directed by the Chief of police. Even with direct orders from the AG office to separate, the chief still occupies both positions and the Elderly affair unit is still under the police stations roof. I thought "separate" was to move out of the police station, and have a different director? Anyone else have this same idea?
This whole situation is very similar to when Chiefo was a selectman and a police chief , you know, voting on police matters as a selectman etc... It just seems the chief loves to do what he wants without any regard to the law and ethic.
Now back to the elderly affair program. This program should be moved to the community center with a volunteer based staff. I am sure if the town advertised this, many people would love to join in and be volunteers . This will save the town allot of money in a time that all of us are feeling the pain of loss of 401k's and stock market, and housing markets...
As far as dispatching, any Monkey with a cell phone could manage the arrangements of providing a ride for a elderly rider. This is not rocket science, this is a glorified taxi service at the moment.
look at the video below, If Bigfoot can do it, anyone with a cell phone could do it.

Thankyou for the reaming Carol....
I just copied and pasted your letter as the leading aticle for readers to read. I didn't edit, just put it out there. I Just fixed it, i hope that meets your standards.
Dear Webmaster,
I certainly did not mean for my disappointment comments concerning the water meeting notice's format change to appear publicly on the blog. I sent those comments directly to you as a private communication. I would have preferred to phone you but don't know the identity of the Atkinson Factor's Webmaster.
I'm very sorry that you printed my disappointment comments since I didn't intend or want you to be embarrassed or be upset about what looks like a public personal criticism. I don't ever intend to publicly "ream" anyone. I'm sorry it looked like I did. I've never used the blog to engage in publicly or personally citicizing anyone. In fact, my first comment said that it was't for publishing.
I just got a phone call. Tonight's public meeting called by the selectmen has been cancelled.
Just as Morse notified the selectmen before last Monday night's selectmen's mtg that he refused to attend that night's regular Selectmen's meeting to answer their questions and discuss his latest and newest increased water use efforts and enlargment of his water franchise area, he has now also notified the selectmen that he will not appear at this evenings meeting to answer their questions there -- or questions from residents.
He's just not going to answer questions from the selectmen or residents about his plans for Atkinson's water.
Anyway, please put a notification on the blog asap that tonight's selectmen's public hearing has been cancelled.
Thank you to the selectmen for twice now, trying to get accountability from Morse and HAWC.
The selectmen are regularly being blown off by Morse, but at least the selectmen are trying to get accountability and answers from Morse and HAWC.
Harold M. is a winning ticket for not being at either meeting. He is wasting everyones time. Shamefull to say the least.
question, on the statement from 2007 from the chiefo, what do you mean when you say to ask Mr. Boyle's son about not speaking out? i know about Mark, but what happened there?
Brian's son was harrased by police officers in Atkinson. Over the top, many would say. Was a target due to Brian's position against the Chief at that time. From what i can recall there was 2-3 cruisers involved in the stop, and was a planed attack for sure.
If you would like help in getting rid of the problem politicians in the town of Atkinson, please write to webmaster@atkinsontaxpayers.org and we will get in touch with you.
