Hollis Select Board Transparency Archive

Excellent idea. Expect nothing less coming from you, but still. Thank you.

You may have already sensed this; She is pretty hard Right - though not extreme. I think she views things from an inexperienced lens where “ Lowering taxes “ Is the ideal - But it’s not really understanding the basics of financial stewardship.

Thanks again and let me know when you’re back so I can see this motorhome setup.

We are planning on camping the crooked river festival in Hiram Labor Day weekend.

Talk soon,

Mike

I served one term as a Selectboard person around 2010 and on several town committees too. I am currently on the Finance Committee and was elected 8 years ago as the Hollis representative on the Schoolboard and continue to serve there. > > Our current form of governing seems to be struggling to get up to speed with the 5 member Board and Town Manager ? I served on the committee to put this type of governing together and also on the search committee to find a Town Manager. I am wondering if my past services would be of any help to you. As a side note I also served 16 years in Augusta as a Representative in the House for 12 years and 4 years as a lobbyist for Maine Agriculture. > > > > I am hoping that the leaders of Hollis can come together and execute the wishes of the Hollis voters to implement their voted instructions to organize the 5 member Selectboard and Town Manager style of operation.
