Sorry for being so aggressive. It's not just the school issues it's the selectboard. Lots of little things lately and this is just another blow. Even if there's a slight chance of him doing something good for the town the conversation should always be about what's happening behind closed doors.

I get it, and I appreciate you apologizing.

the board should be open and transparent with this stuff, but may be trying to avoid the hot tempers some folks in town have around this subject. though, I can't for the life of me figure out why people are so amped up other than they don't understand what bhakta is asking for. he's not asking for 0% tax rate, he's asking to lock his tax rate where it is now while he gets his plan rolling. the town loses no revenue in that situation. if a religious organization buys the campus, the town would lose all tax revenue.

if he's successful, the town stands to bring in huge tax revenue (that it badly needs).

I think the guy's a little nuts, but he's not stupid.

that campus means a great deal to me, and I know it means a great deal to the town.
