Franklin's Environmental Commission-"We never do anything"
A few weeks ago, I ran into a member of Franklin's Environmental Commission (EC) at a local restaurant.
I asked the individual how things were going on the Commission. The reply: "I don't know. We never do anything."
My wife, who was also with me, heard the comment.
This is an issue because, as I stated in the comments section of current Commissioner Greg Kowalski's blog, there must be some reason why the proposed city budget calls for elimination of the EC, especially when elimination saves the city nothing.
If an un-elected, unaccountable commission, by one of its own members, admittedly doesn't do anything, even though the work and volunteerism of those members is commendable, it's time for the EC to go.
A frequent guest on rthe comments section of these blogs made an unfounded accusation that I lied about what a commissioner told me. I'm not surprised an unfounded statement made its way onto Greg's blog since Greg makes them all the time.
I do take the accusation, a false one, very seriously. As a result, that individual is now barred indefinitely from making comments on my blog.
