Cell Phones and High Speed Internet

Egremonters have repeatedly said during the past few years that these subjects are more important to them than all other issues in town (with the possible exception of spendthrift plans for new buildings). So what are our elected officials doing about them?

Obviously not much. I and many others believe both the selectboard and the planning board should be out beating the bushes to get these services to our townspeople. That involves more than just waiting for someone to submit an application, or joining some group that is promising to look into the matter. What more important functions do they have? Do they serve the people or vice versa?

I invite the members of the selctboard and the planning board to respond to this posting with a report on their activities and plans for accomplishing these important tasks. If they fail to do so, I assume that means they're just going to sit back with "same old, same old." Sigh!!
