JI Covers Manchester Board of Directors Debate

Kim Phillips of the Journal-Inquirer covered the debate in today’s JI.  The highlights:

“From rural character to social services, charter revision to green energy, a dozen candidates for Board of Directors sparred over the issues Tuesday during a debate that was largely civil, but included an undercurrent of bitterness between the aisles.” 

“But Republican incumbent Cheri Ann Pelletier said Doucette “failed” the town when he sat on the Planning and Zoning Commission for strengthening regulations after VIP located here.”

“Republican incumbent Matthew B. Peak agreed that making the lease competitive is a good idea, but added that the terms of a new lease should be shortened to only a few years, so lease payments and other terms can be adjusted to reflect market conditions.”
